I know Bubba's ready to shoot that mustang with a 125 shot and would probably want to come along. Another one of our friends (Kent Boddie) has a GT 500 that is making over 600 to the tires and would probably also be up for a cruise to Red River.

I did some research on the check engine light that flashed last night and what i am gathering is when the check engine flashes then goes away it is a misfire, didnt sound or feel like a misfire to me... what do you think?

But yes i am ready to spray the 125

I think that the spray probably just temporarily freaked out your pcm. You have the timing retarded and the correct plugs. It felt like it was running perfect to me. I'd do a search in some mustang forums to see what you can find out but it felt too good to be much of a problem IMO.

Yes it ran great in my opinion also, i have done the digging and all i come up with is a misfire, so guess that means some more testing (spraying) is in order LOL

you may want to look at the plugs just as a precaution.

What's your AFR when you spray it? Stock fuel pump and injectors?

afr hasn't been checked by me yet and the tune is from Blow By Racing in florida for the nitrous. I would bet that it is a really safe tune for the bottle since it is an e-mail tune.

It's always a good idea to look at AFR when you spray.

Hey folks,

Some of us made it down to Gilliam for some runs last Saturday. We will plan on another outing in October when we may get some nice air.
