I won't be racing, but I may go there to watch and hang out.
BTW.... I saw your car at noon. Your brave parking in the middle of the lot over there. I usually try to get a spot in the far corner...
Door dingers are bad here at IP. It's like people don't know how to get out of a car properly.
Change of plans... I'll be going out for sure now... and even possibly racing.
Be there with the car too... wish me luck, and hopefully I won't snap an axle!

****... absolute ****.
First pass... 180*F... knocked so bad it shot me into LOM.
Second pass... same thing.
Third pass... my own stupidity on lunching.
Fourth pass (the expensive one).... Nice launch, tires grabbed nice... but the clutch sure didn't. Managed to limp it home. I think it's finally time for the Exedy.

Meh... no worries.
About the temps... 2.8 pulley, hot ass day, black car... not exactly the best recipe.
I'm going to hard wire in a few switches to manually turn on the fans and IC pump with the car off. That along with a shield to direct the heat under the car, should help keep the temps down next time.

What cooling mods do you have so far? And what would you recommend?

Cooling mods installed?
Lol... unfortunately I haven't installed any of them yet (have a dual pass and HE in the shop). I keep holding out for when I either do my build up, or install that new manifold. Too bad both are at least 2 months away still.

Yeah... pretty bad. It's slipping even from a roll.
I'll try Anomalous' 'save the clutch' technique and see it I can pull some more life out of it. Needless to say, no more racing this year.

So I'm new to this forum. I have 06 Ion Redline. Gm stage two kit is getting installed on monday, also have k&n CAI. I was told by Jason at speedtech about some guy in town who does computer tuning on all the 2.0 s/c cobalts and such. Any one have an idea as to who this is and how i could get in contact with them. Thanks
