Heat soak is your enemy. What do your IAT's look like at the top of 3rd? Also, you odn't have a header, that would help out the top end as well. What tune are you running? Timing? AFR?

just saw this, lean it out a tad more.

 

Aside from the race, the following is for my own benefit...

Man, you think im gettin alot of heatsoak even with that big H/E? A couple mods i was looking into gettin in the near future was a dual pass endplate and zzp midlength though.

btw...you keepin up with our team?? there doin pretty good, specially against kentucky.

 

Look up DCR (Darrel *** Racing) TT SRT4 kit...you're going to feel mighty stupid...they also have their own TT SRT

ya, raliartist is right

its good to run rich but not too rich on wot

ll is alright but 10 would be almost perfect

for every 10 fuel you want 1 air

 

umm...you are aware that a 10:1 AFR is RICHER than an 11:1 afr right?? And a 10:1 AFR is pretty rich and NOT conducive to getting the most performance out of your engine

 

I tired of reading half way down the first page, don't look for much positive from people on this board. Sounded like a good race. There could be many different variables in that race. I don't think your friend would make that big of a difference but hell give it a try. I know you have meth but it sounds like you got some heat soak or by chance maxed out your injectors.

 

wow what system are you measuring on einstein

 

hey "einstein," he is right. 10:1 is richer. its 10 parts air to 1 part fuel. hence the air / fuel ratio

 

whoops! typoooo!

thats what i meant, exsqueeze me

ss slowbalt....

don't be ignorant

 

faster than urs for sure though

 

seriously...someone running 14's and trapping a click over 100 mph calling someone else slow. The irony

 

indeed lol, i just dont understand why some people dont give the credits where those credits are due. That car stock for stock is faster than a supercharged Balt and with a couple of mods they re beast. They are not slow period

 

the MazdaSpeed 3 has been called the SRT-4 Replacement. These things are hella fast stock, and can be modded very easy. If you get the right mods you can get these things up to 300+ WHP without an issue. I have been looking into purchasing one.

Once the cobb 1.3 maps drop, and they figure out how to get it to stop dropping boost at 5800k its gonna get even better. The Alexia (the europian version) doesnt drop boost at arround 6 K, it keeps builing HP up to redline. its same motor same turbo, just a different tune. As soon as this is cracked, and they use a map to keep from boost cut, and use a boost controller at say 20 PSI, id say it would whoop some serious ass. an FMIC wont hurt either as just that seems to help with boost cut and drop.

I dont know alot, as I dont own one yet, but I have been reading up on their forums and looking at their 1/4 times w/ slips and their dyno charts, and I will say stock vs stock the MS3 will whoop a Cobalt SS/SC's ass. I think it would even give a stage II a run for its money.

Throw an intake and a turbo back on these things, and its insane at how much you feel the difference. My boy has one, and you know that feeling you get on a rollercoaster when you go down really fast, well you feel that as soon as the boost kicks in in your daily driver, its insane.

 

thank you.

now every cry baby on this board can stfu about ss/sc stock vs ss.tc stock matches.

 

Hahah, I LOVE this. Cant wait to put down more HP than a fully bolted MS3 with just the stage 1 kit.

310 whp / 300 wtq FTW! << stupid mopar limited the tq to 300, otherwise it would be much higher.

woot 340+ whp, and 340ish wtq with my current mods!!

 

Yea, I still think you are heat soaking. Your big H/E is really only good for like a stock pulley setup. After that, it needs help cooling your car down.

As for the Gamecocks, hell yea I'm keeping up with them. LSwho is up next. A lot of experts are picking them to upset LSU.

 

teh only thing that cools IAT's worth a **** is Water injection. everything else is negligable.

 

Did I say I wasn't slow? Plus, your definition of "slow" can be different than my definition of "slow". This is my opinion. So don't cry about it.

MazdaSLOW3

 

that's fine you're entitled to your opinion...I just can't see someone calling someone else slow when there are common street cars that trap in the 1/8th what you do in the 1/4 lol

 

lol. Once again.. Did I say I was fast? No. I'm saying the Mazdaspeed3 is slow. That is my opinion regardless of what I drive. Fast to me may not be fast to someone else, and visa versa. Comprende?

 

gotcha, no worries

 

U do have to say that he has an impressive 60' ( well, for a FWD car anyway... )

 

Interstng you said this. When we were tuning, my tuner said when he was pulling at the top of 2nd and 3rd, he could feel my injectors sputtering, and i may be maxxing them out....
