Personal best 11.5 is not enough

[95burgundyesi]

Went to the track today with a nitrous tune, but the solenoid is somehow not working, so I was stuck running 11 degrees of peak timing on boost only. I ran an 11.5 at 124. And I am mad about it haha I mean yeah that is a good time for a street car, but I know what it should of done. next week....

Still a good time man! Trap and ET says your driving it well. It's funny how quickly goals change

The right lane at byron would not hold me in 2nd, I was spinning so bad I was trapping 108 and going like 12.2 in the right lane.I might be calling you for a few small tips Matt. I am not even sure if I am maxing out the turbo, current psi is 31. Think there is more in the turbo on a BEP mitsu housing?

Actually there is a good bit left in it at that point. If your 60' time is in the 2.0-2.1 range, then yes, you are driving it pretty good. If your 60' is in the 1.7-1.8 range or quicker, then there is a lot left in the driving of this car. Cars cutting 1.8x 60' times and that trap could be as quick as 11.3-11.4. I have seen one car with a 1.57 60' trap 124mph and have an 11.0-11.1 ET. None the less, nice run on a street car!

Opening day at Byron I was trapping mid 130's and it was holding 2nd without issue; both lanes. First was a huge problem but dead hook 2nd on street tires. The next weekend I cut a 1.71 60' with the all seasons. I would really look into your alignment or any other issue that may cause it to lose traction easily. I remember you said that last year you were having issues, too.

On the other hand, GLD opening week I had to pedal it most of the way down on street tires... Even at Import wars it was sketchy in 2nd.

Let me know next time you go. I'm surprised I didn't run into you since I went to the track about 4 times in two weeks

I am going saturday Matt. Tomorrow I am tracking down the loose wire for my dsmlink controlled spray. I just had an alignment done with -1.5 in the front and 0 in the back for camber. toe is zeroed out. I have a full poly kit in the suspension on d2 coilovers. I do not have a spotter to tell me if the car is squatting bad. But the thing rides stiff. I have no idea if I should drop the softness in the front, or maybe it is too stiff in the rear.

I was coming out of the hole hard with 1.7 60' foots on all 5 passes. But as soon as I hit 2nd and or 45mph I would spin hard.

Now that I think about it, with v3 speed density I should still be able to log air flow per min in a captured value right? Or is that feature inaccurate with speed density? Also a thing I keep telling myself, I had +2 degrees of timing added above stock timing curve during these passes. Where normally on boost only I had about +8.

11.5 @ 125 for hx35 is actually pretty good. Whats your overall weight?

 

[95burgundyesi]

full 2g with leather and every option, minus a/c and cruise removed. I figured out why the fuel nitrous was not firing. I have a bad FPS driver in the ecu. it was not being grounded out from ecu in result. So now I must find someone who can repair my ecu.

Nice time in a full weight street car. Best of luck getting your ECU problem fixed.
