MeagSquirt Update Ellis / Ryan,
I finally got the power filter installed today (on the power wire by the PCM). It still has the hickup when you blip the throttle. The battery in my laptop died so the software wasn't running by then, so I don't know if it still resets.
I can say the a/f is just about perfect at idle & it starts right up & idles perfectly. And that hesitation is gone too.
Hopefully when I get back from Florida next week I'll have time to play with it. THings have been nuts at work.....

You should stop by & take a gander Bill. It has a pretty nice "live" interface where you can tweak things on the fly. It's amazing how quick Ryan & Ellis got the idle fixed. And it is SD, so it should work fine on the 71.

I think Mark should keep his car at full weight. How many race cars out there can run 10 Sec 1/4 miles with a full weight?

Hopefully I can get this clutch thing worked out and have me some 10 second time slips this upcoming season.
