I don't know Jene. That is cutting it pretty close, however it is nice to see on the slip.

In time trials yes, but in Eliminations .01-'s are fine with me, and will generally get the job done.

But congrats! I've had a few (but we don't get a trophy for it, LOL) and every time I shake my head 'cause that is just too close for my comfort zone.

Keep havin' fun!!

Not trying to be a snot.. but you and i seem to have this miscommunication a lot... not sure why...then it seems like you get pissy... which i can understand frustration.. but give it a few trys before you get frustrated...

from what I took it you said try no filter a few times.. not just one race. try it a test n tunes??? and then i explained why that wouldnt work well to get true times... so what am i missing?

we are not talking about the z26. we are talking about the corsica which is the only car i race and it is my daily driver. the z26 sits in the garage staying nice and pretty.


:runsies:
You seem to be worried about overall time TOO MUCH. That's my point. When your testing something and you KNOW your slower ET wise in a test and tune then fine so be it, who cares if your slower than normal then due to heat. At least you'll still have a comparison number. You can say I was 2 tenths slower than normal on my normal setup, but then with the open filter I was only 1tenth slower... granted yes your slower but quicker than your normal setup... See my point?

If your only reason why not testing it at a Test and Tune is because your already 2 tenths slower then that's not a viable answer. Also who says you cant let your car cool down between runs? You don't have to hit every run during the test and tune.

Its like me when I go... I need to start saying screw it to my overall ET and concentrate on my 60' time... once I get that squared away with my tune and fueling down there, THEN I can do some runs at full force and get some full 1/4 times, which then I would have to work on top end fueling and dial that in... I can't just go and shoot for fastest since I haven't done any tune runs, and really its just a waste of time and also disappointing at times.
