Well today was the first time in a long time I didn't have to run a PAX class to have competitors.
I was given a DC header to test against the header I'm making and I hate to say this but the DC header is a dog below 4k rpm's. I was seeing some top speeds way higher than what I would normally see but when the engine dropped below 3.5k it was rough the car just didn't want to move. I lost class by 3/10ths (racer excuse - I have been sick and had some pretty severe vertigo which makes going around corners interesting) but the car still performed awesome, even though it was a dog down low the power gain up top sort of made up for it, so I had lots of tail out action and I was drifting around some of the corners because I could get the car going fast enough before the corners for liftoff oversteer to occur. I didn't bother taking a camera this time since I figured my results would have been pretty useless since I'm still recovering from a inner ear issue. Still had a great time though I'm loving the car more and more with these custom shocks and new tires. |
