I will have the big tune on there by then.

They aren't running Fridays yet. They have been running some Sundays though.

That's better, for me actually. What time are they running? 12-5 test and tune?

Let me know and I may have to see if I can run another 8.4 @ 100+ mph, lol. I swear if this car hooked back on the stock block that I would have seen 7's. To date my best is a 8.4 @ 92 or 94 mph, its been awhile since I ran.

I hid my camcorder in the car, so I couldn't/wouldn't forget it this time! Fully charged and it's a dvd camcorder, so it should be great quality, granted I can find a good host for it.

Also, I have decided to share my low boost setting on Thursday, the high boost will be a different story.

Before some of the folks that don't necessarily like suspense, it will be under 700 whp for high boost . So I am not expected to be a big dog at ZdayZ, but I should be in the top 10-15 there running at least.

Chris is cool, his car even feels kinda of quick. Another thing is that he has the track package and I am incredibly jealous of track brakes and/or BBK's!!!

I am always on the lookout for a good set of Brembos or used BBK's or better yet a sponsorship, God knows I have spent enough money for one, lol.

OK, I know, that comment =

Update:

Worked on the car until 9:40 last night, got the boost dialed in, but ran into a few issues.

At the beginning of the high boost run the fuel ran very lean 12.9:1 between 4000 and 4200 rpms and the injectors were at 92 % duty cycle??

Not to mention the shop that originally hooked my boost controller up had WAY to much vaccuum line and that caused to overboost, Maximum fixed that, so no more issues there and the car is holding great boost and making as fast as he starts the dyno, lol.

The catch can was also installed improperly by the previous shop, so we were having a minor oil leak, that should be fixed today.

All in all, she was making great power with no real tuning to speak of, i.e. no timing, and all work should be completed today including tuning.

If anyone could tell me what fuel pressure they are running, I would greatly appreciate it as well. I have 650 cc injectors and AAM return fuel system with the walbro 255 lph pump.
