Just when I post in a thread that my car does not miss it starts missing bad /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif. Before I went to the track I changed the plugs and had them gaped to 27. Did a few pulls on the way to the track and all was good. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Now once I got to the track and made my first pass its was missing like crazy /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif. Thinking it was rich miss, I turned up the boost from 20 to 22 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif. No go on that, car was missing really bad still. So I pull the plugs and check the gap. WTF 3 of them were at 30+ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif and 1 was at 27. So I knock them all down to 25, thinking it should clean every thing up. Nope it was still missing but not as bad. I ended up running a 11.60@123 on that pass. So on the next pass, I think maybe I will try turning down the boost and see if that will help. Nope same sh*t but still ended up running a 11.62@124 on 21psi.
I am thinking that the cold was really f***ing with the car but also liking it(mph). It was in the mid 50s tonight and today when I was doing some pulls it was in the upper 60s. I think tonight was the coldest temps I have ever ran the car in. Most of the time its in the upper 70s to low 80s. Maybe e85 in cold weather just needs a much smaller gap. Say around 22.
Oh well I had fun and the car is still running at the end up the year. Time to put it away for its winter hibernation.
