Yeah that was fun to watch... so what exactly was happening w/ Jeff's car? Meth was not kicking in at the right spot or something?

Man, I"m exhausted but it was definitely worth all the effort.

There will be a dyno #'s thread posted at some point today, I need to go through everyone's data and upload the sheets.
Just wanted to thank everyone that tuned into the stream, glad you guys had fun!

Jedi did not have the highest NA horsepower... that illustrious title goes to Charles Ray Hill with his mildly-ported, non-NOS pull of 212 rwhp! On the juice it was only 239, but that's because Ray said he's got the NOS nozzle 4 sizes too large. Basically, when the NOS is spraying, it's running too rich again.

Jeff thinks his car was giving up past 6200 because the spark plugs are "burnt off" again. He replaces them every month or so right now. His water/methanol fuse was practically flooding motor when it was on, so he shut that off then adjusted his AFR to run safe in the cool dense coastal CA air. His 302 rwhp is impressive because, 1- the power was still climbing when the spark gave up, and 2- it was at 6200 or so RPM, when the power peak's near 8600! He's still the big dog in the yard. I think 340 or 350 might be a realistic peak number eventually for his car.

I hope this helps...

Long and fun day at SR Motorcars ... really good to see both apocolpyse31 and Konig do well with their new turbo setups --- damn, they where loud

Gotta thank Mazdamaniac, the BHR gang, and Steve at SR Motorcars for a successful event.

I think he does have the RX7 plugs. the Water/ Meth was a challenge (to say the least). He was teling us that when he goes to fill up the car, he'll turn it back on and find that it's been spraying W/M the whole time he was filling up.

Sounds like the controller is cooked and he'll need to replace it.
303 on 2 spark plugs is one HELL of a pull though. I really thought he could put down an easy 350 but for safety reasons (no W/M and bad plugs) he decided against pushing the car too much.

tried reattaching the button but the rubber boot is detached and the white plastic clip that holds it on is cracked.
oh well, chatting with Dell support now, they're most likely going to ship me a new one!

The keyboard should pop out with a ribbon attached. Just unplug and replace.
