I expect 5-10hp. I saw a huge change in Chris Kearns' car. Remember that I have EV1 580CC injectors now which atomize for **** and make the car barely idle. I have to err for fatness on the AFR so sometimes the car reads as fat as 11.3:1, sometimes 13.1 due to shitty spray and fuel on the walls combine with a lack of TPS enrichment.

161whp is the absolute limit of what I can make on a Dynojet and stay in that class, I did 157whp with the Barrett Jackson tune using the conversion from the Mustang Dyno, which is what I intend to do because I have to come up with ~$1500 for 9" 6ULs and Hoosiers. 162whp means I go to TTC. However, I can run my current set-up and a max of 179hp in TTC.

I am clearly an electrical engineer:
Is there any reason not to take every accessory ground wire, ECU ground wire, coils, injectors, CKP, CMP, and LC-1 ground wires and solder them to one big ring connector attached to the EGR-port-bolt on the back of the intake plenum? This will be my 3rd rewire on this car. I want one, badass, clean harness for this car because after ~20-years, the factory harness has turned to ****. The insuraltion turns to powder when you touch it and the copper wire is black throughout.

Separate ground for timing/sensors for less noise on signal?
In for answer.

B. Good luck making that monster glob solder joint and having it stay together
iii: It would be better electrically than putting each wire on its own ring terminal and putting them all on 1 stud.
