BAD Track Day! Confused?

BTW - when it gets ultra hot out the collant temps can rise significantly

Alcohol injected cars already run on the rich side
When this extra collant temp enrichment kicks in the car can easily mis-fire - especially on high boost
You did not answer my question from before - how does the car run on lower boost - say 23 psi ?

I agree that is was hotter than a mother that day, as I was spectating from the stands. When we went to the track and you were running 12.5's it was nearly 40-50 degrees. outside. I say that your times will be much better if we go on a cool night

How much shipped and when can you get it out? Only thing preventing me from another custom tune is deciding what's on the final thing that I want to do with the car and getting it done before the tune. Hate to keep on re-tuning for stuff
If the retuning doesn't happen, you think you can still reflash the car with the first custom tune? I like to run with the first tune for a bit. Please let me know.
Thanks.
Sorry for the
Re-gap a fresh set of iridium plugs to .024 to prevent the hesitation/stuttering/sputtering and misfire issues.
I had all those 0300 issues when I was running anything larger than .024 on my plug gaps on my 2005 MR.
My problems were really bad when the weather got really MUGGY/HOT in Minnesota like right now it's about 100 with the humidity/heat index.
I have NOT had any problems after gapping them to .024 like the factory manual states.

I went to the track again last night Al. I am still misfiring in 3rd gear and it was not hot like last time (about 60-70 degrees). I don't understand how I would be misfiring in only one gear? It would make more sense if it would happen in more gears. What do you think?
