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?

Steve, I'm sitting this one out and watching. I've got two cars here with whacked out 02 readings...and both cars are fine at WOT for fuel. One has WB...and 9.0 to 1 at WOT. That`s why I asked the ECM question. Hoping for an easy fix.

The track will either be running a Pro or Sportsman tree. I haven't tried a Pro tree...and I don't think I want too.

My answer would be...no. You have to get to 'know' your engine. I have a friend down in NC that was an ATR engineer. He sent a leather bound journal to me several years ago. I keep notes on temperature/humidity/fueling/timing/boost for each run. When I hit the track all I have to do is look at the thermometer/barometer I have with me...and I can make my adjustments and be pretty close. When I make an all out assault like last Sunday...and things are getting borderline...t hen I consult with Steve for final recommendation s.

Jason, I don't recommend using a heavy set of valve springs like I do. 980's and 981's will do just fine. The basic premise of this exercise is to see how fast I can go on stock junk and Erics 5.7 chip. When I hear back from Joe, I'll post up the info.
