I'm sure I wont be putting that kind of timing in this thing, I really appreciate the tuning advice and the procedure to do so. I'd love to see a 5 something myself. No real reason for it but anybody that has raced just cant leave it alone. It's being built for power tour and to drive anywhere type of a truck , again thanks so much for all the input. Mark

Make nice easy consistent launches and watch MPH ignoring ET until you get it dialed in.

Tuning that way is always safe and if the engine wants 28* then it will be clearly seen in the MPH/plugs. (chances are it won't)
The fuel is e85 and I think right now the AFR is 11.1-11.2 at WOT through out the entire run. I will try it as you say, the tracks and weather here are pretty much done for the year but there is a lot to do on this thing, Thanks again . Mark

Another newbie question, What is the limits of the stock l33 camshaft? It seems about 5400 rpm for about 3 seconds it somewhat stops pulling or just tapers off noticeably. I have a tick stage 2 turbo cam but was wanting to see what we could do with the stock cam. I know I really need to get this data logged to know what exactly is going on. It may be fuel but was wondering about the cam. Thanks Mark

Plenty of spring then. Sounds like something in the tune to me. Def get that data log going should pull past there easy. Do you have the auto tune enabled?
