Took the RL to the track last night

[01SS05RL]

Went to the 1/4 mi. last night. I wasn't pleased, but would've posted if I got good times, so will post the bad too.

First of all, since I did my intake and unplugged the computer, it's been stalling occasionally.
1st. pass- left good, 2.227 60' went to shift into 2nd and the car died! Wouldn't even jumpstart itself by letting the clutch out. Had to restart w/key.
Started it and finished the run-17.632@89.33.
2nd. pass- wheel hop bad! stalled again. Gave up on that run as I was pissed!
3rd. pass(plugged the boost bypass line back on, and disconnected my datalogger in case 1 of them was the culprit) Shifted into 2nd @6000 to be sure I wasn't hitting revlimiter.
Ran: 60'-2.277-wheel hop bad again
1/8th-9.874@74.23
1/4 - 15.133@93.65
Better! The car stayed running at least!
4th pass- left better(less weel hop/spin)
60'-2.335
1/8th-9.790@74.52
1/4 - 15.031@95.12
That was it. I was really hoping to do better, but I need to get a reflash as it seems to be screwy since I disconnected the computer. My datalogger was showing my LTFT's to be way off on the way down there.

post your times in the official times list, practice makes perfect though, you'll get better

and i bet the problem was having the boost bypass line plugged, it's there for a reason

Yah it obviously was. I dont like to screw around with the computer except for getting a whole new one. But yah cool cool. Let's get those down in the 14's next time and earn some real respect.

You have to unplug the line form the boost control selenoid to the wastegate........not the line from the wastegate to the S/C.

It all gets better w/time good times for 1st run. my second time back to the track i was hitting Mid 14's and somtimes a 15 flat w/hop but im mostly hitting 14'5s constant.

Is there a fuse for it? Might sound like a good idea.
