I'm thinking I'll head up there soon. You guys say yesterday, and was posted on fri.

Does that mean they are doing TnT on thurs, and not fri now?

No test and tune is only on fridays. They announced last night they are revamping the "tuner" class and are competing in points now. Which makes it even more retarded because for 1) nobody builds a 4 cyl for bracket racing and 2) how many people like to run their street cars every friday night for points, very stupid IMO. Only thing going about that class is the last round of the night is heads up best out of 5.

And I put together a little vid of last night, nothing special. Couple srt4s, a pro-charged goat, m3, honda minivan, and Andrew's talon.

good video right there man......this is corey with the black srt that runs at the track....the track does need a little more prep this year def......I know I'm going through my share of problems since march racing at piedmont....I have the nde tcs and 2 step in my car and it was malfunctioning horribly this past friday night, thats why the car would seem to fall on its face or just basically go all to hell when the tcs was trying to retard the ignition to keep the wheelspin down, and not to mention frying up both lines coming from my mbc (one from heat and the other just tore I guess from the pressure)....I'll be back with perry this friday to try to get the car at 100% down the track, I won't be using the tcs and 2 step so I can hopefully not spin through most of 1st and 2nd or have the ignition go all to hell....to the guy with the talon, nasty ass ride man...holla at yall later

Thank ya . We all had traction issues. I need a dedicated track slick setup. I miss the old days were I could launch the hell out of it and it would stick and I'd click off consistent 1.6X's. First gear just blows all four over immediately.

I had horrible maf overrun on the last run. Basically when this happens your maf signal drops hard, which also drops fuel delivery, causing me to lean out drastically. I was seeing peaks of 15:1 a/f at the end of each gear. Luckily I had a 93/110 mix as no knock was shown. My end muffler had a bluish titanium color to it after that run .

If I can re-tune the car using fakemaf to where I trust it I might go again Friday.

Thought you were running AEM EMS Andrew? Are you using DSM link?
