First time at the track and man am i depressed

Re: First time at the track and man am i depressed

he cut 2.2's his first time out, thats not bad at all for street tires. like other have said, that trap is really low, something isnt right. i trap at 90 with just bolt ons and 3.23 gears and crappy launches.

you'd shocked at what a tune will do for you, more so sense you have a cam. i have no clue why you'd show lean on cylinder one.

do you have stock injectors? FMU? bigger fuel pump? give us more detail about your set-up. personally id get the car tuned first.

Not just cylider one, sorry i didn't make myself clear, Bank one.
so thats cylinders 1,3,5 are running lean.

Bingo...this is all anyone has to read to figure out what the problem is. Aftermarket cams need tuning...mild tuning will make it more liveable, extensive tuning will get you your money's worth. Also, your fueling may be the culprit. What grade gas are you using? what size injectors? what type of fuel pump?

The whole fuel system is still stock and i run 93 only from BP
Planning on getting a tune as soon as i can just havent had the money for a while. Finally getting some cash to work with. Gonna get a full dyno tune

Thanks for for all your help so far guys! :)

Head gasket? Problem with the fuel rail? O2 sensor?

Those are the 3 things that come to mind for me if the whole bank is running wrong.

Now that i think about it i think i remember the car throwing a o2 sensor heater curcit below thershhold code. That could explain the running lean. That sensor could be going bad correct?

It's possible. I'd look into replacing the sensor.

Ya i am gonna make sure i replace that sensor before i go to get it tuned.
everything else is just stock. and as far as i know nothing is damaged, would fuel system cleaner help perhaps?

Re: First time at the track and man am i depressed

yea you need a tune, cam= tune.
I ran a 15.1 with basicly a full exhaust and an intake and a slipping tranny
if your only hitting 80s in the 1/4 something is wrong. You should be hitting around 89-92 in the 1/4

before you get the dyno tune, at least get some LS1 (24# I think) injectors.

will i need to splice wires to install them or does someone make an "adapter"?

no, you have to find the right year. I did the swap and it was plug-and-play

EDIT: nevermind...your car has multitec-II connections, so those won't work

if i use the fuel injector adapters that ZZP makes i will be able to run those injectors

yea, that should make things work. Dunno what all is included in their injector connectors, but if they advertise that it will make it work, then give it a shot

Re: First time at the track and man am i depressed

I'm running some 24#er's that have the multec II connectors. I think they
came off of a newer trailblazer . Not 100% sure because I bought them
from a member on the other site. You'll need a tune if you use different
injectors.

I have the gt2 cam btw, and these injectors flow more than enough.

You need headers too.


*EDIT* They are from the 4.2L trailblazer.

*EDITx2* 99.9% sure its these. You could always email the seller
about the connector style. They include some other crap if you win
the auction but $100+ s&h isn't bad at all.
