Sh0velMan's Track Car Build

Sh0velMan

Built some fang-fed ducts to feed air to my intakes and replaced my secondary radiator cap with a 30 PSI unit.

When I was doing some driving over the weekend, I got the impression that the engine was still pulling hard when I shut it down @ 7500, so I raised my limiter to 8100 (fuel cut, resume @ 7900) and took her for a drive with logging on.

Holy moly, the sound that car makes @ 8000 RPM will make a man out of you. Feels like it pulls hard to redline, the dyno will tell on Saturday.

Logs indicate that the radiator and oil coolers are doing their jobs splendidly, so that's nice. Intake air temps went down to where I expect them to be for this weather, so the ducts are working as well.

I'm pretty sure I'm shooting flames out of the back of the car when I downshift. Wish someone could follow me with a camera... heh

Did you do the motorsports oil pump upgrade?

No, but I don't plan on making a habit of spinning it that high. My built in 'up shift' instinct kicks in about 7400 or so, I have to really be focusing to make myself spin higher than that. It's mostly for the dyno that I wanna spin it that high, afterwards I'll probably drop it back to 7500.
