Good races. Honestly you should be putting the same power down as a EVO8 with cams. Do a boost leak test and check your tune and make sure you are not knocking. Were you street tuned by Al or on a dyno? He walked to a little to hard. Should have been a much closer race. That's just my opinion.
I just have the basic Mail in Flash from Al. I will have to check for any leaks or knock though now that you mention it. I know my IC pipe blew off the first night I had the car with the Exhaust and MBC on.
I've never done a boost leak test or anything on the car, so I'm kinda curious now.
Test it I think you will be surprised. To check your knock just get the Evoscan software. You can data log and see exactly what is going on and also it will give you the ability to tune your car (reflash). Last time I checked it was under $100 with the cable you need to connect the car to a labtop. A good friend of mine owns and 9 and he was only trapping 104-107mph with your same set-up. After we fixed his huge leak and retuned the car he was trapping 110-112mph on pump and 114-116mph on race gas with zero knock. Also go to Napa and pick-up some T-clamps. The stock clamps suck and will continue to blow off.
Is tuning the car that way hard to do?? I have 2 laptops, so I have that part covered. Where can I get the Evoscan software?? I don't have any experience with it, so I don't want to get into something over my head.
I've been meaning to upgrade the T-Clamps, but haven't gotten around to doing it yet. My brother and I are going to check for leaks tomorrow or the next day. So hopefully I can get this all figured out if something's wrong!!
Wow, that's actually not the outcome I was expecting because of the mods on your evo...good race man, and props to you for actually posting a loss...not many people do that nowadays.
my car pulls really hard up top i raced a srt-10 truck yeah i know it is heavy as hell but he was pushing over 500 to the wheels vortech ram air intake, s2, full exhaust, and cams i pulled a car on him easily my car pulls really hard now if i can jus get rid of my crappy tires put some decent tires on it i will def. be in the 12's or get drags and be low-mid 12's
Me and Pete are pretty good friends. I mean hell I live with the guy. You said you wanted to race a slower SRT. I ran 13.54 @ 104 yesterday. My mods are AGP WGA, Iceman CAI, and TurboXS RFL BOV. I also have my resinators cut out. I'm sending off my S1 PCM today to get reflashed and then I'm putting in Petes old gutted cat, Map clamp and AEM Uego WB. My boost is set at 19/17. I raced an Evo 8 yesterday on the hwy and I pulled on him about 4-5 times. He claimed he had 400hp. I guess he was lying. Great race.
Sounds like your mods are really similar to what he had. I'm always down to run though!!
Ya the only thing that he has that I don't for power is Exhaust. That 3" O2 housing and Dp with that Borla 2.5 really helps him out. Hell the guy would be in the 12's If he could get traction. He knows how to run. But he's not to bright when it comes to being a Mech. Thats what I'm here for. He races, I fix. Sounds like its gonna be a good race. Pete, set us up man. Later.
haha jimmy u guys should def. give a race from a roll it will def. be very close and jimmy i am not stupid when it comes to cars u jus know a lil more about them then me who is following who i put on a wastegate what is the next thing u do hahhahahaha i roll my bumper what do u do haha
Nice man, you got a little freak right there. Looks like you tuned it well.
it actually isn't tuned right now i am gonna put on a aem uego wideband and a mapclamp got them at my house but didn't get around to installing them then try to make the trip to greensboro to get tuned by tkmotorsports and see some dyno numbers
112 trap speed +stage 0 + no tune + 20 psi?? Correct me if im wrong but most srt's I know on stage 0 with no tune AT ALL and high boost with those mods arent trapping that high with a 2.0 60 ft on street tires. Not dogging you or anything but thats kinda odd. But hell if it works it works nice car man
jimmy can verify my times and my mods he knows everything about my car he knows my car is stg 0 and i am not running 20lbs it is 19 and that is the spike obviously and then holds at 15 lbs to redline i might have a factory freak who knows i don't know i guess i need to make my way to the dyno one of these days to put some numbers up after i put on my stg 1, mapclamp, and aem uego wideband i will hit the dyno so i can tune and see some numbers i am thinking 300ish whp keepin my fingers crossed when i am done i want to have 350ish whp that is my goal i will keep u all updated not trying to go big turbo might jus get stg 2 injectors w/ the stg 1 pcm
just to let u all know i jus ran the quarter mile that morning and i ran a 60 ft. of 2.3ish 13.03 at 112.51 i need better tires but my car pulls really hard off rolls.
check out my myspace group/car club http://groups.myspace.com/jacksonvillencsrt4s join if u in the area ONLY best 1/4 13.0989at 103.95 MPH 2.0279 60ft on crappy michelin tires best trap 2.07 60ft 13.29 at 108.88
Something about those numbers don't add up right! 2 Different runs #'s are way different Maybe its just me. Nice car though.
i would post up the timeslips but my scanner doesn't pick up the yellow copy that was what i was getting due to losing or being the second one to the booth because it seemed like i was up against 12 second cars everytime haha
Now, if you achieve the low 2 sec on those street tires (like on your sig). Your looking at high twelves at 115 at least. That should be easy. You don't even have to worry about the 12 second cars they put next to ya. Coz ya have one too! Mid twelves on DR's
that is what i am hoping for jimmy can verify that my tires have NO tread whatsoever i couldn't even get traction babying the car in 1st and 2nd haha but yeah lookin to get slicks in the future to get low to mid 12 or get some better street tires (need new tires anyway just don't have money for them yet b/c i keep on spending all my money on mods hahahahhaha)
HAHA that is funny because i rotated them to go to the track all 4 are equally as bald i was going to the line doing 2nd gear burnouts sitting for a lil bit and then opening the window letting the smoke out hahahah all 4 are getting bald minimal tread
