I'm turboed again...Not sure what happened

[351wcoupe]

All I did was drive to the gas station I put in 4 gallons of 89 octane to dilute the last of the fuel from last week. Next thing you know the car started pulling good. It drizzled alittle today and I drove around with wet tires. I came across some dry pavement about 40mph in 3rd, eased the gas to the floor and it lit both tires up. I let off, had to wait a minute to stop laughing. roll into the gas easier and hit 4th. It still managed to spin the now dry tires on the dry pavement for about 2 seconds. so wow it might actually be running good now.

I told you, too much octane.

Nice! Now hook up that Volvo cooler.

If you do hook up the Volvo, will you have to mount the battery in the trunk? Didn't look like there was much room for the IC hose with that battery in the way.

 

[351wcoupe]

I'm considering that. We'll see.

 

[mr_woodster]

plenty of space, just gotta get the proper bends .... im using a saab 9000 fmic (wider than the volvo)...with a normal sized battery, you can move it to the back of the tray (towards the drivers seat) and it will provide enough space

 

[Stinger]

No need to move the battery with the volvo...

 

[rgosulliv]

yeah.. no need to but I'm doing it anyways for mine. personal preference i guess.

 

[bhuff30]

were you running 110 octane at the track the whole time?

 

[351wcoupe]

yeah but it felt sluggish on a test run before I loaded the car.
Ok here's the deal.....somehow......After driving it all day now the car runs incredible. Traction is gone and both wheels pull. It did that at the very first part of the turbo swap.
Now Its dry and hot here.
I was playing with it, taking off and I had to let twice after hitting 2nd. so its defintaely doing something better.

it's about to explode into flames if I had to guess.

anytime anything of mine actually works good to great I get worried because that's always right before it blows up in my face

 

[351wcoupe]

Is That like saying the best borderlines the worst.

and normally the best is never the best because a car can always run better. it's just the best to you because it was running so bad before. so the level of bestness is measured by each individualls own acomplishments(and I'm just talking out of my ass now)

I was going to say that is a very profound statement, until I finished reading it.
