Just wondering whos gong to be looking into what this winter. Fixes for bugs, planned mods, spending sprees, touch ups ect.
Heres what I want fixed for spring:
1. solution for brake problem, I want to hold more boost.
2. solution to my mph problem, the current hot idea in my small brain is to go to a T-400 with a switch pitch convertor. 4k stall at the line and 1.8k shortly after launch. Going for hardcore 60's and good mph both.
3. move air temp sensor from air filter to up pipe. I run LS1 maf so you can do this. I want to see what temps are at the throttle body during the run.
4. Pine wood derby type stuff. Making the car roll easier and straight as possible has to pay off some where doesnt it? front end component check and alignment, wheel bearing check and grease, brake drag stuff. Hopefully little dollars and mainly checking greasing and adjusting type stuff.
5. maybe move my MAF sensor to up pipe. Measuring the air closer to the motor should be closer to representing the amout of air going into the motor at that exact time shouldn't it? It will also change a pre turbo restiction to a post turbo restriction. When dealing with any kind of pump restrictions after the pump always hurts less than having it before the pump.
6. maybe check into having my exhaust manifolds and cross over pipe thermal coated(jet hot). Insulating pre turbo exhaust pipes is a proven old school technique. Guys with old turbo set ups always say how much thier lag went down when they wraped thier pre turbo exh pipes. My dad turbo charged a Honda gold wing and the bike ran much better after he wraped his pipes. If you keep the heat in the pipes then there should be less back pressure on the motor which should show up as HP. It should help keep thing under the hood a good bit cooler. Infact atleast on non turbo cars they guarntee a sizeable under hood temp drop when you have your headers coated.
What are the rest of you going to do? And if your from the south I dont want to hear no crap like "get a sun tan" If you say that I'll ship you an F'n truck load of snow in about a month or less.

. I should have left the damn 50's in it. Didn't a few people tell me that? O'well if I put my crankshaft on the ground it shouldn't be d/t a lack of fuel unless I really screw some thing up.
Looking at all those hot white Canadian women sun bathing
