Another little tip lower your tire pressure abit if your going to run street tires. I run two psi less on the drivers side than the passenger side this helps because of the unequal axle shafts. Try alittle at a time, to find the best spot. It will help with wheel hop abit to. Im headed down to our track tomorrow with some new upgrades. Looking for atleast a 13.9x pass but hoping for even faster.
 
Oh another thing. If you have a logger now is the best time to log also. My 3rd gear pull, 36 counts of knock... OUCH!!! It was at 20 psi... it was spiking or something.
Second run was at 10- 12psi, 3rd gear had 21 counts of knock.. Knock = no fun and no power!

Honestly don't exactly know what knock is :( (hope I dont get flamed for that) I have a cable and evoscan but just for checking on coolant temp and other info or clearing cels I'm a learning noob :/

It's cool we live and learn.
You should have these things check on evoscan...
engine rpm
knock sum
timing
02 sensor
coolant
and maybe egr...
and some other stuff I for got. But those are the main ones.

Here you go.

So I went to oreilly And what I found was what looked like a handle for the battery not really anything to tie it down, can someone shed some light on what I'm lookin for -_-
 
Yeah I know that's the thing but I didn't see one, and no I won't have time by Thursday :/
 
What do you guys think? Good for inspection?

As long as it's screwed down and secured they will pass it. I'm sure that one will pass. What did you do about the broken wheel stud?
 
Hoping they wont say anything :pray:

Looks like you were having some problems lining up there LOL. A good 60ft on street tires is probably 2.0. Im going to assume yours wasn't that good?

It was my first time :rolleyes:

Anyway no It wasnt that good, my best was a 2.489
 
You'll get more familiar with it next time, I did the same thing the first time I ever went to the track. Thanks for getting that vid, I look forward to seeing it posted up. :rocks:

That's the same 60ft I got there on street tires.

My bad I couldn't stop by maybe next time. I still gotta upload it, it won't let me do it from my phone. You did better than my friend his best was an 11 something. Lol.

At least your learning and having fun! Thats really the most important thing. Congrats on getting your first day out of the way. Now next time will be smoother for you. It's a good day if you didn't break anything....you didnt break anything did you? :hmm:

Exactly right. That's how I look at it most of the time LOL, if I'm able to drive to the track, makes some passes and drive the car home, it was a successful night :D
