Looks like the heat, humidity and t-storms are going to leave us just in time for Friday. I haven't been out in what feels like a month so I'm definitely going tomorrow. Who's in?

Stock computer. From what Ive heard from a few tuners as long as I can keep the boost at no higher than 10psi I should be fine.

Even if you do keep it to 10 psi which without restrictor plates or a ported waste gate could be difficult with an open exhaust, you will still be flowing more air at 10 psi then you did previously. This could lead to a lean condition.

I am using restrictor plates and have a wideband in the car to monitor the afr readings. I will bore the secondaries out to 1300cc if I really need to. My main goal is to stay at 9-10psi which should be easy with the plates and my electronic boost controler set up.

Not gonna make it this time, or the next or the next, or even the next, but hopefully we can do something come October???? Enjoy the gatherings fellas, and be sure to tell all of those women that I "will" be back.

Guys,
AllSports was great fun. We should make it a regular thang, about 8:30 so we can grab more than two runs. Hadn't been in a while, forgot how much fun it is.

Yea, that was fun. If we go more often I'll have to renew my membership again. What we should do is plan (monthly?) winter races because they have a lot of 2-for-1 specials during the off-season and we're all stir crazy from not driving our cars anyway.

Good call on that one, its not expensive and its a lot of fun. I am down for it. I would honestly go to the Town Center but driving the FC up there with no exhaust is such a hassle.

I'd be game for some races at All Sports, probably need to renew my membership, too. Probably should put "races" in quotes because I was so slow last time I was there, too busy sliding.

Haven't been over for a while, I think Beltway traffic coming around from MD has soured me on it somewhat. That being said, Chick-Fil-A and go karts is a pretty compelling combo.

@Matt - That does sound fun for the off season, too.
