Busted7 first time at the track on new setup

Posting for him as he's computer challenged. He'll be on here soon enough to go over his setup.

Timeslip:


Congrats to Charlie! All this on the first time out on a new setup with a 'small' 62-1 and Haltech.

Absolutely. Getting ready to start a new job with a lot of travel anyway, should be plenty of STL trips.

Three runs and i get a shoe polish message on the window, car needs cage! Boost was spiking about 19 lbs. I need to get rid of cheap ebay manifold. Was also running 10.9 a/f on 98 octane. Full tank of gas and 10 mph head wind. I need to finish the car and be ready the next time i run. Thanks Any suggestions? AARP Racing.

So far i like the e6k and the low compression motor. T11 rotors cermet coated housings and rotors, three mill seals. Rx7 specialties built the motor and tunned by Steve Kan. Its working good well see how long. Thanks Charlie!

How about I build your backhalved RX7 instead of my Corolla.

Let me know.

I'm being serious.
