Re: 91 Galant VR4

I ran at Cedar Falls this weekend, It all came down to track prep, I knew what RPM I need to launch at to get the 60' and 1/2 shift where they need to be to get the 9 second pass. But the track had no prep, so it just spun with a little wheel hop. Then I tried lowering the launch RPM and tire pressure, I ended up with a 1.73 60', but it did not shift into 2nd, so it was a bad run.

My last pass of the day I upped the boost a hair, cooled the W/A down, lowered the tire pressure again and ran another low 10. 10.11@149mph, I was 2mph slower in the 1/8 vs my Rock falls run, so the traction in 1st/into 2nd was not there.

I looked over the logs and I could see the lack of traction, but I was happy to see my shifts averaged a .250 seconds, and I nailed the shift points with in 100rpm of 9500rpm on each run, my last run it got up to 9500rpm in 4th, so I may need to up the rev limiter a hair.

The day was cut short again, the radiator started to leak, so I cut it off to fight another day.
