My car went really rich on me for some reason at the track last weekend and started bumbling on the top end too. It was sputtering on the big end and felt like someone tapping the back of my seat with a hammer lol. Sound familiar?

Mine was only 10.5:1 afr, normally run 11.5:1, and I was running nitrous.

We made....Err Brian made a handful of hits last night. We definitely worked out a few bugs, made some great progress. With the new setup the fastest 60' was in the high 1.4x range. First clean hit to the 60' was 1.37, added some power and slowed to a 1.38, changed the suspension with the same tuneup and dropped to a 1.34. Brian finally got the car to spin and he is definitely on the right path of going 4.85-95s to the 1/8.
