Well ive been going through every senario through my head. i disconnected the exhaust, cause the muffler is right by the fuel line and the pressure got better. as you can see i the pic below the fuel pressure regulator is mounted on the shock tower and is covered in wet rags. that helped too, so that tells me that the regulator is getting hot where it is mounted. move regulator and that should solve that issue. ok on the dieing part. it died twice today and both times i didnt shut the ign off and disconnected the coil wire to see if it had spark, and it didnt. i wait a few minutes and it works fine. the msd box gets pretty hot and its pretty old. so looks like a new Digital 6 for me and some smaller mufflers to give the fuel line some room.

Hope you get it figured out. I know that can be annoying. Had to idle up since removing the 2 inch spacer for the nitrous plate. Evidently one needs adjustable lower control arms in these cars as well, my uppers are, but I am a half turn in on the pass side of the anti roll bar and it still pulls left on launch with the nitrous on a half bottle. Full bottle and 1k PSI and spun to a 1.5 60 instead of a 1.3-1.4 like it was. I am new to the fox suspension.

Yup, was gonna say, leave it.

You should have me covered. My suspension and engine tune needs attention. I cannot even make a pass without dickey dooin all over the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift. And I'm all out of cash right now. Need to at least get my window switch fixed and hope that there is some bolts holes slotted I can repair that will fix this rear tracking. Then I can work on gettin it to hook with everything I got thrown at it.

Not too bad for the maiden voyage. Best 60' was a 1.38

Wire it to a 12V switch, then wire in an interrupter relay activated by the brake lights.

havent updated this in a while, i have been busy going out of town for work. while out of town i got clicky on the mouse happy and spent a few pennies. Real street cars have power steering right? If i keep this car long enough the a/c will be eventually hooked back up too.
