Vegas recap
Q1 we ran the back up engine this weekend because I broke the race Motor on the Dyno last week. So we had no tune up for the motor with the manifold that we run now. We maybe had 4 cylinders misfiring all the way down the track and it showed 7.06 at 196
Q2 I made a lot of adjustment's to the fuel tune up and the engine came to live and blew the tires off. Way to much clutch. The bad part about it is still couldn't work too much on the fuel because we only went one second into the Run before I lifted. So not a lot of o2 information.
Q3 we changed one of the discs in the clutch to a less aggressive disc just because the air was so bad almost 5000 feet. we only had 4 grams of counter weight. Got down ok still had some cylinders misfiring. Still had too much clutch on it but went 6.84 with some decent speed at almost 203.
Q4 made more adjustments to the fuel took more clutch out. It left okay but in the meantime the racepak v-net cable disconnected and I had no shift lights and no O2's. I bounced it off the rev limiter really bad in first gear shifted hit it again and second gear realize that I didn't have any shift lights then shifted it by ear into 4th and into 5th and went 6.86 at 202. I didn't think that was that bad of a pass because of the amount of time that I was on the rev limiter. also i didn't have no O2's because of the vnet cable disconnecting so couldn't make any more adjustments to the fuel for E1.
E1 the air was much better so I added 1.7 % to the fuel map for the weather change. I added a 1/4 turn of base to the clutch and 3 grams. I got put in lane 1 I never got a test hit in that lane because of the k&n challenge. We left higher on Sunday 7200 the car drove hard left. I had to lift for .3 seconds and I hit the chip in second gear and third gear. hard to watch for the shift light when you are trying to keep the car off the guardrail. Got it straight gas to the floor and still went a 6.75 at 204.7 all over the chip at the finish line. I'm pretty sure with all the things wrong with that pass it had a 6.69 in it. Not bad for the back up engine.
With all the things that went wrong this weekend I'm still pretty excited to head to Houston.
