Default RUNNING really rich after hard launch

ran my car at the track last night, and i got CRAZY wheel hop.... It knocked my header off of my resonator (on w/ clamps ) and i was running open header down the rest of the track. Now the idle is really sketchy (REALLY LOW 500) and the car is running really rich. Plugs r black, smells like gasoline, wasted 1/4 tank on 20 miles... its running like absolute ****

Im running p28 w/ a basemap if that matters

my setup: jdm h22a, no balance shafts, i/h/e/clutch/flywhee/ zex 75 shot dry

if the o2 is fubar'd might as well get an o2 simulator for a replacement.
never gotta worry about an o2 sensor again after buying a simulator.

what are you doing to compensate for that 75 dry shot your running?? u should consider using a wet shot.

maybe your ecu is overcompensating cause its recognizing the nitrous, so its injecting extra fuel?

p.s. what was your time??

p.s.s. I dont know why people get so much wheel hop. are you just dumping the clutch off the line? i normally get NO wheel hop what-so-ever.

u need to stage that nitrous or put in an rpm activated solenoid,that's WAAAAY too many traction issues at launch man.

and bolt your header up properly next time

i;m surprised you managed to mess up all that from wheel hop, when there's a really quick fix to wheel hop which you can engage during the launch. let off the gas

ok first of all, i did not spray nitrous that run.


-i have a msd window switch,i just gotta get a relay and finish wiring it in...


-i retarded the timing, and i'm running bkr7es plugs.

-I usually never have wheel hop, but the NRG engine damper fucked mad **** up... I ran a 2.1 60 foot that run.

the wheel hop is from good grip cold tires, spinning way to fast to get a good hold. Stop jaming the gas off the line and maybe you can clean up your take off and lower your 1/4 mile and 60' times.

the object in draging is to not spin your tires off the launch.
you wanna do a burn out go in a parking lot.

but save the racing for the track, where peeling out isn't the impressive goal to be obtained!
