Raced the car at cordova this past weekend... had some mixed results... some good some bad
first run of the day was 12.0@106 ... but I think I got off it too early because I didn't know hwo long the shutdown area was (and my brakes suck.... lil air in the lines... I couldn't even hold the car well enough to do a decent burnout... as a result I couldn't get the slicks very sticky all day) 1.69 60'
2nd run 11.8@111 on a 1.75 60'
3rd run 12.0@114 on a 1.89 60' (tried right lane, got on it hard, went towards the wall, got off and back on)
4th run 11.8@114 on a 1.77 60'
5th run 11.9@109 on a 1.63 60'
the car was all over the place in terms of MPH ... ET it stayed pretty consistent which is weird since the 60 foots sucked
I think i've narrowed it down to an ignition problem... not sure if it's plugs, wires, coil packs, injectors, or possibly the MAF
on all of the runs, after switching gears there was a period where you could feel the car not going faster... and I confirmed in my logs that for several tenths of a second the car was barely increasing RPM ... definetly didn't feel like the converter was locked... just felt like the car was struggling to increase the RPMs ... then all of a sudden it'd jump several hundred Rs and it felt like someone in back of the car gave it a good HARD kick in the ass...
but the car definetly has more in it... if I can get this ignition/fueling problem fixed car should hopefully pickup 4-5mph in the 1/4
on top of that a high 1.5 60' ... car should be going pretty well then... i hope
This was on a 1.776 second 60' ... I wish the track photographer woulda gotten my 1.63
