Cordova - Vickory Day - 10/20/02 Options

[awd4kicks]

Alright...it's almost here.

For any of those planning on going to the special test and tune racing at Cordova this Sunday, get ready! There is a group of us meeting at 7:30 AM in the Bartonville Kroger parking lot. We will be grabbing some breakfast and then heading out to the track after that.

The weather is supposed to be partly cloudy and in the 50's. So cross your fingers and hope the weather holds out with the possiblity of improving!

The entry fee to race is $40, but if you just want to watch I'm sure that your more than welcome.

BTW-I'm not sure if that's how you spell this guy's last name. (Vickory?)

Marucs,

You should see how your car does with a larger inlet and outlet on the intercooler. Hint hint. I'll bet you'll gain at least a tentth or two. The best I could get out of the 14b was 12.72@105.7. You're driving the hell out of that car. Good job.

Our car did run a best time of 11.46@121.6 this past weekend. Thank you Marcus for diagnosing the coil pack problem. The first pass was 11.48@122, then on the next 4-5 passes the car was missing badly no matter what changes I made to the VPC and GCC. 11.77,11.79,11.9. The car would miss at about 6 grand and shut down at 7 grand forcing an early shift. I made one pass shifting at 6800 and ran 11.50. Marucs found the coil problem and I changed the coil started the car and the oil spewed onto the ground from the oil filter coming lose. Frantically fixed that problem and put oil in car and made it to the staging lanes just before they closed them. The last pass with the same settings as the first run on the VPc and GCC netted an 11.46. No heres a question for everyone out there. What are all different things you have done to bring the knock sum count down.? Currently on the pocket logger I get FULL knock of 43?? The timing is retarded back to 5 degrees!!!!! Just think what this car would run 15 to 20 degrees of timing? I need all possible fixes. Hell mabye the is running lean the thats where the knock is coimg from? I only get about between .02 and .20 on the O2 voltage which obviously is wrond. I've changed the O2 sensor and still get the same readings. Any ideas?


Thanks
