I see. If pat G tuned them, I'm sure he set the tables up.
Worth data logging to see if air fuel goes wack though

So I compared my injector data to the data that’s in the sticky on here and it differs a bit. I went ahead and used the data on the sticky.

Went data logged for 40 mins and couldn’t get it to kill like it was doing before. Today is cloudy and isn’t as hot as it’s been on the days that it killed. I did notice that my CMV dropped to 12.80V at the lowest while idling with everything on even the headlights but did not die.

Awsome man. Progress, I always used injector glue rate only but until Geoff Skinner changed all the other tables the car would idle fine one day and next it would die. Once all was fine tuned,,it never surges

Yeah man, I like it when the small changes goes in the right direction. I'm looking fixing a small surge now. Happens every time it comes to a stop, rpms land on target, stays there, then goes up about 100 rpms then back on target. Has to be a table transition.

After making a 3 hour round trip to a show, I noticed that the car was having excessive blow by issues. Oil was misting out of the dipstick tube. I found that my sealed catch can setup was pretty restrictive (only pulling from the valley cover). I added a one way valve and breather to the passenger side valve cover and tried multiple WOT pulls all weekend. Competed in an autocross event and also made a one hour round trip with no blow by issues.

One way valve, actually same valve you'd find on the brake booster lol.

Plumbed up.

You can see the filter down by the fog light.

Line ran to the passenger side valve cover.

Bought it on ebay. It's labeled as SS wheel center cap emblems if I remember correctly.

Thanks Paul.

I finally received my new set of wheels and had the tires mounted. Decided to go with black instead of the gunmetal gray.

Plan on going to the track tonight to make a few passes. I have a buddy with a HCI, stalled 5th gen that wants me to run his car down the track also.

Thanks guys, went to the track Friday night and ran an 11.51 @ 125 with a 1.8 60'. It was hot and I didn't go crazy with dialing in the tire pressure on these street tires. It was nice rowing through the gears with no issues.

Wheels look awesome. Isn’t that almost the same as you had when I saw the car at the track? I did the same thing too, my new wheels look the same to the untrained eye but they are much lighter and staggered now.

Nice run. I think that’s a tenth or two (just looked, .2) faster than when we ran although it’s the same mph. Did you do anything different? Sorry I had been keeping up with the thread but I forgot.

So back in Feb, I ran a 11.46 @ 125 with a 1.6 60'. But the car was on much lighter wheels, bogart 15" slicks and skinnies, no sway bar, no A/C, stock transmission and Monster level 2 single disc.

Best trap speed I did was 127.

Friday night I almost beat that time on street tires, with A/C, sway bar, full interior. Mainly because I have a built transmission and a twin disc RXT clutch. Looking forward to Nov, with a set of slicks and prepped for the track again.

O damn. I didn’t realize that. That thing is gonna roll. My buddy just got his 4th gen camaro running. Ls3, auto, ac etc., basically a really nice street car like what you have. he went 10.60 @ 126 running super rich. His tuner has to get it dialed in for him. He was on drag tires though.
