one thing im kinda concerned with is when i shift at WOT, my car wants to "hiccup" kinda. It did it with my supercar pump and now with the twin cobra pumps. So its not a fuel problem i dont think. Any thoughts?

Should i stay on the gas through the shift?

 

hey, maybe you blew a head gasket ******. think thats why your's is so slow??

 

Don't waste your time power shifting. You will make it run just as good slightly lifting between shifts as you will keeping it to the floor. Plus, you are alot less likely to nuke parts Nittos are never going to hook very good on a stick car anyways so just roll out there and have a good time.

Steve, sorry we didn't make it out last night, we ended up waiting around for another buddy of ours to meet up with us. We did put about 14 bass in the live well last night though

 

Ohh ****, the paparazzi's out...
For some reason I'm feelin another A4 vs. M6 debate coming on.

 

that would be me, later that day i blew a head gasket or so i think. i still have not fixed it yet but ill start pulling it apart soon i just know that alot of water came out of the oil pan after that day

damn bro that sucks. what all you have done to it.Looks like it pulls real hard. what was your time? i saw the mph was like 130 sumthin

 

Its because of your positive fuel pressure returnless system.... the Cobras have the exact same problem.... your pumps are maxed out voltage wise @ WOT & when u let off to shift the computer drops the voltage to the pumps & u get that hiccup when u get back on the gas. its the pumps trying to compensate to the fuelpressure demand from the computer...
The only was to totally be rid of it is to run a return style fuel system..

I have the same problems...

 

Welcome...
Sounds pretty strong. Did you do all the work yourself? Where did uget it tuned?

 

all the work was done myself. Manny over at hpp in dallas texas does the tuning. Where you get yours tuned at. The only places close are dallas or houston.

 

i didnt notice you were right here in bossier. yeah man, that lil hiccup does get old. It seems that if i stay on the gas more than normal that it wont do it.

 

well, I am all set to go. I didn't have time to wash it up, I still had the shoe polish on from last time. I am gonna head out there straight from work. I get there about 8:30ish. I wouldn't really want to go for tnt before that anyway with this heat. P2 i'll show you how to do a burn out there, make take a couple of times to get the hang of it in a stick car. Don't worry about what you look or sound like, you'll feel better when you see some of the other clunkers people bring out there.

 

haha... aight i hear ya man. Ima try to hunt down a helmet today while im off work.

 

Shoe polish?!? What!?

 

yeah... kinda lost on the shoe polish. Im bout to clean the car up. Ima guess that armor all on the tires isnt a good idea?

 

I've got a helmet you can borrow.

 

i think i found one man. You going out there? Thanks for the offer.

 

Just to clarify for all you newbies...............The shoe polish is to mark the tire to make sure it isn't spinning on the rim when he launches.

 

you goin hilton? All this talk I have heard about supporting the track and nobody is goin?

 

I assumed it was some kind of ghetto paint touch up.

 

It'll be a while before I'm ready to race again. I put in the new rod bolts and started pulling the stuff off to pull the engine out the bottom.

It's hot like the bowls of hell right now. Just dunked myself in the kiddie pool for a few minutes before coming inside. I'm going to head back out there around 5:30 and see what I can get done before the mosquitoes drain me.
Between the heat and the mosquitoes, there is not a time of day when it's pleasant to be outside.
Next steps are to pull the steering connection, take off the ac compressor, disconnect the master on the transmission, pull the wiring through the firewall on the passenger side, do something with the power steering (haven't really thought this through).
Then it's just remove the subframe bolts and the transmission bolts and lift the car off of it.
Once I get the engine out of the car, I see the rest of this going fairly quickly.

Mother and baby are doing well. At the two week checkup he was 9lbs 12oz! Big ole boy!
