" Chain Reaction " of Track Upgrades

[PhillipM]

Matt,

It was cool shootin the stuff with you in Sumerset KY. We ended up plugging a fuel filter and taking the fuel pump out on our LS7. Bummer. Oh well. Wish I could help you with the ETC, have you tried LS1Tech?

So after all the upgrades this winter I finally made it back to my home track. The car feels neutral in turns right now. There is still more in the car, I just need the time to tune the suspension ( stiffen up the sway-bars and shocks to see how she reacts ) and engine fault code problems. Here are some pics a friend took on Saturday.

She still has some lean, which I'm hoping to even out. As I pushed the car later in the day, I was getting a wash board effect as I was running around the corner I'm entering in the second pic.





The fuel vent system I fabricated over the winter was still allowing some fuel to vent out when full. While I had the tank out I added an 90* AN elbow on the tank and bent up a line to effectively put a loop in the path to the reservoir and overboard filter. Prior to this I would smell fuel when it vented and or have it leak out. The original setup had a brass fitting pointed straight toward the front of the car. After wailing on her at the track with a full tank, I have not experienced any odor or venting to the ground. ( fingers crossed, I think it worked )

Here is a pic of what I added:

Yes, on the street tires. I may try and bring along the race tires. The wife wont be driving down, I can barely handle that length drive in the car.

Kudos to you for flogging such a badass car around the road course! Some day I hope to do the same.
