3800 new PB....

[phat_ridegt]

went out to byron yesterday with the mentality of '11's or bust'

lol

well no 11's, but i did accomplish one half of my goal.

the last two track outings ive been experiencing some kind of phantom false knock...i know the car is not detenating back enough to pull 3-5* timing. so something is causing it. i tried everything i know minus zeroing out the knock sensors...

on one scan it showed an average of 13* timing and 9* kr. this was all accomplished with a fat 11.8-12.0 afr.

i dont know wtf is going on, but i said &*^% it and i leaned it out a little more, added 1*timing and ended w/ a 12.4afr and 6* kr. car went 12.162 @ 111. i went 12.1699 a couple weeks ago, and my best trap before was 110. so it got slightly better lol.

during the second run, it popped at the top of 2nd gear like it hit the rev limiter, maybe it did, maybe it was a piston, but when i hold the rpms at like 2500i can hear a random miss, not a dead miss, but something is up. so not wanting to go against my motto, i ran it hard the rest of the day lol. regardless, i planned on pulling the motor next weekend....

my guess is #1 cylinder. whats yours?

Damn son! I'm going to have to recam the truck along with water injection and 30" DR's to play with you in the Spring!

I'm guessing the Vette left just after that run. HaHaHaHaaaa

I saw on clubgp you are going to try to sell this car again or else demod... why?

 

[phat_ridegt]

i dunno

i prolly wont do any of the sort...kind bored, kinda sick of it, kinda broke....lol

 

[Sinister Drag Designs]

nice times, so close to 11s
if i were you i would demod,sell it, buy a 97 gt(coupe) for pennys and throw all your parts on that.
just my $.02
if you do need another block i have a low mileage L32 sitting around we picked up from Ed morad
keep us informed about what went wrong when you tear into it

ive thought about that, but im thinking we are going to keep the car, and im going to just go with an l26 block if something is damaged. hell i might even it's it not messed up...i dunno

Congrats on the PB. Sorry to hear about the engine. 11s for you next year and 12s for me.

Dan- you more than likely did what I did to my car initially. you just chipped a piston....and the chunk of piston bent eithe you intake or exhaust valve slightly...so you do have some compression on the cylinder(enough to drive normally and not notice), but once you get on it....you feel it.

My advice( DONT FLOOR THE CAR ANYMORE) you will shatter that piston..thus rendering your engine useless.

 

[phat_ridegt]

yeah im really leaning towards a piston failure. either way, time for an l26

 

[CoolGTX]

go get them plugs out, and let us know!

 

[phat_ridegt]

eh motor comes out saturday, and ill pull them heads and just see for myself lol.

 

[UR LOSN]

let me know if you need help....I've gotten good at pulling/dropping in L67's.

 

[phat_ridegt]
