I think that track is actually a "slow" track if it means anything.

 

tire pressure can help , but is usually not the answer. I had bad wheel hop as well the last 2 times at the track also hampering my 1-2 shift and costing me some e.t. My best e.t. was done with a good wheel spinnin 1st gear but only a 1.72 60' . usually street tires dont benifit from drop in tire pressure but sometime it can help, i dropped mine clean down to 20psi and was still hoppin.

We definitly need to know what your mph trap speed was to determine what kind of power u are makin wether or not your car is workin for ya

 

another thing to consider to help eliminat wheel hop , is to purchase stiffer motor mounts and a tourque dampner.

dont know how much u drag the car or if its a daily driver , how stiff do ya wanna go you know

 

Seaking of the torque dampner, I still have the other one for you Dan. I told you you could try it out. You just need to fix the one mount.

 

Well i have half way done cleaning my car. Should be ready by tomorrow's event.

On a side note, there is no way in hell i am getting that sap off the roof hood, and trunk of my car. After some further thinking and frustration i realized i am just going to get a CF hood and trunk and paint my roof black... Thoughts?

I'll bring you some stuff tomorrow that will work. I guarentee. It's clearcoat safe. Bring some towels. It's like $20 a bottle!

 

good deal brian i will grab that from ya give it a go see if it helps out.

I hope i can make it to the track again soon maybe knock a couple more tenths off the time

 

a good clay bar kit doesnt work?


On another note I finally made my self work on my tune tonight, I am currently running 24 psi, afr's at 12.0, and no knock at all. The car is loving it, I just made a timing map tonight I will flash in the morning and see if I can get it to knock.

The temperature outside this evening was awesome for tuning and making power...nice and cool

 

No apparently it doesn't. I got the meguirs clay bar kit. However, when i am talking about sap marks, i am not talking about 1 or 2 of them. I am talking about over 100 of them, some as big as of the end of a pin. Some as big and long as gummy worms :'(.

On a positive note though, i got this new spray on wax and it is amazing.

Steve I found a few links that have similar info, seems denatured alcohol, mineral spirits, finger nail polish remover and some other household items actually could work and not damage your finish....

1 more that says alcohol works.......

Hmmm interesting... I will be calling up my sister tomorrow and "borrow" some of her nail polish remover. All i can say is, if i don't get it off i am going to be so depressed having to buy a new hood and trunk.

Looking forward to tomorrows meet. Oh btw, is anyone else bringing a female? Mine is tagging along and yeah well hopefully there are some others so they can talk purses or something.
