Race Car parts!  Owners like to suffer!

Trying to keep this thing as simple as possible.
210lb/hr injectors installed, updated the tune, dropped the fuel pressure from 60 to 45psi and it fired right off and seems to be happy.

Sooner or later. 8.99

It may not go any faster with more boost. We will have to find out.

My parents suck at the moment and I don't know what to do with them 

[nocooler]

Drove the car around - fueling is a few percent off. Couple more 10 mile drives and I should have cruise, and part throttle mapped well enough to make an educated guess on how the WOT part of the fuel table will need to be changed.
The 210s seem good this far - they idle fine, and drive around good.

Got the idle fueling and timing dialed a little better - she rev's nice an crisp.
I ended up redoing the transmission lines, was still having some minor issues. Got rid of the coupling fittings so stuff isn't rigid mounted to the trans, everything was so tight, it was almost impossible to get a wrench on it. Need some more atf and then it needs to be driven, so I can fix it all over again

Always easy to recognize the voice of ex6

[nocooler]

That analogy went over my head….

[Steve Wood]

I think I meant experience? Lol

[nocooler]

I thought I was missing something 
Wife is telling me to just go find a trailer and buy it. Since it makes it 100% easier for me to race.
My dad sold the trailer he had promised to my brother and I. We even told him we’d pay fair market pricing. He’s choosing to be a dick at this point.

[Steve Wood]

That's too bad. A trailer will certainly make it easier

[nocooler]

So the lines aren't leaking but the trans is seeping at the front pump again.
I've come the conclusion that the Lokar dipstick is no where near to being accurate. The level was set running and it sat for a few days. Today I popped the tube out and stuck my finger in, didn't even get one knuckle in and hit fluid. No wonder this thing pukes fluid everywhere when it sits. I've got a new locking metal tube and real dipstick coming - I'll install it and calibrate it, and try again maybe with the correct fluid level my problems will disappear.

[Steve Wood]

Hope that is the problem!

Jeremy, grab a cheapass trailer like I had. Came from Indiana. Got it for 6 grand at zero percent interest at the time. I never worried about blowing the car up cuz I could shove it on the trailer and bring it home. If you only hit the track occasioanlly, then Uhaul is the hot ticket to rent a trailer. Trailer I had was 20 foot. The original tires were nylon. Only lasted a season. Keep an eye on that when buying.

As I figured the Lokar flexible dipstick was hitting the side of the pan wall and causing it to read incorrectly.
Fingers crossed the correct dipstick and tube takes care of my issues....
