I am very sorry. I cannot help from laughing.


Ok.

Was it the same engine and car as yours?

These are a few things that you have to look at in the race.

1) How does his car sounds
2) Did he do any work to it
3) What tires he have or chassis setup (suspension and so on)
4) How good a drive he is in launching and so on.
5) A little few factor added in light launching rev, clutch release and so many other light high important factors.

For your mods.

You have not specified any gauges output in your statement which would be need.

Right now, your exhaut is a little to big for no mods done on the engine. A dyno would help you to tune your exhaust system.

You did not mention your header. (maybe did not change)

Port??? Is your engine ported?

Right now from what you stated, you are setup for highflow. But have the fuel system setup for that? If you running stock ecu with no piggy backs, you are will most probably lose, which you did.

My advice to you is to either buy the Motec4 or 48 or Autronics SM or SM2 for fuel and other management params you will need.

Do not feel bad. Use this experience as a gauge.

Next time, please send in what your (fuel pressure, A/F ratio, Exhaust and engine temp. guages) records.

It would really help detailed people to properly analysis you problem.

So, a lot of questions to be answer with a lot of answers, but right now, you need to provide the answers first.

Good luck
