PINGtastic! track times and other crap.
 

went to the local 1/8th mile track. it was my first time out there, so i had no idea where to launch the car.

the first pass sucked. hard. i was a tad low on boost *humid as hell*, and went thru 2nd and 3rd seeing only 9.25 PSI.

60 - 2.61 (OUCH)
330 - 6.82
1/8 - 10.24
MPH - 71.85

grrrrrrrrrr... it spun horribly after an initial bog, banged 2nd and spun some more, then noticed a whopping mid-9 PSI of boost. BOOOOOOOO!!! so i turn up the Gillis valve a full turn (which is roughly 2 PSI) and get right back up onto the line.

60 - 2.53 (really starting to piss me off)
330 - 6.55
1/8 - 9.64
MPH - 72.82

something is wrong. i saw a TAD over 10 PSI. this time it spun and i pedalled it some and i cut a tenth off the first 60' time. i get into the pits, turn the knob 3/4 a turn and stage again.

60 - 2.34 (annoyed at how slow it is, but better than a 2.61!!!)
330 - 6.32
1/8th - 9.46
MPH - 75.23

excellent. 11 PSI of boost, i slipped the clutch until 4K and hammered it. now it starting to act right. if i can cut a better sixty foot time, i should be into the low 9s. stage again...

i spun bad on the 4th pass, went to 2nd and heard "The Spraycan". i let out and drove thru the traps and back to the pits. the stock intercooler can kiss my ass. it was heatsoaked, and i detonated a bit at the torque peak in 2nd.

so i ordered some colder copper NGKs and i am going to get a front mount made here at work. hopefully i can knock out an 8 second 1/8th mile pass without the Haltech or race gas! its going to be tough, but shit, warranty covers halfshafts. ;)

sweet times need to work on that 60 ft though it really is what makes a big diffrence. My best run on the 1/8 is a 9.96 with a 60ft of 2.12 of course mine is stock and you are running a boost controller I assume.....

yes, a gillis valve (manual controller) and a JoeP FCD. JoeP is the man. :)

i am getting some NGK coppers tomorrow, and see it that helps some. i need a new front mount as well.

the traction sucked, all the VHT was going to the 'stangs. :D my home from home (DFWstangs) had its track day today. if the MSP was rear wheel, i would hooked like a MOFO! :)
