At times the crank sensor stops reading at high rpms. There maybe a wiring interferences issue. I'm using a MSD 10 plus and classic FAST system to control timing.

The car is really loud for a low compression small block.

Anything that can cause a issue with the crank signal? I imagine you have already looked into that stuff. I know signal issues have caused headache for many a car.

It was a burned cap and rotor. Will put it back on the dyno to fine tune and bring it back out this weekend.

I don't even know what the LS coils have but they don't use a cap and rotor so it is redundant. That is a reason I went to LS, screw a cap and rotor. If racecar I would say different since many use them but many don't. It is a extra "thing" I don't want to deal with and just a up side to leaving the older stuff in the past.

You don't have to like it. You can refer to the previous post before this one for more insight. Until then, I'll keep talking **** on a GM site about ford swapped anything, GEN II Chevy engines and anything else I feel like because it is how I am. I'm not here to be a support member for crap that I disagree with.

You girls really should not let my or anyone else's opinion bother you. It is an opinion and that is that. If we all agreed on everything, I would not even post except technical info. Leave the feelings for race to fave encounters when someone threatens you or disrespects your family or you directly.

oh, don't flatter yourself sister, your opinion doesn't bother me, you're just some random piece of **** driving junk, talking trash behind a keyboard that can't afford to play with the big boys, you truly mean nothing, if you bothered me, you'd know it!

Damn, I thought I was up front. How would he know it? How do you know he is a piece of ****? Just because someone doesn't choose to build $X car doesn't mean they can't. There is room for everyone in this hobby/money pit.

Size is nothing to do with it, I've just never been called a piece of **** to my face, so why not wonder if it would happen in real world conversation.

"You don't like someone else's build? Your a pice of ****!". Would make me
Chuckle I think.

Your honor, he called my car a piece of ****, so I defended my property by shooting him.

Yes it was. It was only making 19lbs of boost and 11mph slower. After the last pass it was discovered an o-ring on the intake tube was missing. I now know a good way to slow the car down. Lol!
