It was a Great Summer

What a summer in Victoria. At 5252 Motorsports' Tour de Rock Car show and dyno competition we hit 811 Hp.....not 1000 yet but we'll get there.

Blaine and his Pantera were in the media as Driver of the Week with Black Press and Blaine raced the car at Thunder in the Valley.  Thunder in the Valley was great fun and if Blaine hit third gear it would have been that much better.  There is a steep learning curve to driving the Beast.

The Pantera also made an appearance at the Torque Masters Auto Extravaganza!  Next summer will be better and we hope to be at even more events.  Keep an eye out for the Pantera who may be getting a "little Italian sister!"

Winter Fun in Victoria??

So the weather has been a bit crazy here on the Island and Blaine is enjoying it with the Pantera - it may need snow tires if this keeps up.

It's Still Alive - and KICKING!

The purple beast made its way to the shop this month with the intention of installing a boost control solenoid to up the boost.  With me it seems that jobs always get bigger than originally anticipated. While the car was in the shop I decided to re-tune the ECU in VE mode.  From past experience this tuning strategy with the Haltech ECU’s seems to result in better drive-ability  on cars equipped with overly large injectors.  After installing the boost control solenoid the tuning began.  After 4 hours or so of tuning it seemed like the car was hitting a rev limiter at 4500 RPM or so. Data logs confirmed that injector duty cycle was dropping down to 0% as would happen in a fuel cut situation. At this point tuning was halted until we could figure out what is going on. Stay tuned, 1000HP to come.
