ohhh spicy twisty parts

I decided to demo my new suspension on a new track... yea, not the smartest idea but it didn't disappoint. Definitely feels way tighter than before which makes it easier to place on corner entry and handle high speed transitions (see: downhill section mid track). Exit also feels a little more tidy and there's way less squat/floppyness. I want to put the BMR springs back in the rear though. I think UMI's 200lb/in rate is too much with the stock roll center height as it makes the car too intolerant of trailbraking.
This track is absolutely bonkers though. Definitely going back next year. Check out the air I get around 4:10 lmao.

Looks like a cool track. Thanks for sharing the onboard video, it's fun to watch, but the brake squealing drives me nuts. LOL
Hahaha I also swapped the front pads to Raybestos ST43's right before the event. I thought the Powerstops were annoying, but these take it to a whole new level. The brakes feel fantastic though and have way more bite than before. Still getting used to them.Quote:

I was having issues with the car breaking up all day so I couldn't use all of the power. Could be the opti, fuel pump, injector, etc. I think the motor is hurt though as it blew part of the valvecover gasket out during the last session.
This is ironic because I've been planning a H/C setup out for this car the past couple weeks. Plan was to build a 355 with studded mains, better rods, lighter pistons, small-med sized cam, and my Roadmaster's LE1 heads. High 300's whp should put me between a SS1LE and GT350.
Looking good, sounding bad. Check for a corroded coil wire terminal. Don't laugh, I've had two different LT1's with a on and off miss and the coil wire was the culprit on both.
But then again, a fresh engine would be sweet and you can go Watermelon Boy Fast. LOL

I played with all the wires at the track without any luck. Replugged most of the opti wires, coil, coil pigtail, inj clips, opti harness, etc. Wish it was that easy, but I'm not really bummed because this means I'll get to flex on newer cars next year with all that extra hp lmao.Quote:

I wasn't sure if you followed Nascar. This is what I meant by Watermelon Boy Fast. Watch Chastain. He stuck it in fifth gear and stood on the gas. LOL

That is nuts, hilarious and incredible all at the same time lol. He was going SO much faster than everyone else. Commentators called it perfect, "video game move"Quote:
