me and robbie got stuck at that stop sign and just when we were finnally getting ready to pull out a howard county cop who was making a left just sat there an gave us the look.so by the time we got to the light yall were gone.damn it figures.

 

Yea I saw that cop just as I made the left. Shut her right down as all the exhaust noise was sure to attract that cop...

Did not know you were planning to tag along or I would have slowed down a bit.

 

Sorry man, next time you go up front so you can keep up!

 

I wanna be in front. lol Sure, I see how it is...leave the slow car in the back so he gets lost. lol

 

Cops were everywhere that day... I'm suprised no one got busted.

 

^ You shoulda seen us on Rt 70 and Rt 40, they almost did get busted, 2 law breaking Z owners were stopped middle of Rt 40 revving up ready to run, when a cop on the other side of the road 30 feet away looked at us all. Luckily my GF saw the cop and yelled out NO NO STOP!! 2 Z owners were lucky, that could have been bad....

 

1 Z owner is gonna buy her a beer in payment!

 

Yeah, I heard about that. How did no one see him sooner? I can **** 30 feet.

 

Cuz we were all watching the 2 Z's revving up in anticipation of the a$$ kicking one of them was about to receive

 

who was about to get that *** kicking.

 

COUGH:Nowell:COUGH His car isnt running right though...

 

its a shame that cobra pussed out of the race i wanted to see a mustang go home with his tail between his legs.nowell he get it fixed and i think whatch out when he does.

 

That guy in the Cobra was a pole smoker, talks up his dyno #'s which I think were inflated considering he had stock headers(I think more like 460-480whp), and then backs out of a race and tries to get his cousin to drive, what a puss....

 

I talked to the other Z owner and he said he was going to get her a second beer

 

LOL damn, shes gonna have a good night on the boys sometime!

 

It was pretty funny about that Punkstang... how you gonna try to get someone else to race YOUR CAR. All it is to him is prolly a wanna-be dyno queen with no intentions of pushing it to the limits. He's scurred.

 

Nowell retune and get ready for the track this SAT!!!!!

 

Hell yea man, im headed out right now to do some tuning with the supra guys. No dyno, but we are going to be spending at least 4 hours tuning my car. I have faith since he tuned his own car. Ill keep you posted!

Oh and the NOS is almost done =)

 

If you dont have a WB how you gonna tune??

 

The wideband is going in tomorrow hopefully. I have taken a few days off work to get my car back together. I got the new guages in, and most of the nos setup wired.

As for the tuning, we knew we couldnt fine tune until I put in my WB, so we took a look at all the timing adjustments I had been messing with. Well, this is what we ended up doing.

First the timing I was tring was WAAAAY off, so we reloaded the stock maps that come from turboXS. Then we did some runs in 4th gear to watch the timing. Here is some of the output:

STOCK ECU:
5837 -17.8 4.52 103 90 00 15.65 +19.6 72.7 ECU. +0.0 4.56
5878 -17.8 4.58 103 90 00 15.47 +20.5 73.0 ECU. +0.0 4.56

As you can see as we get close to 6k rpm the ecu is still at +20 degrees of timing with +0.0 retard. So we went to the intake/exhaust map that turboXS sends with the utec.

INTAKE/EXHAUST:
5963 -17.8 4.54 103 90 00 16.05 +20.9 80.1 +21.4 -4.0 4.35
6038 -17.8 4.54 103 90 00 15.75 +20.4 78.9 +21.5 -4.0 4.33

Now we can see that the stock ecu would still be in the +20 timing range, but the utec has adjusted to +21.5. For some reason its pull 4 degrees. Why, I dont know?

Now we made an adjustment on what we though was advancing the timing by 2 degrees. We took the 4 the utec was adjusting and added 2 more to it. We came up with this:

HACKED INTAKE/EXHAUST:
5005 -17.9 4.31 103 80 00 14.92 +15.0 61.6 +20.3 -4.5 4.13
5027 -17.9 4.25 100 80 00 14.44 +14.9 60.1 +20.3 -4.6 4.11

First I know the RPM variances on the last one. The traffic on the 495 was picking up and I didnt get enough room to get all the way up to 6k rpm, but it gives you an idea. You can see where we adjusted, we are now at +14. However, there is still the -4.6 retard.

Maybe im just reading it wrong, or I should have added 6 instead of taken it away from the timing setup. I am going to give that a try later tonight probably.

Feel free to put your input in. I very well could be interpeting this all wrong. One thing I did notice is that after reloading the original maps the car felt a bit stronger. Especially on my 1-2 shift where I was bogging down on sunday. I donno, I guess we will get more info when the WB comes in, but something still doesn't seem right.
