1799, Well finally in the 15's... barely
Posted by Michael_97RS, Aug-29-02 04:01 AM
15.99 (So yet 15's, but by the skin of my ^*^$#)

Don't have the slip in front of me. First run to tune camshaft, running pig rich clocked a 16.00 against a Supercharged Grand Prix who ran a 15.1.

Second run I pulled a 2.2 60' (almost sure it was 2.2 not 2.3) and I thought I bogged slightly on the launch... And crossed at 15.99 against the same Gran Prix who again ran a 15.1 again. Still running rich.

I need a datalogger to really tune her.

Next trip to the track I'll slap the 14's on see what she does, hopefully I can tune up a little better by then.

The best thing that happened was in talking to the guy runs Test-N-Tune, I got a free run card to use next time, as long as I go before the end of the season (few weeks).

Both runs of the night pathetic reaction times.

It's great to see you got that 1/4 mile time down Mike!

The 14s will take at least a tenth, if not 2 off your time.

A 2.2 what 60' time? A 2.20 is GREAT, a 2.29 is good but you could still do better. Either way even if it was a low 2.3X 60' time that should still indicate you've got the launch down pretty well. Bogging the car will, of course, not do you much good but it looks like you're in good shape so far in terms of launching technique.

I'm not sure with those cams I'm not sure what general SAFC settings will work, but see if you can at least borrow someone's OBD2 logger to see what that O2 voltage is doing. I'd think even with cams you could go down at least -8% on the top end and be fine.

I'll check the slip for my 1/8th mi.

I think once I can get to exhaust work she'll open up. She feel choked a little... especially when the cams really want to breathe.

The ECU is dumping a lot of fuel in her, especially at low rpms. I'm down 13% first part of rpm band and probably should go lower... high end I am still working on. Only 2 runs are not enough to tune to. I don't know anybody around me with any datalogging software at all.

I think it was a higher 2.2 60' time.

I was looking over your mod list and I was about to say that you should be running faster times than that since you have more mods than me, but your still running the stock exhaust. Even with my mods I felt a nice difference between having my stock exhaust and my 2.5" piping

Yeah exhaust plus an ECU still learning the cams, plus way out of tune, plus heavy ass 17's on = slower times than expected.
