You running a dry shot? I’m running a wet plate system but am strongly considering going to a Holley dominator setup and switching to a two stage dry setup to push for more control and more juice.

Yes. I am pretty sure I would have burned several motors by now if it wasn't for Holley dry set up. I seem to miss every tune up on the fuel side. Now I just tell Holley the afr and let it figure it out then adjust my fuel. I've ran out of fuel. Put to big n2o jet in, ran out of injectors, ran out of pump ect ect. Haven't lost a motor yet. Just set up some safteys and it's pretty forgiving.

What size shots have you been using?
My thoughts is if I switch to two dry shots, I'll use one 250-300 to get through the 60, then from about 6500 on to 7500 shift, add in another 150-200. I feel like I'll likely need to adjust the cam for this as well. I also got a few ideas on getting car down closer to 2710-2720 race weight. ( switching to carbon fiber driveshaft from moly, lithium battery maybe removing alternator, and switch front end over to tubular. Also considering going to radials to help 60s) Big picture goal is go some 4.9x.
Otherwise its turbo time (complete rebuild at this point) but I don't want to make the switch till I can say I really did all I could on bottle.

Ouch brother! Have you got a chance to scope that hole or do a compression check? Hope she’s alright.
You run pump e85? Have you tested it and what plugs?
I run -9s and ignite red. I did use pump up to a 200 shot but I needing more comfort in my life Lol
Sorry missed your comment, I appreciate it Sir!

Pump E 85 tested to E90.
Plugs were -8s.
Put in a set of -9 and pulled it down to 13 overall timing and sent it. Pulled an 80' long wheelie but went thru the TC at the 330'. Plugs looked ok. There is a couple hot ones I need to pull timing out of 2 holes.
So the theory of pulling no timing/running hot plugs is BS DO NOT follow that method. I can guess the end results..
