3rd Annual Cecil Meet 10/27/07

Status, car is apart, taking the header & ext wg to be rewelded sometime this weekend hopefully! Then if I get it back togheter between Mon-Weds, that still gives me a couple nights to try giving it a slight tune!!

I'm gonna be working my butt off to get it ready

I torn mine down, welded and reassembled in 1 evening and was still in ved by 11! Wheres the can do attitude?? lol. I'm draing the E85 and refilling with 93,retuning and cranking the meth up. At 6psi my brown tops were maxed @ 75psi base fuel pressure.

You've been granted 28 more days to get it ready. Take your time and get it right.
That gives me time to change out my cam also.

What happened to waiting Doug??lol. Guess the alure of 11's is just too much.I'd be happy with 13's my first time out....scratch that.I'll be tickeled if the car makes 1 clean pass and doenst turn into a mushroom cloud!

2 things
1) I can't keep my mouth shut.
2) It wasn't enough to top the list.

I may get about 3 more track days before the end of October, so there's plenty of time.

I dont think you'll have much competition at cecil, but I wonder if theres any lurkers waiting for the last minute to post times?? You'll be right there at the top at the end.

I think you're being modest. I've driven Holset powered cars and if you get yours in tune it will roll.

At the moment it wont rev past 5200rpms. Its at 10 psi and hit around 5k its like it hits a rev limiter. it sounds like a machine gun and is rock steady in rpms. and yes I did check the rev limiter settings. lol.

Well Guys I will not be there this year. I've been working like a JACKA$$ and thats all I've been doing for too long. I'll be think of you guys & wishing I was at the light waiting to rev the turbo & pop the Clutch. Good luck to all & make us Turbocoupe owners proud.

I'm impressed so far. It spools very close to the T3. Removing the vam was a night and day difference. I actually can get over 10 psi in 1st gear. It took till top of 2ng gear with vam to get low boost.I think you're correct in thinking it'll be quick when its tuned. I hope to run with evrybody, not just watch again for the 2nd time! lol
