Default Got into the low 11's this weekend

Went to the track sat, had a horrible morning, could not run better than at 12.1 at 117. Car kept throwing a SES light during passes. Finally got to scan it around lunch time, thank god my tuner was there. Dan Bills from FLP was there since they and a local club were sponsoring the track day.

Anyway we found bad misfires on number 3 and 4 cylinders, the plugs were brand new, just put them in the previous weekend. After replacing the 2 bad plugs car was much stronger and I pulled a new personal best of 11.42 at 124 There is still more in the car I believe.

linky

Hopefully, After chasing down the misfires I only had enough time left in the track rental to get a couple passes in, used those to play with tire pressure. Plus it was 85 out that day. I would like to see 10's this year

Getting sideways at 60 mph is not boring!

See sig for what an automatic with less engine mods can do!

Also, gas mileage is not great, but what 500 hp performance cars get great mileage?
