Local Pittsburgh meet part deux
case and point we can't have meets without dave.
people were just wandering around all ***** nilly, no sense of structure of organization.
dave, i need your bosses phone number. mark my words this is the last evo meet you will be required to work for. in fact, after i am done with your boss you won't have to worry about work ever again.

Need some of the Tuning guru's help/thoughts. If you'd be so kind to check out the tune that is on my car. Could you give me your opinion? Is this a tune that would produce 391whp and 337ft/lb torque? Despite turning the boost up to 24.2~ things are still out of whack. To me it's almost like a drop on tune.

One of the biggest problems I see is that boost "should" be peaking at 26.5 around 4200rpms but is actually hitting 24.2 at 6700rpms.

Got my phone back today!! Found out the guy with the 1000hp supra would of came if i had my stupid phone.... and a 420hp srt-4.... Oh well as long as theres 10 or more cars the guy with the supra will come, he only runs race gas and waterfront is a decent way so he wants to make sure there is decent amount of people 
so he will prob come down on the 8th with me along with srt-4 and maybe some other friends with GTR and 350z if you guys don't mind!! Cant wait for another meet soon!!

Going up to Buschur?? if thats what you mean then im not to sure, I need little bit more money before i can buy double pump, injectors, bbx, headstuds, and manifold! Then probably go up to them or jason. Not sure which one. I would like to go E85 with the BBX so probably around mid summer id say.
haha ah Id go when ever!! Not sure about doing the road course because i don't have 250-300 bucks and i have to take that class and stuff i think? but id definitely be down for autocross or w.e if its cheaper!! If i can borrow someone's helmet! or even to watch people autocross id go when ever!!

I'm pretty sure they have helmets to borrow.

in addition to that autocross gives you an understanding of how your car reacts at speeds you will often see in real world driving. there have been more than a few times where the skills i have learned in the parking lot have saved my bacon on the street.
once you get comfortable (read as bored) with autocross, then start moving up. try a few of the time trials on the wilson circuit, for example. this preserves a high level safety and solo competition while allowing you to go faster and get a perspective on what it's like to race on a real track.
slowly upping the ante each time is a good way to lay the foundation for a solid skill set, as well as creating a good base of confidence in the car and yourself as the driver. this is more or less the progression i followed and so far it has served me well. i will readily admit i am not the fastest guy out there, but i get around safely and have a hell of a lot of fun. and at the end of the day as a weekend warrior racer that's what it's all about, having a good time and keeping the car shiny side up.
^ ah thats a lot better, thanks for posting that appreciate it!! I'd definitely love to try all kinds of racing. I also noticed pictures of supermoto?? Didn't know they did that there, but raced motocross for couple years and always wanted to try that! Looks fun But thanks again for the info.
But thanks again for the info.
i have a loaner helmet if you want to borrow it for an autocross. it's probably way big for your head though. also the NHSCC has loaner helmets available for their events. they're up by the timing trailer.

just would like to have fun and get to know my car more and be able to control it more like you said. Id much rather start off with autocross to, because lol im soo paranoid when it comes to other people racing too and don't want to block them or anything and don't want to be reckless. For motocross i would just go slow around the track and get a feel for it and just up my pace each time seemed to work well, i'd definitely do the same for this! probably a stupid question but how do you know when your pushing the car to much... i know slamming on the brakes and the rear end slides out, but anything else?? i don't want to roll or damage the car just have fun like you said justin

It's good to hear you have a motorcycle background as that teaches you lots in the way of balance, modulation and just as important, being smooth. You will be a great canidate for high performance driving and will deffinately be a fast learner when I get you on the track.
