Almost cost me

[T- Type Tim]

Figured I'd take the car out for a quick spin to get some wings. Dumped 2 gallons of 112 in it and took off.


Car was running a little lazy but didn't really get concerned as it's about 20 degrees warmer since the last drive.

Ate some wings figured the freeway on ramp is a good place to hold it open for a few seconds.

On the way to the on ramp I set the boost to 22 #. Make a right turn onto the freeway and hit it from about 5 mph. Lays down at least 30 ft of rubber on the concrete hits the asphalt transition , spins about another 5 ft hooks up and pulls.

Stayed in it for an 1/8 th mile
Felt pretty strong


Checked the scan master 10.5 degrees of knock.

Then it hits me. I had the battery disconnected when I installed a new set of cooling fans andI didn't adjust my fuel and timing settings. Needless to say its a little lean on the top end.

Check your settings

Yup!
Been there, done that. Not that much KR though. Luckily my chip default is close to my tune settings. Best to recheck stuff every now and then.

Thanks for sharing. You may have saved an engine.

That's what's so great about my new SD2 chip!!! I had the battery out of the car all winter, and never lost a single setting. The powerlogger saves it all in flash so when I started her up this spring, everything was as I left it in the fall!!

Does the gen -2 retain setting when the battery is disconnected
