More problems Well, I went to the track to make some shakedown passes yesterday. I launched it easy and rolled into it, at about 5800 RPM it died, and popped out the exhaust. It restarted and I coasted to an 18.44 @ 69 
I went to the road course at the track and played with it, It did fine as long as it was spinning the tires. So I figured withthe torque of the motor it was pulling on a wire or pinching one, I looked at everything and found no problems. I pulled the starter off and looked there, no problems.
I figured I would make another hit and see what happens (maybe it was a bug) same thing. So I loaded it on the trailer and started drinking beer
Anyone ever came across a problem like this? I havent had time to datalog it. Im pretty sure its loosing ignition because fuel pressure stays around 55 psig at WOT.
It dosent stumble, miss, or anything like that, IT DIES, and will immediately restart.
Its raining here now, but as soon as it clears up I will troubleshoot it. Anyone have any ideas?
