Re: I finally took it to the track

are all teh track days that boring out there?

I'm not sure. This sunday was the Import face off and I was the the only domestic besides a yellow bolt on mustang which ran a 14.7. We have nothing other than Subaru's and EVO's, there's damn many of those I swear they can rival the popluation of moths!.. But they do put up the best times at this altitude which is why everybody has them.

I think the car needs some general maintenance- plugs/wires/o2/fuel filter/air filter/etc.

I wouldn't doubt it. According to everybody however its running in tip top shape. My muffler is rooted out. I plan on installing a cold air intake soon and hopefully getting that thing replaced. I know I'm due for new Tires and all those things you've just listed at 130k and i'm currently at 123k. Maybe a winter project for me. :)

I wish I had a track that not many people went to...

Its still a 30minute drive from Colorado Springs to Pueblo and I live down on the southern side of town. Not bad considering its $15 for friday night test and tune which is much cheaper than going out to the club's and getting a beer. Its definately worth it though I do plan on returning in the spring.

17.6@78 At 4900' (elevation for Pueblo Raceway) and 100* F corrects to a sea level 15.13 @ 89. The density altitude he was running in was close to 9000'.

Not bad, kinda threw me because I thought MPH usually stayed up, even if ET was slower.

Wow that's one reason to move out of Colorado Springs. Do you need another?

I've got the list from The women are horrible out here to the roads are so bad only Ken Block wouldn't find anything wrong with the roads in this place to the bad winter storms we get.

Trust me I'm searching new possiblities as we speak. I'm thinking of southern cal or Tennessee.

Re: I finally took it to the track

I also forgot to mention I was running on basic 85 Gas when i should have been running on 87. Not sure if that makes a difference.:rolleyes:

Re: I finally took it to the track

85?? Where did you get that ****, Sunoco? I haven't seen 85 SOLD anywhere in years.....

If you or anyone else is running 85 in your car, lemme take a piss in your gas tank, and see if the car runs right.

Colorado and other high altitude areas get to have the ****ty grades of gas. Not sure why they can't source better.

The cylinder pressure is so much lower at altitude motors don't need the higher octane like they do at sea level. The lower octane fuel is also cheaper to make.
