First run Saturday at Bremerton with the track prep was a 12.696, almost a 1/2 second difference and on a 1.71something 60 foot. My 3rd run was a 1.70something 60', but I had to let off due to the CCC race and still broke out. I wish they would do more to the track on Fridays, now I am getting worried my 10 bolt will bust if I have many of those launches with no prep.
I know.

, as I have always stated.....6 or 8 trips down the track over the course of 12 months don't make for a lotta practice. Prolly doesn't help that I drive trying NOT to break anything since it is my DD and I JUST got the diff replaced......

I'm coming to the conclusion that you can do one of two things... run slower times than the car is capable of and not be at as much risk to break something, or rip that car like you stole it, risk breaking a shitload of parts, but ran that 2 or 3 tenths faster...
Gotta ask yourself... is that great looking timeslip worth $2k in drivetrain damage? Hmmm...

I would just like to point out the Problem with the transmission was difined years ago ...before Jake even had his car I can provide video of difining moments at both PR and Bremerton. it is a WELL known issue
Lets cover some of the other issues Here.
Jakes car has a pinging issue. Although not as bad as it was with the old short block. Then again not having the pistons and valves touching helps. Right now jakes car has a pretty much stock timing table. I had to pull alot of timing in the Drivability areas so it would not ping but at WOT It has a fair amount of timing. We Have tuned it since the new short block. I guess with crappy gas? I am not sure what is causing it as I personally have never been inside the motor to see WTF is going on. This is some thing that really need's addressed
There are other issues that could become problems fast. Jakes car should run low 12s ALL the time N/A. It is about 7-8 tenths off what it should be. I am not sure an agressive tune is going to make it faster or blow it up. It is also Jakes ONLY mode of transportation. I must admit this tends to make me shy to the safe side. He already lost one motor and I would hate to see him loose another.
I Will see what I can do about building an agressive program for you Jake. In the mean time I REALLY feel a back up car is good advice. Not just for you but ANYONE playing this game

My car has the older OBD 1 computer in it. It is a OBD 1 issue.
I agree Ellis. Anotehr daily driver would be good to have. An aggressive tune when carefully monitorered could not hurt to try. Fuel pressure gauge, Log the runs. Do WOT runs on the laptop with teh fuel pressure regulartor in hand.
Have you went back to the correct tune for that cam since the motor blew up? I cannot remember. Oh well. SOmeday we will get teh mystery figured out. Right now I am just looking at placing in this Friday's CCC!
Sorry for the confusiong

Yea, a second vehicle is a good idea for what we are doing with our cars. You never know for sure, breakage may be tomorrow. I have my Dodge truck, and it saved my butt when clutch install went bad, vette was out for 5-days.
OBD 1, ok, yea I don't know a whole lot about it, so I'll step outa the diagnostics.

Hope to meet some of you on Friday.

Do you know if it's tru that starting mid year 2001 all C5 got the following LS6 Components:
*LS6 intake
*LS6 Oil pump (first I've heard of than, but makes sense anyways)
*LS6 block
*LS6 exhaust manifolds
*LS6 diameter MAF (except screen not removed)
*LS6 torque tube
*LS6 clutch (first I've heard of this)
I'm running a thread on the other site, and these are the components we've scraped up for now. Apparently it was due to an over production of these parts. I heard that a few F-Bodies in 02 got them too.
