Re: 1990 Corvette Z51
I drove the car again this today and this misfire was even worse, especially in the beginning. Whatever the Techron knocked loose, I think they need to come out for a real cleaning. I've never really had to clean injectors like this before, and boy did I pick a doosey to start with. The Accel SuperR...

Re: 1971 El Camino
That thing looks super nice, cant wait to see it in person! I loved the '72 I had in the pre-Tiresmoke era.

Re: 1990 Corvette Z51
I've been driving the Vette a bit the past couple of weeks, even going to work a few times. The dash is still kinda glitchy and is very annoying. The backlight behind the digital speedo flickers constantly. The tach needle is still somewhat bouncy, although its still way better than before I had it ...

Re: Autocross Dragway 42 Sun, Nov 5, 2023
NOTES FOR NEXT TIME: I started the sessions with just over a half tank of gas and by my 5th run, started to notice that the fuel was splashing so much that I was already started to lose power on a couple parts of the track, so now when I leave home, I will make sure the tank is full. I remember tha...

first turbo pass!
After the failed T-n-T at Kuhnle, I dug into it again. I got the exhaust pipes near the turbo wrapped with good header wrap. Now I can run it comfortably with the hood on. I also removed and cleaned up with the water neck/upper hose, as there was a persistent drip coming from there when it would war...

Re: 1979 Malibu
So there's been a bunch of happenings/progress that I haven't gotten around to posting about until now.. including the first drives around the block, and (spoiler) an unsuccessful first test-n-tune at Thompson. First test drive.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiyHsOcMkFg Chris and I thought the cl...

Re: 2023 Kuhnle Motorsports Park Wednesday nights
Well, it was the last Wednesday of the season and we had great weather for racing. There was a ton of cars and friends out tonight. When they made the call for Stock class, it was 5 lanes! I went out on a mission tonight to try and bring home a trophy. Ive been really solid on the tree lately, but l...

Re: 2023 Kuhnle Motorsports Park Wednesday nights
I have to add one more pic.. this was from last week, just a time run, but i beat Paul on the tree. No small feat. But since his trophy collection dwarfs mine, i gotta collect my little victories where i can!
Looking forward to the season finale tomorrow night!

Re: 2023 Kuhnle Motorsports Park Wednesday nights
Wow, we've been out the past two Wednesdays and didn't write anything up. 9/13: This was my first time out with the Chevelle in quite a while between all the rain and the work on the Porsche. And my first pass turned out to be my best ever, 12.16 @ 110.28 !! Reaction.....60 ft.......ET..........Spee...

Re: Software Update
Registration has been opened up and the challenge questions to stop the spambots have been changed also. It was encouraged to use questions which were not easily found on Google, so the two questions are: What's the nickname of the orange turbo malibu? What's our road race team name? They only need ...

BTW, Scott's friend Jason, who sponsors the team via his company, has told Scott to get 2 (!!) more 3.0-S2 engines.

Re: Porsche 944 Megasquirt conversion
No, the correct answer will be to figure out how to use the factory crank sensor back by the bellhousing. That will eliminate this bracket all together. That bracket might be nice for street use, but is not positioned well for an endurance racecar, IMO. Scott only sent me a little 10-second video of...

Re: 2014 Ford F-150
~81,000 miles A couple weeks ago, I started getting a bad/weird vibration in the Tiresmoke TurboTruck while taking the dog to the vet. It was bad enough that I pulled over to see if there was a big stone stuck in the treads or something. Didn't find anything. I made it home with only minor vibration...
