Just a heads up,

I'm going to try to make the CFR TnT 9/30. Shooting for my 10.30's!

Hope to see a few of you out.

The FC not ready to go?

If not, bring the wife's car! That'd be my backup plan..

I'm still trying to find out why my car is running lean at the upper rpm's. I haven't had much time to work on it though. I'm changing the plugs soon and might get the injectors tested to see if they are partially clogged even though they only have a few hours of driving on them. Or if that doesn't work I'll put a 2nd wideband in to verify the 1st.

But regardless i think my car will trap around 140mph in this weather which requires reving the motor up to 7k in 4th gear which i don't really want to do until I forge it. so I think i'll just wait until next year to run.

Awful good opportunity to test the limits of that shortblock..

Makes the reasoning behind upgrading/forging a lot easier to pass by the wife!

I haven't followed your lean issue, but what is it actually running lean or just not igniiting the fuel? A/F ratio, Duty Cycle, Plug Gap, Boost? Good Luck.

thought about it, if I knew it would not trash the block i would push it until if fails and just rebuild it. but the aluminum blocks can only be bored .010 over. or there is always the chance a rod could just punch a hole right through block :)

there is no noticable misfire, not sure about the chances of small mis-fires that cause you to show lean but are not noticeable or audible. it seems to pull smooth and hard, just shows mid to high 13 afr's. you'd never know anything is wrong if I didn't log it. someone on the efilive forum told me how to log the pcm's misfire count so i will look at that soon.

I had an old batch of e85 really spook me out on the Dyno late last year. Leaned out something fierce under load. It was like November and I still had summer blend in the tank. Thought I'd be ok but wasn't.

Just a thought..

Bring it out! Friend if mine brought out his '85 Benz diesel to our last event and ran a blazing 21 second quarter. It was awesome.

where is the drama, suppose to pull an all nighter and get done just in time. looks good. any changes or just fine tuning and better air?

No real changes! Just back to the 28x10.5x15s slick and the cooler weather. I've never made a true cool weather fall pass so we'll see how it goes.

And I try to avoid the drama whenever possible!

Lol I know, I know..

I'm bringing along my 8 year old nephew amongst others and literally have no room to just drive it. Otherwise we all know I would! (Don't make me strap the 8 year old to the hood just to prove a point..!)

Last track trip of the year. Gotta make it count!

Sounds good guys. My friend Tad will also be making passes in my car. He's a pretty accomplished driver and thinks he'll put a couple/few tenths on me.

Honestly, just to set the bar for my car, I hope he does.
