hey Jim, did anything happen to your motor. I guess you can PM me if you want. Heard that something happened to it. Not sure if it was all rumor or anything.

i made it thru drag week without too much trouble. i did overheat it on the last run due to malfunctioning efans. on the way home and since drag week have been prety hard on parts. i have been trying to run 9's and have been pushing it hard.

on the way home i let kyle drive it for awhile and he tried to do a burn out in a rest area parking lot.



i got that fixed and then hit the track. this time i tried to leave the nitorus on the entire run. about 30 feet out this happened.





now fast forward a couple of weeks and i have a new super duper driveshaft in there and i hit the track again. this time i make a couple of runs turning it up each time. then i decide to go for it and hit it with 20psi and a 100shot the entire run. it didn't like that so much.

yep... suspicions are correct. Hope all goes well with the new motor jim. Live and learn.

Hope you can now fine tune it to really smack around some records.

Ouch, those are some nice pics you go there. How did that CMotorsports setup work you for you?

I'm going 408 real soon, they were at the top of my list. What did you run for heads on that car?

the motor is kicking ***. i am sure it was a tuning problem that messed things up. my wideband was around 12/1 a/f ratio. i thought i put more fuel into it than that but i guess not. then you have the infamous #7 cylinder that seems to get more air than the others, thats the one that had the problems. i will be more carefull next time and keep my fueling in the lower 11's. i might even step u to a single plain intake to take care of the lean cylinder problem.

that screwed uphead there is an afr225 .

Thanks so much for the info Jim! What intake manifold are you running? I'll probably end up going Fast 90.
