383 lt issue
383 lt issue Well guys I had the car at the track first time last night.... Had an issue, long storey short it's a built 383 etc... Starting out spraying 150, car has been tuned etc... I had to upgrade injectors but still havnt had the chance to swap pumps but here is what happened, car was missing on the kit pretty gd and at the top of 2nd it popped pretty good, so after that the car has a pretty good miss when u drive it but if it's idling it seems ok and revs ok only misses pretty bad while driving.... I pulled plugs and they were super lean (hazed in a green tint).... What would u guys think the problem is.... Btw oil psi and temp still stays great!!!! Any helpful info would be great....
as of today i went ahead and pulled heads, and everything looked good.. no blown head gasket, pistons, valves and all look good....
IM STUMPED......................

your not using a projected tip plug are you? what was your bottle pressure..and the condtions outside..colder it is and outside the more fuel you need and if your pc or fuel pump cant handle the load then well you spit pop and sputter from being to lean.
like was already said how much timing did you pull? is it a wet or dry kit

1. did the plugs look ok other than "lean"?
2. why did you pull the heads? did you have low compression on a couple cylinders?
sounds to me like you have a burned plug wire or something like that to miss under a load. after a nitrous pass, my plugs look brand spankin new without a tint of anything on them.
first thing i would have done in your shoes is pull plugs, make sure they were fine, and then a quick compression test to make sure everything was ok in the cylinders. after that i would look at plug wires or something else. maybe a bum'd up maf from a backfire (if it backfired through the intake)

Verdad Gallardo as far as the opti, make sure your dowel pin isnt too long on the cam.
well This time the opti like melted, as in last time the opti came apart... so it broke two diff ways... Ive heard wrong cam bolts will cause optis to do some issues, but i will try n get it figured out...... anyone else had major problems with keeping optis alive in the car?
