    Fayetteville motorsports park Nov 6, 2016

    Gearing up for one last test & tune before Cecil. Looking to improve my best time of 12.53 @ 106.
    Track opens at 11am, racing from noon to 5pm.
    Anyone in the area is welcome to meetup, would enjoy seeing some other turbo-mopar there!

    Items to test: slight change to wastegate spring tension, change boost signal to wastegate actuator, may change cam timing slightly, may also run a 4bar cal test which may include increased timing.
    Will be logging using wowzer's new mpscilink device for further testing.
    Did not order a new bov yet.

    Hopefully i can get someone to capture some decent video. And i'll try to get some GoPro video from outside the vehicle.

    All loaded up and ready to head out in the morning!
    Got a different cal in with a bit more timing. Tightened some intercooler plumbing clamps.
    Looking forward to it, the air might still be cool for the first pass.

    First pass= new record!
    And by a bit too, here's the slip.
    The silver neon srt4 didn't even know what hit him!

    I disagree. Big dark minivan lead him from start to finish... oh, he knew what hit him.

    Thanks, meow!
    Second run not so good.
    Looked over in the lanes and was a Firebird, not sure what kind of like a Firehawk with the ram air scoop.
    Was trying out retarding my cam slightly (i had advanced it a bit a SDAC26 for my last run), 15psi in Slicks. Boost setting unchanged.
    Hit some sort of cutout, but the mpscilink did not capture what. Thought might be overboost, but log doesn't show.
    Launched and pulled good, then cutout and got back in it, and it happened like 3 times. By that time the firehawk was in front, and couldn't real him in.

    So checked log even in .csv format and can't see what happened.
    So i rescaled to 4bar, set my overboost up a bit, added a bit to my launch control rpm, and just barely releaved a bit of tension off the grainger. About to give it another go... we'll see what happens. Will also log on my laptop this run using mpscan.

    Re: Fayetteville motorsports park Nov 6, 2016

    Hell yeah!
    3rd run....
    Nothing will say it better than the slip!
    But just think, if i had not loosened up the gvalve a bit!
    Oh, i did add one gallon of fuel, thinking the "cutout" could have been from low fuel. (I was a bit under 1/4 tank.)

    4th and last run, just couldn't pull it off. Had the same sort of cutout/bucking again about 3 times. Need to examine my mpscan log to see what happened. I did up my boost setting a bit, and raised my launch control rpm a bit more.

    Here's the slip and sorry the last run was anticlimactic!

    But, at least l had a great time. It's fun going out and making a new record, and even better when you break it in the same night out! 12.0230 @ 110.38 is the time to beat at Cecil next week. Let's see if she can get herself into the 11 second club!

    Haven't made any weight improvements, so should be right around that 3120 lbs. But hopefully the scale will be open at Cecil so I can verify.
    Also, i could always remove the front passenger seat, that also has a full glovebox full of crap!

    I was going to say a high fiber diet and fasting for the week might get you 0.03.... but the passenger seat sounds much easier!

    Yeah, i really can't afford to fast for a week! I think the difference in air temp alone should have me covered. But i think i'll prepare some adjustments as well. But first pass will be unchanged setup except for raising overboost cutout incase that is what happened.
