Congrats. That's moving man.

Thanks so much Jeremy...means a lot coming from you. Always had a ton of respect for what you did with that yellow car.

Jason, I had a look at the file...and the high gear RPM's are really struggling.

Weld 'er up. Stop by your favorite exhaust shop and grab a pair of new studs and nuts.

Went back out today and pulled 4 numbers from low gear fueling and went a full 4 degrees over Erics low gear timing default setting. Cranked out a 6.72 at 104.67 on a 1.58 launch. A big thank you to Steve Wood for helping me over the years.

I think the converter is too loose and it's not hitting the tires as hard as it should. . That's an opinion and not a fact ☺

I'm always open to opinions...and any help is always greatly appreciated.

Did you use the numbers we talked about? Bit rich in low as we suspected but it was flying

I got scared with the low temps this morning...and I added 15% high gear fuel. High gear fuel also affects overall fueling...so I suspect that's why the low gear fueling is a little rich. Frost warning in effect tonite...so I don't know what to do for tomorrow.

Let's look at the short time. 2 weeks ago I launched around 4900 RPM...and it went 1.73. Today I boosted it up too quick...and it started pushing...and ended up with a 1.72 short time...but left at 4100 RPM. I had a look at a pic a friend of mine took of me launching earlier this year...and the rear didn't squat at all. I softened the rear QA1's up one notch this morning...thin king that the car needed some more weight transfer. Looking at the 800 RPM launch difference...a nd the identical short times...do you think if I had of boosted it up slower this morning...and launched at 4900...that the short time would have decreased with the shock adjustment?

What's the fuel pressure at the rail?
