Ron, What regulator are you running? Alot of folks have had issues with aermototive regulators when the vacuum reference line is hooked up. I, and many others, do not use the reference line and just tune it for a constant fuel pressure.

I dont know details of your setup, but i think most have trouble with them on FI setups

What the hell Jerry! I had some issue's also , but after I installed a new altenator and charged my new battery up for a few minute's and cleaned up some ground wire connection's and new o2 sensor's,with new plug's she seem's to be running pretty good. I need some new plug wire's also, so I guess I will stop by summit in the morning on the way down!

Good Luck Chris and Ron. Keep them between the rails. Chris...Don't even think about breaking. You still have to come to "Cruisin' The Coast".

Wow is my car a PIG 3870 with me in it. Traction on Nitto's at the track is....aaahhh...not good. Best I could manage was a 12.30 @ 119. All and all (and I'm certainly no drag racer) I thought the track with slick. Had a good time though. Thanks to all who put this together!!

The stock rearend and a 6 speed had more to do with it than the tires.

Yep, he was on Nittos. Maybe, one of these days, he'll put his 9" rearend in there and run some real tires.
