Issues With Srt At Homestead Speedway, Florida After Racing
Wow, and yes, it's definitely harder on the car than a simple 1/4 run. Is it still the same IC pump as the original? More than likely looks like it for sure unless you have a boost leak some where. At least you enjoyed the day and what a heck of a Xmas present!

glad you and Ashley had a great time ,,i wish i could have gone with you but having had a colonoscopy yesterday , i din't think i should,, hope the car is ok and yes the strain that you put on a stock car on a nascar track is a lot that is why i drag race ,,the cost is way different any way when i see you guys tell me all about it. jim
If you're pushing it that hard and have the pulleys installed I wouldn't be surprised if you reached temp on the supercharger; putting it in limp mode. Having the larger Heat Exchanger would probably cure the issue.
When I was hitting mine HARD it went into limp mode VIOLENTLY and the ESP/BAS light came on and the limp. Limp reset with the temp dropping as the inlet air temp sensor was doing it all to me and thus the super cooler quest.
You could have gotten the IAT sensor gunked up, Brian Brave spoke to that issue. There is a lot of crap in the crankcase blowby stuff and thus the super separator was created , see below.
Others have tried to use paint air line dryers to clear the inlet of oil vapor but at the cost ofTERRIBLE RESTRICTION AND DIPSTICKS BLOWING OUT. The can shown is another creation that Needswings will be offering in 2009 to help that one.
I was able to do some of the design on these projects, ta DAA.


ENJOY, WOODY

now this I don't like to hear since I am gearing up to do the same...I quess I need to read up on this...I have ran her very hard, but not for a continued 20 min session...so, I quess we shall see...thanks for the info and I hope the car is fine RManderman...installing harnesses and new roll bars over the winter to pass prerace inspections...I may just talk myself out of it...and just drag race...
after Randy and i talked he may need a new sc and sc clutch ,,i think the bearings in the sc froze up.
do you have a datalogger so you can datalog your temps next time to see if you were overheating?
also, you can buy a quality oil catch can on ebay for around $10 that looks really nice and works as well as a $100 catch can.

Do you have the ability to check the inlet air temp thru the computer ????
If so what data logger do you have and how did you connect it to get this reading, thanks WOoDy

Not sure how they would handle the "core charge" when you ship them back a SC looks like yours?
