So the nightly report:
I'll start off by saying that I'm sure many of you read this for comedic relief. Glad I could could be of use. Just want to say that I am learning and if you have a better way of doing it, feel free to post it. That's what we are here for.
To those of you who read this to learn, thanks, I'm learning too, and hopefully you learn what not to do from me.
With that said, I need to wrap the heat shield I have around my starter and run a signal wire from the alternator to the battery. Battery isn't getting enough juice in in the 18' cable run to the trunk.
As far as the performance, I set the timing by feel tonight, I have no idea where it is at since I don't own a timing light yet and didn't have my dad's. But wherever it is, it is near the 20* that I had set last time. Either way, it makes waste of the 275 BFG drag radials at will. To the point where it is boring, and I've driven it 3 times. Yeah, its cool to have power to blow the tires off, but I want it to pin me in the seat and not stop until I let up. I think with some more tweaking in the rear
suspension I will have it where I want it to be.
Suffice to say it's an animal. Once I get it tuned out, it will be dangerous. The AFRs are in the 10.0 area which is well into the rich zone and needs to lean out. The wideband and the plugs tell the same story.
