A good day for some, not for others....
What a beautiful day to race! Started at 50*, went to 75* by 3pm, low humidity with a slight tailwind!
First run of the day was a [email protected] on a very soft launch (1.82-60ft). Caltracs and shocks were helping, and the 01 OS TCM worked very well with the tweaks in the ECM tune! Thanks again, Tony and Justin...trans shifted great with your advice and help! I was thinking, "This could be it.."
BUT no...........I spent the rest of the day in the stands videoing.
Second run was a 13.14. Truck sputtered all the way down the track....
Third run was even worse. Truck literally shut itself off when I put my foot to the floor at the start. I had to restart it, and putt putt down the track to the early turnout.
Engine lopes badly, has knocking that comes and goes on a regular basis, starts hard, and has no power above 2500rpm...in fact, you cant accelerate hardly at all until you get her past 50mph, youve gotta slowly get to speed.
I ran 23700-24200 psi rail on the first run, then rail went completely hayware the second, bouncing from 15000 to 22000 and all points in between. Third was even worse. Does it on the big tune and stock, cold or warm. On the way home, I lugged the engine a bit accidentally, and couldnt get above 2000rpm....then I see white smoke out the tailpipe (passenger mirror).
Im thinking injectors. Checked balance rates, and have 1 over 5.0, 1 over 4.0, and 2 over 3.5. Maybe the FPR finally gave up the ghost, or the Rail valve popped open and stayed that way, but I dont really know how to check.
Brand new filter put on last night. No leaks and fuel was coming out the bleed when I checked.
Of all the freaking times for the injectors to take a dump. Just my dang luck. :rofl: Hmmm...think the dealer will mind the Caltracs? :rofl:
But theres a bright side to all this, too............Darius ran a [email protected]!!!! Mike Moore ran an 11.69@115 on a stock bottom end, dual cp3, A4000 combo! So while I had a crappy day, my friends had good ones, which made it all worth while!
