I also posted this in the race tech section.....thought I would give the general one a try.


So, Just had the first race of the year and it went like hell. The car runs well for about two laps and then looses a bit of power. Feels like it drops maybe 15 or 20 horsepower. Anyone have any idea about this. It is extreamly frustrating to pass 9 cars on the start (two wheels off in the grass down the straightaround corner one), pull out a 4 second lead only to get passed all back but one. It feels stong for about two laps or so, then power tappers off. Then when it cools off after a qualifying or practice, it is fine for two laps again. I also noticed it seems to bog a bit under high load corners. maybe that has something to do with it, I dont know.

Any help would be greatly apperciated cause I am pretty frustrated about this one. thanks everyone!

 

Heat soak?

 

Are your AFRs good still through the entirety of the race?

 

NA? but yea abolutly heat soak, you may need to go big radiator, El waterpump, evans coolant? and or methonol injection.

what are your oil temps getting to?

 

i run the biggest afco radiator on the market, coolant never goes above 200 even on a 90 degree day at road america, and oil is steady at 230. Thanks guys, this is starting to get somewhere, thanks a ton!!!
