More updates!
Raced Jay745 over the weekend - what was it, 50-120ish? It was a great race, we were both kinda back/forthing until his meth took over while I started heatsoaking then he had me by atleast a car by the end. Much excite!
Wound up cleaning my intercooler & fixing boost leaks. Not a fun ordeal by any means! The last owner of this car had kind of a janky setup holding everything in place; didn't go back together too well, and the radiator fan wound up cutting into my throttle pipe. Way fun, so I decided to buy an upgraded (aluminum) throttle pipe with a meth bung before the stock piece starts leaking.
Good way to remove the noise pipe & be one step closer to meth anyway, while eliminating a small choke point in the pipes as well.
Also, went to the track yesterday; only ran once but got:
13.9 @ 108 mph. No boost at launch, and it was about 95 degrees and super humid. All things considered, not too bad. I know with some practice and better weather this would be low 13's capable.
During the race however my lower belly pan gave out and cracked, dragging under the car LOL
Soo next up I just 'had to' order the upgraded belly pan which covers the whole bottom of the subframe area and has a turbo cooler scoop along with the trans cooler scoops. Will be better for aero as well as cooling.
Car is going into GRDtuned in west chi' today and they will be cleaning my valves and doing the timing chain tensioner this week! Fingers crossed that they don't find that I need a new chain due to stretch as well!
