yea i raced, got kicked after the first run for my car "smoking" going down the track. I dunno I think I hurt a piston running pump gas for so long with this thing at 13.5 compression. Ran a 7.70 at 94.2 with a 2.01 60'. I was missing pretty bad up top, probably burned a plug wire or two, so I probably would have run at least 1 mph faster. Car's only running .75 lambda at WOT, not really tuned at all yet.

yeah 25% enrichment from lambda 1 is a little much for a NA car..... drop it down to 14% to 16%
