I put a used MSD opti of Carlos's car which worked when removed, but the car had a high rpm miss on my car. I starting to take the car apart Fri after work and put it together yesterday morning. I did not drive it since it was raining. I have not had the car on the dyno since all the little changes, so if it goes well on the street tomorrow I think we will get it on the dyno for some fine tweaking. The track is hopefully sometime this weekend.

as much as I want to do the EFI Conn. setup I do not want to take the car apart

The rotor simply broke the plastic rivets since I did not rivet it being the new opti keys the pickup. I put a MSD cap/rotor on it now since I knew the opti itself was not the issue. I hope it works out.

Ah I see, can rearlly blame you there. I'm tired of taking my junk apart too.

I just figured since you had talked about the EFI connections set-up in the past, you'd go ahead with it if your opti was dead. But hell if all you need is a cap & rotor, I don't blame you at all for sticking with the opti for now.

yeh I even called Mike on it, but I just don't want to spend the money as all that happen was the rotor came off. I did not screw it as it was keyed, but now just put the MSD cap/rotor on and the car seems good. I might dyno it this afternoon.

I knew it wouldn't take long. LMK on the track. I might see if I can make it up.

GL on the dyno. Hopefully this one holds until the end of the year.

dyno went kinda well 446/401 UNLOCKED ..after doing a cap and rotor which I always suggest against it still had 2 little miss/hiccups at 6500-6700 and it got worse yesterday at the track

track was not working to well for me yesterday and had issues with traction, but with raising window switch to 3800 and only foot brake to 2000 I managed a tire shaking new best on the 200 shot and drove it back home

1.40
9.69
139.6


2 other passes as well
1.70
10.28
138.9

1.40
9.75
138.9

I need to sort out a few suspension things and get a new Opti on with riveted stock rotor. I will then hope for some 9.5x @ 140+ in a little better conditions.
