I use Autolite 23's gapped to 0.035".  This is also with a hot wired CCCI.  Good so far to 23 psig and methanol.

So has the driveshaft been removed and re-balanced?

Damn it,  Steve.  Now I have to buy one and check it out.

Could be your a tie rod or the bushing on the upper control arm near the down pipe that fails due to heat.

CFM can actually cause confusion as most don't understand the difference between ACFM (actual cubic feet per minute) which is adjusted to actual temperature and pressure and SCFM (standard cubic feet per minute) which is adjusted to standard temperature and pressure.  These are volumetric air flow units compared to lbs/hr which is a mass flow unit.

It is hard to beat what is already proven to work. I don't think that a faster spool up time will help me any as I am already traction limited when the boost quickly comes up to 25 psi.  I am intrigued however with the dual scroll turbos and newer compressor wheels...

Reminds me I need to change my filter even though I don't want to do it.

Looks like a nice upgrade.  I just realized today that my Siemens Low Z injectors are obsolete and no longer made.  That's too bad since everything is finally working so well together...

Razor's Alky kit was the best thing I ever did, after everything else was working correctly.  Still on first pump for over 6 years, using only M1 methanol.  It really made my whole combo come alive.

Yes, 1978 Pontiac Trans AM that I traded along with some cash for my T-Type.

Probably a loose ground wire.
