Ap1 Bogging down in 4th high speed corner
So I'm at Atlanta Motorsports Park this weeken for a track day, and the car is acting up. Coming on to the front straight it's a super long left handed corner I shift from third to fourth, keep accelerating to close to 8k and the car will fall flat on its face, I transition to a right hander and it's just going nowhere. Once I get straightened out it picks up and acts right again. No other issues anywhere on track. No CEL
Ap1 AEM intake, exhaust, valve springs and retainers. Been on three other tracks and never had this issue. Oil is full. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Two common issues with tracking these cars is fuel starvation and oil starvation in high speed corners on very fast tracks, I can't recall exactly but one corner direction is worse than the other - high speed left hand corner maybe ?. It is either fuel starvation or loss of oil pressure causing it to fall out of vtec. You can try running with more fuel in the tank 3/4 to full and see if it helps solve the problem. If it turns out to be oil starvation a baffled oil pan might help. My money is on fuel starvation though. There have been some threads on this in the past.
Cool. Yeah I may try a full tank, and throwing another half quart of oil in it and see what happens next session. It is an extremely long left hander. Like from 6500 in second, all he way to 8-8500 in 4th all while turning left.
Yup that is definitely the condition that affect this car. Maybe keep it to a quarter of a quart oil over, not sure if half a quart would be too much. More fuel should solve the issue.
