Boosted Coupe Autox: Twin Fountains 4/7/12

[TypeSL2]

Here's the newest video of my car at the local autox. It is at a new to me course. I have never run there before, but I am hooked. After my first flub, I learned the course pretty quickly and am anxious to get back out there. Hopefully I will be able to run that same course on May 19. I will definitely be filming that one because I really want to see how I can improve my times. I was 3 seconds off of the closest person in my class. I can make the time up, but ran out of runs due to car troubles at the start of the afternoon session.

Ohhhh yeah...I see plenty of spots where the new settings will help your lap times.

That's what I am thinking man. This next autox is at a different track, but the one after that is back here. I can't wait. I am psyched about Sunday. I want to see how these settings help me out. That VW and Cavy are killing me.

Looks like a pretty fun venue, odd to run right next to grass huh hahaha.

If I'm ever in the area and there's an event I hope you want a co-driver.

[TypeSL2]

I would love to have you co-drive it man. Weird, I know, but I have actually dreamt about it. Seriously though, no homo. Well...maybe a little. Lol

Well, ran the car this weekend, and holy shit! My car has never been so fast! On the down side, I am pretty sure I broke something. Not sure what it was at the moment. After viewing my datalog, it could be anything from supercharger to lifter. I have a nasty rattle that I can't quite pinpoint. Datalog showed 19psi though. Went and checked out vortech's website and supposedly this supercharger is only supposed to max out at 14. Hopefully I didn't cook the SC.

I'm assuming that the put an upper limit on the supercharger due to the use of a cast compressor wheel. Can you get a billet wheel upgrade for it? Or use a larger SC pulley?

[TypeSL2]

I am gonna have to upsize the pulley.
