Well, I spent most of the day in the garage...

getting ready to get some sleep...

and get up at 6 in the morning...

on a Sunday...

to go drag racing!

Tracks dont open around here until the beginning of April :frown:

Good Luck though! Eager to hear what the Blue Flame is going to run!

Did Hagerstown open this weekend? WOW...open track today and test/tune next weekend. First brackets on the 25th. Good luck, JD!

I'm not sure what's going on, but the day was informative anyways.

Something is not right and I have some diagnostics to do. The best the car would do was 99mph with a 13.5 as the best ET. It seemed to be ignition related? I did manage a datalog which showed a decent A/F ratio and apparent lockup on the new converter. After 3 runs, I called it a day. No sense going any further the way it was running.

I did get to see one of my co-workers in his S-10 toy with a stroked big block running on alcohol. He was knocking down mid 9's at over 130 mph fighting for traction.

Sorry to hear that JP. But if all went well every single time, it would be "boring"

I don't have the luxury of time to be bored.

I'm sure if it were OBD2 it would be staring me in the face. As it is, the EEC-IV system is being obstinate. Like one of the guys I was running with said, "... Something's had to have changed..." and I just haven't found it yet.

LOL, you gotta relax

Let's do an OBD II swap on this car then ... easy peasy.

LOL, I've changed everything else so why not?

I'm sure you'll figure it out. You always do. Everything will come back together and you'll see low 12s next time.
