I am finnally here this Friday so I am in(that only took 2 years). Newbie though so I may need a few pointers.Will my sled helmet be adequate. Are you dropping rear tire air pressure at all?

Meltdownaverted · 07-21-2011, 01:41 PM

Sled helmet will be good.........I haven't dropped rear pressure was thinking of trying it this Friday see if it makes any big differance. No worries about being a Newbie......you'll soon be an addict

OK so rip out carpet, back seat, front passenger seat , speakers, sub, and remove any screws and bolts that aren't crucial.Lol.

highmark · 07-21-2011, 02:02 PM

Oh, and only wear a helmett and thong.

Meltdownaverted · 07-21-2011, 02:30 PM

Altough the helmet/thong combo would be entertaining I'll let you know need to have on long pants, a long sleeve shirt or jacket and closed toe shoes. Just a heads up as the first time I showed up I had to make a quick trip to Walmart to comply

No code threw, Jannetty tune.

Maybe the headers will make a bigger difference than I think???? I was running a similar mph as a stock gt500 that night and my best pass was .3 faster than that car (that I saw anyway) so maybe all is well and it truly is the DA making it seem slow to me. The only other comparison car that night, again not another camaro, was an 06 GT stang with whipple, cold air intake, and also stock exhaust. His best was 13.3 @ 110 to my best of 13.1 @ 108, so again same ballpark. Just seems like should be faster is all, mph and 1/4.

Datalog it and send us an e-mail so we can check the tune

Thanks,
Nick

I think your tune from Ted is fine. Remember your track altitude is 3380 to start and at 6:00 on the 15th the DA was 5259. With poor track prep and stock tires your times and speed seem OK given the conditions. I'm 3 hours away and everybody here is running slow with this weather. You'll run better this weekend as the weather is cooler and with your mods and the new tune you'll see a difference. Like everyone else your just gonna have to tough it out till fall when the good air comes back, then we'll see your big smile.

I'm coming in tomorrow to do some tuning, maybe I'll stick around and make a few passes. Sounds like there's a Magnum and a Challanger that need a little attitude adjustment...

highmark · 07-21-2011, 05:50 PM

Thanks, I did not know that. If it doesn't rain, I will see ya there.

Thanks Nick, I was able to talk to Ted yesterday and said the same thing so I'll see if I can make a few datalog runs. The 91 octane probably doesn't speed anything up either. btw, what on earth are you doin in the crazy canuck section,,,,, you comin up to get some of this bad air??

I know I know you're probably right..... Would be great to meet you and see that sweet built car of yours slay some cars.

Really hope you make it out I've been following your build and I'm pretty sure I watched you make a few passes at the Speedway last fall alot before your mods would luv to see your car now

hot ss · 07-21-2011, 10:52 PM

hot ss · 07-21-2011, 10:52 PM

Man! Now I'm REALLY wishing I didn't have to work tomorrow so I could at least see that! I watched them race and that Magnum is fast!

Take 'em down!

Hey man,

That's the length I go to make sure every customer is happy!! I read every section on this board even after hours in most cases.

I've been to Vancouver, but never Alberta. I loved Vancouver, what a beautiful place.
