Hey guys, thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I ripped the intake and VC's off tonight and didn't see anything that was obviously wrong which scares me a little. I will do a compression test tomorrow and go from there. The only thing I did notice was that there was a lot of raw fuel around the #4 and #8 runners where the upper and lower inatke meet which has me a bit puzzled. I pulled the #4 spark plug and it too was drenched with fuel. I know I wa running rich as I never changed the tune AT ALL from when I ran in November and the thing was very rich up top in the cooler fall air. I had my laptop with me but the battery went dead before I could make any chages with my eec tuner. Anyway, to make matters worse,
I HAD MY 11 SECOND RUN ON SATURDAY! Look at the 60' and 330' times on the last two runs compared to my 12.03 run. I missed 4th on both of those runs.
I shift from 3rd to 4th right before the first 1/8th mile markers, so I only have the 60' and 330' to go by, but since I was already ahead of the 12.03's 60' and 330' I know they would both more than likely have been 11 second passes.
Here's all my runs from saturday. I was good on the lights and I was pretty consistent concidering I had a 100% new
suspension that I was trying out. Needless to say it works as i went from a best ever 1.65 60' to a 1.62 60'.
The tires were my 5yr old 26X10.5X16 ET streets with 16.5lbs of air in them mounted on stock 16" waffle wheels.
