My car had a lot of issues, mainly running pig rich. Moe took a look at the tune and saw that the driver side o2 was seeing air and causing the pcm to dump fuel. (I still owe him some beer!). He said there wasn't anything he could do and that is was probably a mechanical issue ie, header gasket, faulty o2, etc. It was safe to run though being rich. If any of you guys saw me in the staging lanes you'll remember that I kept revving the crap out of my motor to try to keep it from fouling up. It worked so-so. My best was a 10.78 at 125.55, had a few runs in the 10's and 2 runs just over 11, at 11.02 and 11.05. Still had a freakin blast, and I will be back next year to bring some pain to the Mod N/A class again!

Nope, brand new motor that had maybe 1 hour of run time on it. I will update my sig soon. My 350 would have run an 11.25-11.30 or so in that heat. It was brutal.
the heat was wicked brutal! yea joelster i remember waking by when u guys were tuning on the trailer in the parking lot of the hotel and heard Moe said it was reading lean and adding fuel. when that thing is dialed in its going to flyyyy esp in good weather.
it literally was triple digits almost all day

Here is a video my gf shot as I left the tech line. I was the 14th car through tech. We just lined up and the tech guys walked down. A lot of the cars aren't even lined up yet, but you can get an idea of how many showed up to play.

Here's a few more pics
This is the Mod P/A final, BIG CAT against Kline. BIG CAT's car is by far the loudest car that was at the shootout, lol. That thing just barked like no other.
Kline's car:
Kline busts a monster holeshot and BIG CAT tries to reel him in:
BIG CAT runs quicker but the win goes to Kline!

Awesome pics Joel! It was great to finally meet you in person.
FYI, I had similar problem last year. Tore my hair out trying to find it. PCM was throwing a lean condition on bank #2 but the plugs looked fouled. Turned out to be a bad plug wire on #8. Might be worth your time to ohm-out the wires and see if you have a bad one.
