  • Cheap tricks and hints needed

    I'm going to the track tommorow and i'm running my 3.4 vs. my buds 3.8 convertable. I bought octane booster and dry ice to cool off the fuel lines and intake. I also removed the spare. Are there any other tips you guys know to help me out? My mods are listed.

    take all the weight you can out or off your car. seats, sway bars, only race on a 1/4 tank of gas

      Air your tires down to 22 PSI as a start, and go down in air as needed, but not below 18 PSI.

      You could remove your air filter, and pull your serpentine belt off for a single run. But your engine better be cool before you make your run (160 to 180) and then shut down quick.

      If Autozone sells a belt (you'd have to measure and then see what they have) to bypass your power steering, A/C, and alterntor to limit you down to just your crank and waterpump pulley's. It might be worth buying a small belt for race night.

      Octane booster may not do much in of itself. Chances are you would be better off to go with a quarter tank of a race gas like VP (for a street based engine)

      Most important - Have fun!!!
