sometimes my car feels strong and sometimes it does not.

for example, i ran my brothers dsm 3 times 2 of those 3 times i beat him by less than 3 and a half cars and the third time we ran i left him by a mile. what would cause my car to act like this?

my car has the following mods
buddy club stage 4 cams
buddy club cam gears
springs and retainers(buddy club)
car pistons
hondata s100
fuel pump
aem fuel rail
stage 3 clutch
8lbs flywheel

the car was dyno tined at 173.9 WHP with 17 in rims.

 

Can you actually feel it being slower? It could be his car its really hard to tell unless you can actually feel it.

 

could be the change in temperature as it gets later.haha

 

Maybe it's his car.

Car pistons. LMAO. How's it idle with them lumpy sumbitches in there?

 

maybe the driver

 

i felt the differnce too or maby its just me.

 

ambient temps matter as much if not more than anything else with tuning.
I'm betting that it runs great when it's one temp then sucks when it gets warmer or hotter.

Typical for a quick tune, one that needs to be updated.

 

probably the fact that its a dsm you ran haha. ran ok the first to and started crank walking the third time or something. probably to most unreliable car out there

 

Maybe its all in da mind dude

 

i think Relic1 is right, it might need a retune.

That actually made me LOL. Caught me totally off guard.

 

i meant to say CTR, lol. i think i figured it out, i am missing 2 bolts on the distributer and my ignition timing might be off. what do you guys think?

i checked the ignition timing and it was wayyy off. i fixed it and got a new fuel filter but the car still does not feel like i thought it would. the car did get a little faster and its a lot more responsive.
i guess the problem is that i got the car with all these mods and it was running like **** when i got it. i really dont know how fast or slow the car really is because it has no torque......at all.

 

the car still does not feel like it should. i cant find any shops that tune hondata s100. the shops are willing to do dyno pulls on my car. if they do dyno pulls will they be able to tell me what is wrong with the car?
