This was last week Friday on the dyno finally to start tuning this rebuild on E85 but had issues with Uprev Dongle, waiting on it to be shipped to finally see some numbers...
Well, well. I just saw a article in the latest Grassroots Motorsports magazine. A supercharged, 415 hp, '03 350Z, #133 - at Virgina International.
2:01.8 - Great lap. If it wasn't for a DAMN transponder issue, that would've put you one off top ten - And in a class of some VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE automobiles, (and top notch Jockeys) not to mention faster than a LOT of very expensive automobiles (i'm sure you know)
Anyway, congrats on a terrific time! Enough to get honorable mention and a picture of the car in the magazine.
Car ran in even hotter weather a few weeks ago to an "official" 1:59.5. Still dealing with significant overheating issues in hot weather...which means only one lap and unfortunately the tires/brakes are not quite up to working temp the first 1/3 of the lap.
The car had a lot of issues at the Magazine Challenge. It was still on stock fuel tank and gas, which meant fuel starve unless it was completely packed with fuel (heavier than it needs to be), overheating at 1/2 lap and having to more or less coast the back straight (and way down on power). The car was also very pushy. That stuff along with the transponder not hitting made for a long, hot, sort of miserable weekend.
Cracked my Motordyne V2 a while back and decided to go a bit more civilized with a Tomei Touring Medallion. Also got a set of Chargespeed mirrors. Believe it or not, my car is actually dirty in this pic...
Took it for a nice ride on Sunday, thought I would hit 80k but turned out 8 miles short... Wheels coming off soon, as the cold weather is fast approaching.
