Friday-TRACK DAY- Going to try this again!
Some of you may remember a post a few weeks ago about me taking my 1992 procharged vette to the track for the first time since I got it up and going.
The outcome of the first couple passes where not exactly what I expected. The car only ran a 11.45 @129 mph. There are alot of reasons for that I think. No traction even with MT ET STREETs being a major one. The other being the car had a terrible miss at 5000 rpm that turned out to be the opti spark and a ton of corrosion.
So Since then I have changed the opti. The car seems to run perfect and pulls to 6500 rpm now! I have also made a couple of major changes to the tune. When I was running at the track last time, I only had 14* of timing in it above 4500 RPM. It was on the conservative side since I just got the blower on it, I didnt want to blow it up! lol. Now I have 23* timing and meth/water injection working as it should. The car seems to pull much harder and rev alot faster. Someday soon I will have to get the thing in on the dyno and see what kind of power it is actually making!
Anyway I just wanted to start another thread and give you all an update! I will post some video and times when I get home tomorrow night! Wish me luck!
BTW: the track Im going to this time is known for its prep and being sticky! Hope I dont break anything! lol
