Default Re: Datalogging IAT temps and C6 encounter

Ambient temp was 55-60 F. Under 90mph WOT my IAT's were like I said in the low 100's , but I found out tonight I was around 150 anything over 90mph WOT. I ran it up to 140mph on one run and peaked 153 , it took only a couple seconds to drop back below 100 after I let off and soon dropped to a cruising temp of 75 on the hwy. So I guess I was a bit wrong on my statement before because previously I had only tested to 90mph on the street.

I neeed to get a serial to usb so I can datalog my new wideband. Just eyeballing it I am running 11.0 then it ramps up to 12.0-12.2 at 80 mph and stays there. So I think I have the fuel for the Code 3 pulley mid pulley(on order), but the IATs might not be so good like I feared. Guess I need to work on getting my N20 setup or just race 1/8 mile. All this really has me thinking our superchargers are pretty much maxed from the factory and not very efficient nor the intercooler.

So sorry if I mislead anyone before. Regardless the car still pulls like a beast, enough to edge out a brand new C6 from a roll. We stopped at a gas station and talked for a minute after wards. He was pretty surprised. Nice older guy with a nice ride.
Based on the above if you want to run both pulleys the next step to address the high IAT's would be a water/methanol kit, you will be pushing the supercharger closer to the limit and this will probably be the only choice to combat the heat, other then NO2
