175K on the car now and I lost the 3rd gear synchro towards the beginning of the year... a month or so back 4th started spitting out of gear. Last week I was WOT in 4th briefly and it wouldn't come out of gear without force so I started babying it knowing the end was near. Friday on the way to work I went around someone going 45 on the highway (easy pass... may have hit 60 max going around) and it wouldn't come out of gear again. I could barely move it side to side sitting 'nuetral'... limped it home from work and yanked it. I have 2500 to get a clutch, remote bleeder and rebuild done so just weighing my options now.

haha yeah highs are 40s/50s right now and dipping to the 20s at night... I was dreading the hell out of this (all I have is a car port and some coveralls). Talked to a buddy of mine and he offered me his garage... couldn't say no.

I had to go pick up some prescriptions earlier, so I decided to take the laptop and do a couple 3rd gear pulls.

Looks like timing is between 20.5-25.75 advance depending on the rpm. 25.75 degrees is shown @5700rpm tapering to 25.5 at 6500rpm. Stays mostly in the 22.5-23 range until 5500 or so.

Air Fuel is between .79-.82 between 3500-5700rpm, dipping to .73 @5700.
I believe you multiply this value by 14.7 to get afr.

Looks like it is going rich because my fuel pumps are maxing @ 5500rpm(may be time for BAP, or larger pumps) Maybe it is maxing out because of spark advance..maybe wouldn't max @ lower timing? Not sure.

I also just added the JLT127mm cai setup. and... wow.. looks like I am close to maxing that out too. Max sensor flow rate in lb/hr is 86.69, and I am reaching that right @ 6200 rpm where I usually shift. Maybe is is that way in the tune.. I don't know.

I doubt the injector duty cycle is an issue(I can't log that as far as I can see).. the 72lb injectors I just put in should support over 800rwhp.

Thats lambda. And you would be correct. And that seems like wayyyyy too much timing!

His tunes have always been on the high timing side.. but they have worked well so far. I get zero knock, and a/f is good.. so I assume its doing what it should.

Well not to be the black cloud... but just because youre not getting an KR, doesnt mean you arent getting any detonation. You can control how sensitive the knock sensors are. How much boost are you running?

Wouldn't you go lean if you run out of pump?

I run a BAP with 72's.
