they look really good to me....the longer I play with these things, the more I believe that Lawrence Conley was right...raise the compression, lower the timing and crank the boost up....

Steve...can a 3.8 block...with 4 steel main caps/ARP hardware...sto ck rods/ARP hardware...sto ck std crank...and a set of Earls higher compression pistons withstand some 9.90 blasts?

do you have a part number?     year make model anything?

No...but you can walk into any parts place and ask...and the parts guy will be able to cross reference it to each vehicle it was available on.

Walk into your friendly GM dealer and ask for a Z06...but you'll need the 3 to 5 pin connector from FT. I have the setup on my car.

Stupid question perhaps...but have you compared short times with a 9" slick to a 10.5"? I currently have 9" slicks on these Ultralites...b ut I have a pair of 10.5's. Think I should mount 'em up and give 'em a whirl next spring? Possibly help my short times?

The run on the 2nd video looked pretty clean. Best short time today? What gear do you do your burnout in?

Jeremy, I saw Bison post to one of the TIA guys that the front end was coming down too fast and it was unloading the back tires. So...the front end needs to come up as quick as possible...and then lower gradually to keep good weight transfer to the rear tires.

Looked at one of my runs from a couple of weeks back. PE starts at 72 gs/sec...2625 RPM's sitting on the footbrake. 02 sensor is merely along for the ride.

Steve...thanks for contacting Eric...this is cool stuff.

So at 10 PSI boost and up...fueling is dictated by whatever number I put into parameter 1 (high gear fuel)...or default if I don't adjust it. The 02 sensor is merely reading the exhaust at this point?

Which is cell 12? I gotta fire up my laptop from the car with PL on it.

normally, I would say exhaust leak before the sensor

Now..that makes sense. Would idle BLM's be out of whack too? I believe both cars were a tad rich...and I have a PL file on one I could double check.

I've got new Densos in each car. One has Reds double pumper and the other has a new 255 LPH pump...both are hotwired. WOT voltage is good in each car...and grounds on PS head are fine. Fuel pressure is rising with both for each pound of boost. No KR present in PL logs. IDC is fine in both cars as well. Low 02 readings I'm seeing make no sense.

forgot to take pics - they are on the car now. We'll see how they do tomorrow. Should be nice cold air and low DA.


Just going to run N/A.

Keep us posted! Jeremy...are those single or double adjustables?
