Racing this weekend, we have struggled for 2 years with our tuneup, could not get the car down the track. The last couple months I had taken the car apart and found alt of issues. Showed up with high hopes but ended q1 scratching my head, on q2 warmup, we lost the dash and half of data logger due to a bad cable, missed that round but fired it for a warm up and test a thought I had. In reviewing data and overlaying data, I found something I had missed. We changed up the configuration of fuel system and went to bed for night. Woke up and woke up realizing we had an ignition mapping issue that needed correcting. I stage for q3 sounds and feels good, but the car pulled me through lights then the car falls on face , back in pits we realize a boost line had fallen off 4 seconds before I released the clutch. Back to puts for another adjustment.
preparing for q4 was adjusting brake lever, increasing air gap on clutch. We go up and qualify #2 not impressive numbers but after reviewing data, we are in familiar territory with a tune we can work with. Tune up is done, got to check valves in morning, change plugs.
