GPG '99 At the Track
OK, my first time at a track was at GPG '99, so try
to hold your laughter down to a low roar when reading my times. I'll post
additional info/times later. After running at KC I knew that something was
wrong with my car. Here's what I attribute to my crappy times:
 |
AutoTap detected constant misfires on multiple plugs (Bad
plugs/wires) - Have since installed new plugs/wires. |
|
Dirty K&N Filter (don't know how it was breathing?) -
Have since cleaned it. |
|
Running 91 Octane (91 octane was the only thing I could
find, they were out of 104 at the track, and it usually gets 93!) - Won't
make that mistake again! |
|
Didn't take the pressure of the tires down - Will next time. |
|
Also didn't use the list of things you SHOULD do at the
track below. I compiled this list after my terrible times to help
others out. Next time I'll follow my own advice! |
Current Engine Mods at time of run:
|
3.5" TEP Pulley |
|
7" K&N |
| 180 Degree Stat |
| Re-programmed PCM |

Track Tips:
Prep:
|
Stock Tires: front@24 PSI, rear @45 PSI. |
|
Pull fuse #28 (ABS/TCS). |
|
Remove IAT. |
|
Keep hood open in pits. |
|
Ice Supercharger between runs. |
|
Run gas tank as empty as possible, and add 2-3 gallons of
100-104 octane at the track (Ideal to average out to 97-98 octane). |
|
Empty Trunk. |
|
Spring blocks on rear springs. |
|
Remove air filter, add ducting to fender or headlight
opening. |
Staging:
|
Turn off all accessories. |
|
Turn TCS off. |
|
Turn Perf Shift On. |
|
Shifter in 2nd. |
|
Dry hop tires to clean them (short 1 second burnout). |
|
Brake torque engine to 2000 rpm. |
|
Watch for 2nd yellow light to go off, then let off the brake
(personal preference). |
Launch:
|
Let off the brake and give it about half gas to start, and
then open it up. This will keep your wheel spin minimal. |
|
Leave it in 2nd until right before the trap, then shift into
3rd. |
