Blah blah blah my car blah blah.
I've been a little less than impressed with how my car has been running lately. Low airflow numbers and no real kick in it when driving. I don't know how Dave felt when riding in the car back from PTG but I was pretty disgusted.
So I went out a few nights ago, laptop in the passenger seat, intent on doing a little tuning. First thing I did was turn the boost up to 25psi. After blowing off vacuum hoses like no other I got a solid log in. Little more knock than I wanted to play with so I played around with it and at 23psi I was generating the airflow I wanted and had knock down to something I could tune around which was like 10-12 counts.
I'm having serious problems finding a good place to do logs. I can't do them in second gear because I'll break traction as soon as I spool, and 3rd gear runs are a little faster than I want to be doing with cops out there.
Decided I'm going to get the car dynoed for sure this July. There is a good place up in Winchester called AR Fabrication so instead of just calling them up, I drove up there today and talked with the owner for a while. They do a lot of custom fabrication and build ups and specialize in DSMs and Hondas. They had a S2000 that had appeared in I think SuperStreet and Brad Brook's drag Colt. I personally saw his Colt go 10.8 last year on a stock 4g63 block. This year the engine is built and they are expecting some easy 9's.
Anyway, not much life going on in the forum right now. I think everyone should drop a little bit of what is going on if not with their car then at least with themselves.
