First of all, I had the pleasure of racing a new S2000 on Saturday while at an AZ BBQ meet. Bitch ass though he could take me, even though my car is still running like all hell smelly ass.

I don't bother hitting the 5500 rev limiter to jump off the line because it was just a stop sign. We both took off and once I hit boost in 1st I jumped ahead of him, my back bumper was staring at his front bumper...all the way through 3 gears. I never pulled on him and he never gained on me.

Good News:
An S2000 runs a 14.2 1/4 mile, with a good launch my car is still safely in the 13 second range. Pretty happy with that considering her running condition.

Bad News:
This damn car should be faster than that, don't you think??? I always thought the car would be good for 12's, but I still have a lot of work to do to this car to get it running right.

I think my TPS is still off causing my fuel maps to be wrong which causes me to knock under WOT sometimes, but not always. I'm also having some pretty bad idle problems, vac at -12 makes the car stall at stop signs a lot.

Still much work to do, but maybe I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel?? Girlfriend is out of town for a week so hopefully I can focus on the X for a week.
