I turn the boost down and still get some knock. Race gas is cheap insurance, plain and simple.



FWIW, primary o2 only pays .6hr, cost me $47 to have the shop install it. That also is a no-brainier, IMO.

Silver car = ready to dominate

 

^ the only thing saving his motor that day was corn juice.

 

So you're saying the benefits of running a higher octane fuel helped keep his motor together... but you still think its just a band-aid.

 

no ninja here...

 

doing it in my driveway in 15 minutes and saving 50 ucks is a no brainer to me. White people confuse me

 

You ain't doin it in 15 min. Stop frontin, b!




I'm running straight 87oct and base wastegate pressure tomorrow. F**k yo couch!

 

you effing retard. him running corn juice is not a band aid because his car is tuned for it and he runs it all the time. not like his car is tuned for 93 and he spike it with e85 at track.

what's the definitions of band-aid?
noun - 2) Informal . a makeshift, limited, or temporary aid or solution that does not satisfy the basic or long-range need:

symptom: knock at track
band-aid: spike with 100/110 to curve knock at track
long term fix: tune to run safely on 93 at track.

what happen when you go to track that dont have 100/110, you going to sit out and not run?

 

Gonna watch my light flash at me.

 

^ just take some logs on track and tell Petey to tune down the a/f and timing for 93 on track.

of all the years i've tracked, i've only spiked my car with 110 once. that was last month when i turned the boost up, higher than i normally run (so it's not a band-aid).

i do more track days in one year than you fools do in 3 years, if i don't need to pike my fuel, then you fools are doing something wrong. just saying, com at meh kid.

 

I think you need to disable it. It's making you paranoid! Honest.

 

^ electrical tape works good

 

I agree with Marc. I'd rather spike then turn the boost down and I'd hate to get any slower than I am now because of some knock.

That said my car was tuned for 23psi bleeding to 20psi and 11-12* conservative timing up top. And If I ran 26psi and it held up top I'd notice a big difference.

If your running NASA T2 then running a conservative timing tune is fine. BUT for Autocross, HPDE, TA/TT I'd maximize the tune to it's fullest because you have the choice to get out of throttle, pit and try the following laps/session after soak is gone. Versus a wheel to wheel race where you don't want to have to slow down and give up places.

FWIW That weekend I was running 11.7 AFRs(Showing as 12.7 on ZT-2 ) on Sunoco 93 pump. No knock. No boom.

 

^You're kidding about pitting within session for heatsoak right?

 

paranoid.

You cray!
