wasup people. i went to the track this past saturday. they had the street wars in nj and it was the bomb. i saw the only max out there did a 15.4 next to a honda bubble back. anyboday was out there? holla at me.

 

pretty good times....can you post all of the stats form your slip??

 

it wasn't me it was this guy from jersy. but it ran really good. i think the next street wars are goin to be in june.

 

what track did you go to?

 

it wasn't running "really good" unless it was in the 14s. a VE stick should run faster than that bone stock.

 

maybe it was a VG auto

 

i went to raceway park in englishtown nj. and it was a vg stick. the track from what i saw was kinda a slick that day. lots of cars didn't have a lot of traction.

 

In that case, 15.4 is a pretty good time.

 

Once I get the exhaust studs, fuel injectors, and fuel lines replaced then hopefully I can find out what this VE 5sp can do

Chris we should hit englishtown up one weekend. Let me know what weekends are good for you!

 

It'll do a lot better than a 15.4, I'll tell you that much!
I ran a 14.99 a few weeks ago on a track that EVERYONE was running a 1/2 second slow... So that made me feel pretty good..
then I found out last weekend my O2 sensor and knock sensor are both completely dead (i.e. registering open circuit on a multimeter = NO operation at all)
...
So I replaced the O2 sensor and bypassed the knock sensor.. I'd say it added 10-12hp, conservatively.
mid 14s? noooo problem.

 

Stick you head out the window when running the engine hard, listen for the snap-crackle-pop . It will detonate (I can promiss you that). Just pray that it doesnt burn holes in the piston heads.

 

I did this same bypass. Mine only detonated if I had my timing at 20 degrees with 93 octane. But I put it back to 15 degrees and no more detonation. I just did this bypass as a test and it definitely helped my performance while hot. Now I am back to my stock dead KS.

 

i did the bypass also and it made a huge difference and i left my timing advanced and i dont hear anything abnormal

 

i'm down for anytime after march. i get back from vacation on the 5th of april and there's a show at etown on the 6th or i may go to the Rutgers meet.

my car is doing a tour through various shops in the region it should be out in your neck of the woods this weekend actually

 

where?? i wanna know please!

 

Really? first thing I did after the bypass was to get the engine REALLY hot by driving the **** out of it (with the bypass off), then I plugged it in and drove around the neighborhood in 4th and 5th gear, below 1200rpm.. even floored, it NEVER detonated- or at least never sounded like it was... and yes, I know what it sounds like.
