2004 Z06 backfiring on the track
I was up at Watkins Glen this past weekend, and on a few occasions, the car backfired. A few times it was under moderately hard acceleration. A couple of other times, it happened when I lifted for braking. The car seems pretty peppy, good power and acceleration. The car has a Vararam, ARH long tube headers, x-pipe, free-flow cats, and TI stock exhaust, with stock cams, Taylor racing wires. The car was dyno tuned a couple of years back, and I haven't messed with it since.
Any ideas what could be causing it? Is it just in need of a good dyno tune? On the street, the car runs fine; never get any backfiring. It was only on the track.
Thanks,
Steve
