Air cleaners aren't bad, you just have to compensate and usually have to lean it a tad over the chassis dyno tune. Which is what it seems he did. But rich=safe.
Thanx guys! I am really happy with the numbers and the feel of the car. That flat torque curve feels really good during acceleration!
One of the things I thought about this weekend during the USCA event is that I may consider a rear gear change. As crazy as this sounds, I end up going through 1st and 2nd gears so quickly during acceleration that I don't feel I get to use the full power. By that I mean, if I go full throttle, I have to shift quickly and it can be hard to keep traction. Not a bad problem to have, but I'm also thinking it might help me on some of the autocross courses to have a little more speed on the top of 1st gear. Something to consider...
Here are videos from most of my GG Autocross runs. I haven't had time to process the ones from the USCA event yet. I have been having some camera-coordination troubles and didn't capture everything I wanted to... :\
I didn't manage to capture either of my 'offs' with the Garmin, but I went off at the end of the long straight (too much speed into the first turn) and I spun coming out of the second 180* turn at the opposite end of the track. The course was 3rd and 4th gears for me, downshifting into each 180*, then carrying 4th shortly after exiting. I could have run mostly in third, but I was still being a little gentle on the new engine.
I also improved my line quite a bit in session 5 when I had an instructor, but the battery in the Garmin was dead by then. It's lucky for Steve also, or I would have had a great shot of him sitting in turn 1 starring at us coming at him since he went off.
