nice numbers you got there, i myself will be heading up to cpracing august 13th, it would be nice if we had a few of the charlotte people come by the place, would like to get a mini meet together. they are going to put the 3.12 pulley on as well. i have the stock vortech pulley on now and im hitting 7 psi or so. hopefully they can get me numbers around what you have. , on a side note, how long did it take you to get there from atl ?
backagain, you might want to verify that date with CPRacing. They will be onsite at our annual Carolina Z Club car show on the 13th. Unless they are doing your tuning later in the day, not sure how Eric is going to be in two places at once.

You'll be much happier once tuned, then. I often downshift to 3rd rolling at 70-75mph. Get a nice tire chirp and launch, then an almost immediate shift to 4th is necessary. It's very addictive.

Multiply that number by .48, then add that to what is shown on you LCD or datalogging value. Here in Albuquerque, mine shows -5.1 to -6.0. This is an atmospheric pressure reading at my altitude (i.e. 5500 feet). At Sea Level you would show 0 PSI.

In other words, you are probably starting on the negative side of zero and then moving positive. I had a hard time understanding it at first and still kind of hard to explain, but the Zeitronix sensors are very accurate!

Thanks I knew it was something like that. Overall I added more gauges because I had trouble reading the Zeitronix while driving.

This is much easier to read while I am hauling ***:

I was doing the same thing before I got mine tuned. It has not happened since. Hang in there.

Nice numbers! Congrats and enjoy.

I just scheduled to drop my car off at CPrace on 08/14. Yeah, I know it's a Sunday. Matt is going to meet me the shop so I can drop my car off, and then I am off to the airport for a business trip. I will pick up my new beast on 08/19.

If you stick around through Saturday, you can come out and show off your car at our club's annual Z car show. Should have 50-60 Z cars on site for the show. Check www.carolinazclub.net for more details.

I am just confused as to why this would even happen? What could possibly through the car into limp mode without throwing a CEL regarding fuel? I know on my old maxima that if the car was running WAY too rich it would trip a CEL, but the car would never go into limp mode.

Anyone have a technical explination of this?

i would like to stay, i posted in the southeast section about it, seeing if anyone had a couch i could crash on. i've never been to charlotte before, my car should be done friday afternoon sometime and would like to hit the town that night, maybe a few guys can head up to the shop and hang out until the car is done. then we could get ready and head out for the night, let me know if anyone is interested.

Show is $25 now (prereg price ended on Aug 1st). If you don't want to be judged, just diplay your car, it is only $10.

ba... I'll make a note to drop by CPR on Friday the 12th. I think Carolina Z Club will be announcing a location for dinner on Friday night so our out of town guests will have a somewhere to meet. Anything goes after that!
