Well, I got the car running the day before the shootout, so tuning and breaking in the motor were now out the window. I spent the better part of sat. night partying and trying to get the 2 stage boost set up figured out. No beans there either, fast forward to Sun.

I figured out 5 minutes before time trials I had the vac lines all wrong, so I reset them and take a guess on the boost setting. With all the issues, no tune and the inability to do so BC my logger didn’t want to work, and an ignition issue under boost due to either shitty wires, used plugs, lack of ground-or a combination there of, the car ran crappy, BUT…

The miss under boost was selective-in a gear or 2, and then the other 2 were good. I will let you see what I am seeing

Pass A-

R/t-.506
60-2.01
330-5.51
1/8th -8.29@90.1mph (bad miss in 2nd gear, almost aborted run)
1000ft-10.3
1/4mile-12..08@129.2mph

4th gear held 28psi-no miss-holy shit it was moving. Picked up nearly 40mhp in the back half.

Pass B.-turned boost down to 23psi-re-gaped plugs to try and get rid of miss fire.

R/t. .201 (pro tree oo)
60-1.96
330-5.20
1/8th -7.78@99mph (no miss at all-23psi-dead nuts with 10.3’s Talon..)
1000-9.98
¼-11.803@125mph

About to pass the fruit and banana-shift 3rd and rbrbrbbrbrb fruit and banana missing again, missing into 4th and then cleaned up in the end.

Other runs were more of the same shitty crap. So the car ran poppy, but I am excited by the writing on the wall of what the car will do when I can make a clean miss free pass. Do the math (first half B with back half A). Should be interesting.

I was up there, checking out your car, trying to find you to introduce myself, but I never saw you. I saw the first pass.

We left about 3:30 or so.

I didn't take my Colt up. It's got some strange closed loop to open loop blending issues and feels like fuel cut, but I haven't logged yet to try to tune it out. I was going to try to log and tune Saturday, but I spent all night Friday doing the partying thing and slept 'til I had to work and then did the Saturday night partying thing and barely made it to the shootout to begin with.

Anyway, I realize those aren't the results you were looking for, but they are promising. Good luck with tuning and keep us informed.

Yeah I saw both of those passes. I could hear it breaking up and hoped it would have run a little better but maybe next time. The quick 16 is a tough class, especially for colts. An auto is probably the only way to go in that class, considering how well the autos did this year, even though a manual won, the autos still ruled the class.
