McNews is running 159whp and 154wtq with similar mods as yours. I would suggest giving Ray McNew a call and discuss your fuel problems with him. He may be able to help you solve this without having to part out your current set up. Ray is very good at replying to e-mails.

I would have expected over 150 with those mods. I am sure the rich condition is your biggest problem. Maybe your maf, chip and injectors aren't playing nice. I would be curious to see what would happen to your a/f ratio with the stock maf and injectors. You shouldn't need the bigger injectors until ...

Researching tires and cams. The Falken Aziens will be shot by late spring or early summer. They stick pretty good but I sure didn't get many miles out of those things. I'm guessing 10 to 12k will be it. I want to try something different, maybe the P-Zero Asimmetrico's. I want a tire that sticks good...

It shouldn't be too bad. Lucky for you the zetec is a none interference engine which means no bent valves or busted pistons. All they should have to do is find TDC on cylinder 1, set the cams using a cam alignment tool and install the belt. Not much different than installing cam gears. An hours wort...

Just a few more tid bits. There were only two domestics at this event. My Focus (kind of a domestic) and a late 80's early 90's Mustang. The Mustang set the fast lap of the day. This thing was a beast. 335-40 17's on all four corners, fender flares to cover the rubber, racing suspension, hugh brakes...

The AARRF track day was great fun as usual. About 50 cars showed up so a pretty big crowd. I knocked 4 seconds off my best lap from last year. Tires and bolt ons make for a noticeable improvement in track performance. By the end of the day a lot of people had gone home and you could run back to back...

You are correct on trying to find your limits. If you go beyond the limit in searching for that limit, that's bad. A person needs to stop at a point where you are still driving comfortably. These are our daily drivers and they need to make it home after an event. You are also correct in your percept...

It's all about driving within the limits of your vehicle but even more importantly, within your limits as a driver. How do you find those limits? You start out at 70% and work your way up to maybe 90%. As you approach your limit mistakes become very noticable, back off. If your running at 100% and y...

Going to AARRF's open track day?
Is anybody else going to the last AARRF track day of the season? I'm going. It's at the MN. Highway Safety Center in St. Cloud on Sunday 9-14. I'm not sure if they are offering driver certification at this event so if you haven't driven one of these before, I don't think you'll beable to drive at th...
