Talking Oh My God!

I finally got the fuel line issue resolved. Damn ATI line uses a -5 AN fitting! Anyway, so Linda & I went for a little test ride. Everything seemed to be pretty close. So I made a few tweaks & headed out to visit God (aka Ellis to us).

He looked at my log file, made a few minor adjustments & we went for a ride. All I can say is OH MY F-ING GOD!!! At only 5 psi this thing is a beast. We laid into it in 2nd around 40 shifted into 3rd and gave up trying to look at the fuel pressure gauge. It was slid a little to the left, came back to the right, and drifted around until I lifted. (on coming traffic & spinning the tires at 70+ is NOT a good combination).

The LTs were +6 at WOT. Ellis made another tweak & they are at +4 now. May need to tweak the regulator again. And get a valve cover breather. Anyway, I'll try to tweak it a little more & if all works out well, go dyno it Friday. And then Saturday....

Yes, what a relief! It certainly feels stronger. Now I know what everyone has been saying about boost is true. What a rush!!! And with the stall flashing as high as it does now, the power is there instantly. I can't wait to see what I gained....

So about your gauges Doug, since I KNOW you are deep into cleaning / prepping for the show, should we just try to do it at your place?

Too funny.....why yes I have. And Ellis said he wouldn't say anything either. Tell loud-mouth I also cleaned up more of the oil.
