Default taking a squat or what?!?!?



cars running like crap though best in -800 DA was only a 1.85 13.29 @ 102 mph down 4 mph and probably 4 tenths

i think i have narrowed the problem down though to the cold start injector hanging open making the car run REAL rich. will reset the IAC and swap the cold start injector and the MAF hopefully tomorrow.

please refer to this post for more details.

Default Squat?

Just curious, did you disconnect your front sway bar? Mine doesn't launch like that!

Why not eliminate the cold start - unplug it and the front sensor.
Can't remember the name of the sensor right now.
The elination would/could make your first minute or two of running a little rough.

Nice squat - check out my take-off on my pictures.

thanks man but it could/should be a few tenths a few mph more

my friend Rich just did a rebuild and has his old cold start injector and another MAF we can try. didn't make it over his house yesterday due to a few personal things i had to take care of with my business.

i don't care about rough running for the first minute or 2 on a cold start cause i'm sure at WOT it won't matter
