Test drives are always fun

Well I fixed a couple oil leaks this past week. Put in some new ARP's and a new head gasket. So today I decided to go out for a spin, boost it and let it cool off.

So in 2nd gear I did a pull just to see how the car responded with base fuel and timing maps. HOLY $HIT. As if 400 g/sec wasn't enough the car did 424g/sec at 56lbs/min.

This afternoon I'm going to go through and check all the couplers to make sure they are still tight.

Man i need some better seats....... The back supports suck under acceleration.

Hey Dave, Youre still just running a stock head with HKS 272's right?

[DlandryTSI]

Yeah stock head with stock valves with hks 272's.

Just re-torqued the head and so far everything is good. No leaks :)

Just goes to show how much airflow a 1g head can make. Also how far you have to be to start needing head port work done.
Good job dave.

Nah been trying to survive financially.

Hopefully next week I can take it down and finish tuning it. The car won't see the track until a day T&T. I don't want to line up against other people so if I can get solo runs that would be better.

I need to experiment with launching and some other stuff.
