I found this interesting from my last log at the track... the trap speed was only 128 mph but oddly enough the car thought I was doing much better (Guess it tried to pull a fast one on me)

Here ya go:



Speedo said near 140

I have stock size tires and stock rims.. not that it is a huge difference but I thought it was funny.

 

Trap speed is your average speed over the last 100ft so as you cross the line your actually going faster then what the slip says, but yah that's a little to far off...

 

Wow Well I feel stupid now lol. I never knew that.

 

LOL I'm glad it was you and not me

 

D@mn from the looks of that log you have some serious misfire problems. See RPMs and boost go up and down throughout the pull.

 

in his track post he was saying how his car was breaking up in the runs.

 

don't know about aem but with my ems i can do a correction for speedo vrs actual to get whatever i want. i would think aem would do the same. until i found it i was really doing better than i am now. in my case the po prolly had larger wheels / tires.

 

Yes I could manipulate the VSS if I wanted. It is close enough for driving under 80mph so I dont care

And yes, on that pull the ignition was breaking up badly. Thats from an 11.13 @ 128. With a little more tuning and a decent run I would think a 10.80 @ 132 will happen at the same boost. At the gap that I run the plugs at they only last about 4 or 5 runs. I will gap them lower next time. My ignition is perfectly bone stock which doesnt help.

 

Well it is getting faster for sure, I have the same problem is why I noticed it quickly just by glancing at your log pic. If you can get your ignition fixed you will gain some serious time and hp!

To save yourself some trouble don't buy an ignition amp (SUN or HKS DLI) becuase it won't rid the problem either, I have tested both. Going to have to change the coils all together.

 

Wow, now some things make sense

 

I have a bunch of COP setups made up I am just too lazy to install it on my car because I want to use an ign amp if Im gonna do that.

The plugs werent breaking up that badly on the other runs. It was just the tune wasn't the greatest and the gas sucked. I will find another 40-50 horses in it still before I stop trying to make more power.

I still havent even fixed all the boost leaks. The car is a work in progress. Im planning on bringing it the weekend after next to some import shootout at RockFalls raceway. Its a kinda crappy track but at least it should be warm to give me more traction. Im tellin ya, nothing else added and no more boost the car will run a 10.80 @ 132mph. Once I hit that I will start thinking about building it finally. Either that or buy some rims/slicks and see what I can get with those

I never knew that either.
