Chris, your MAF was working after the fuse swap but both O2's were still dead. Like Brian mentioned, leave the battery unhooked for a while to reset the fuel trims when you replace those O2s. After that's fixed I would recommend getting your car retuned; whether I do it or someone else. There's some crazy stuff in your tune and you have a lot of room for picking up power/drivability.

I say that because if there are major issues with your tune you could possibly damage or due more damage by running the car hard, that's all.

nah, just some 243 heads shouldnt mess anything up that bad. it was the o2s dying and blowing the fuse for the MAF that messed everything up. i mean, dont get me wrong, it needs a tune for sure.

Strange that the O2's were both lazy/dead. Running the car with blown HG's? Only other thing that really kills them is Race Gas.


As for two cars running on the street vice numbers on a dyno, I would say one or both is/are not behaving the same as it did on the dyno for what ever reason. The fact that the winner in this case had plain ol hard as bricks street tires says that his car was doing something right or the other car is something awful wrong. Figure a car length is .1 at the track, one up 50rwhp on the dyno should put that car 3 or more lengths out in front. A rough rule of thumb for cars that should be trapping around 118 or so.

Sounds like a window switch is not set correctly, late turn on could be why Kong could pull away. If everything else is equal. Guess turning a 9 inch is not hurting him too much. Then again he did get his pushrod issue fixed so maybe that is where his new found performance came from. Or he's hiding a bottle


So Kong when are you going to stop being a bully. This is the second time I've heard/seen you abuse other Fbody owners. Why don't you go pick on some silly slow Rustangs.

Or it could mean that dyno numbers and track or street performance arent quite the same.What about hp under the curve-torque-we just heard peak hp numbers.Also how about gear ratio,driving styles,weight of the vehicle and several other factors.So possibly there wasnt anything wrong with either car.Just my opinion.

Not trying to do it on purpose, just getting some practice in for the track rental.

Chris, your car was running fine when we ran last weekend. It was after we raced and you parked it and then drove home when it started to act up.... Granted you still need a tune bad.
