Fall is some of the best driving weather.

Once racing is done mid Oct, would like to do a group cruise weekend of Oct 19th or 26 somewhere out of town- perhaps Galena or somewhere scenic

Preferably October 26th. The weekend before that will be pretty busy for me. Maybe get our group dyno day in at Karls Performance??

OOOORRRR you guys could come to my car show on October 5th which is on our FB page.

rberns · 08-27-2013, 04:24 PM

I agree with the fall being a great time to drive, but the wife is due in just a few weeks so I think my season is about to end early. lol

I am about to replace my fuel pump in my DD as my fuel gauge isn't working and I might as well just replace it all while I am in the tank. Question I have is it as simple as remove the old pump and install the new one or do I need to make sure that I have the correct fuel pressure after install?

Watched a couple Youtube videos and it shows a master mechanic using some fuel gauge that he connects into the fuel line under the hood after replacing the fuel pump. I just need to know is it necessary or should I be alright if I just skip that step.

I would say you should be fine if you buy a good name brand pump

Hi all I'm new here!! So what's going on around here??

firefighterassassin · 09-01-2013, 10:45 PM

Nope I'm all stock

IowaGuy · 09-02-2013, 09:38 AM

A call for help:

Anyone in my neck of the woods want to run my car a bit and see if it feels right? It's a bit sluggish and I can't do a burn out. 0-60 is like 6 seconds with simulated 1 foot rollout and the car makes a loud fan noise at idle and reverse. Not sure what an auto ss should feel like. It's tuned.

IowaGuy · 09-02-2013, 10:25 AM

Yea I was. Heat really bogs these cars down?

Hmm 5.5 0-60 now at 65 degrees and half tank fuel. Ill see if the dash computer says anything when it's making noise. Im running in S mode.

IowaGuy · 09-02-2013, 12:29 PM

Thanks for the info!
Went back out on a flat remote highway.
Dynoliscious reports (with 1 foot rollout)

0-60 5.37
60' 2.42 @ 35mph
1/8 9.8 @ 80.4

A couple around that time and several 5.4s
I tried runs where I increased rpms before going but they where all worse. I think the program starts early from the motion and also tire spin.

Just taping the brake solves the burn out issue. Now I view tire spin as the enemy.
