that is way better than what you started with
congrats on making proper power.

I'd probably run it a wee bit more rich, that's pretty lean for pump gas.

My log showed ~11.3 most of the run and the operator said expect .5-.7 leaner from tail sniffer. Saw no knock, but I can richen it up if I need to. I figured low 11s were sufficient for safety.

Now to actually make the fuel system safe and fix my oil leaks.

Real talk. So, 90* in dyno bay and I saw 95-120* IATs on that run. If I run a fresh air pipe to the snail and go back to the track do you think I can pull 120 mph out of it?

Not much to report. Made a cold air intake which seems to not rob much power. Going back to the track Friday to see what more power does and then I'll likely retire this car from quarter mile duty.

Well I went back to the drag strip to test and tune. I ran close to my best et and trap right off the trailer. Car #0192

Best ET was 11.584@120.06 and best trap was 120.77 mph.

Thanks! Super stoked!

I wonder what would happen if I wasn't maxing out my map sensor and injectors...

There is a vid on my youtube I posted here of a third gear pull. I have no updates since the track visit.

Amusingly, I have also come full circle and rebuilt my n/a car for track duty. This car will likely be pieced out and sold soon. I have only driven it once since going to the track and that was to move it to our new house the day we closed.

Anyone seen this before? Apparently my v8r mounts can't take turbo power...
