Yea I still have stock manifolds and I can hear the ticking of what sounds like an exhaust leak. Would it really throw my times off that much???

I'll try datalogging it and see if I am getting a lot of knock. I have a MadZ28 tune and I thought he turned down the sensitivity on the knock sensor.

In that case pay attention to track temp as when the temp on the track falls and especially as it comes close to the dew point traction will get bad.

Traction is not a problem at all. Cutting identical 60'. As far as a tune up the only things I haven't done recently are coil, O2s, and opti.

No I still don't have a clue what it is. I'm probably gonna data log it when I get home and see if anything is out of the ordinary. I'll let you know.

I took and data logged my car but I don't see anything jumping out at me. Would someone else mind taking a look at it??? I'll e-mail it to whoever wants to see it. Thanks in advance.
