Mason Dixon Dragway - Test-n-Tune - Saturday, June 25th!

[green_eyed_lady]

Well, I sent an email to Yahoo Help, but I have not gotten any reply yet. I have several free websites, but none of them support avi format. I could use yousendit, but only a few people could download before it would shut down for bandwidth abuse. I also found a site which hosts avi vids for free, but the max size is 5M and only one of the vids is that small. Here is the link to that site. It's svxfiles' last run, I think.

I'll let everyone know when you can access my Yahoo briefcase again. In the meantime, I could send them to Earthworm and have him host them, but it will have to wait until I'm back at work tomorrow (broadband connection).

I've been upside-down in my drivers seat so many times it took me a while to figure out why that pic is funny.

[Earthworm]

Sure I'll do it.

In fact I think I should put together a "video locker" for the SVXipedia.

[Subafreak]

Sure........everyone runs there SVX's at THIS meet.





Tom is that BLING I see on the valve covers? Nice.

[TomsSVX]

That was from the 1st swap Since then I do bling up my valve covers on all my engines So don't think you were the 1st

Tom(still the fastest)

I re-calculated the altimeter setting and then the new density altitude - and the value is now 2,202ft (previously 2,200ft)... So there's no significant change at all - our times would actually be marginally better!

I'm feeling better by the post! Crank in the .1 sec due to the almost full tank of gas and I'm practically at R&T's stated 1/4 mile time for a brand new '92 SVX

[TomsSVX]

well if we are talkin .1 sec then i did pretty well for horrible 60' times. I am hoping to hit the strip again once I get my rear diff refurbished I am pretty sure nothing else but axles are left to break( I know I will break them too ). I cannot stop watching the vid of me just smoking Chike and taking a car length just after our 60' mark... hehehe sorry i am enjoying this too much

[green_eyed_lady]

I'm waiting for feedback from the "new guy", Ben -- I don't think his membership has been approved yet, or if he has even signed up. It was an unexpected pleasure to have one more SVX there.


BTW, I got a reply from Yahoo; they're "looking into the problem" and "hope to have it resolved soon."

I'll keep you posted.

I believe this is our mystery guest.

I still haven't been able to see that vid. Did see the one Diana posted on the other site of Svxfiles' last run.

Bill,

I was thinking of Mark's 'magic MAF box' last night, and it could probably work well to lean out our afr's in open-loop. However, my question is this: Does the ECU only use the MAF voltage to calculate the amount of fuel add, or is it used to control other parameters such as timing adavance???

-Chike

[TomsSVX]

The ECU uses a combination of the MAFs the Knock sensors the and the 02 sensors to control the timing/fuel combo. The timing is controled by the crank/cam sensors. Well, thats all i got
