I like it, car likes it, but boy is it thirsty, started out friday afternoon at the Curt George Memorial and had some issues with it wanting to leave the line but after AJ and I worked on getting everything dialed it started to come around, what we didn't realize was how much squirter this motor wanted so we made amajor size change and eliminated the starting line bog/stumble,,,just in time for first elimination on Saturday,,needless to say I broke out BIG time and called it a day, I had dialed it at a 10.22 not knowing what it was going to do and the car came to life and clicked off a 10.16 at 128mph sunday was a little better with the time trial coming in at a 10.17@127 and settled in around 10.19 for the rest of the day,,the jetting is still way fat as it didn't build any heat down track and the idle circuit is fat also cause it takes forever to warm up and the fumes are heavy with the motor loading up slightly and takes a while to clean out in the burnout box, we made a lot of progress and with a little more work this thing is going to run great,,it didn't do too bad as I got down to 8 car's and brought home some money, thanks go to AJCasini for all the support and tech advise, I learned alot over the weekend and he was right by my side to walk me thru all this.

good to hear, especailly for those who might want to go boosted in the future.

What or who,s carb did you switch to?. I agree about that track, its a little slow compared to others. Thompson Raceway is a little fast compared to others.

Glad you had a good day

If it is 2 slow he was flying then !

I'm not too sure about the 2 slower at that track ---- I ran the same times there as I did in Bowling Green 2 weeks ago




Russ

The track is a bit slower around .1, goes uphill after the 1/8 mile. Been racing there many years and normally that difference from QCR to Pittsburgh.

Bill I am glad we could get ya going and put some money in your pocket on Sunday. Only better things to come as we fine tune that small block monster.

Our MPH was down 1-2, but the car ran relatively the same as it did at Bowling Green like Russ said, actually went a tad quicker.

Good to see you are getting the E85 figured out Bill!

Casey

We were slow 2-3 MPH and .05-.08 too.

buy an A/F guage, put in an O2 sensor and forget about "guessing" what it wants

You'll get there with the E85. As for the times, car ran the same Friday as it did the week before in Columbus. The converter went south Friday night so I'm going to be trying to dial it in at Norwalk also.

There is no need for an A/F Gauge to get your E85 tune-up dialed in. I was talked into getting one and IMHO I thought it was a total waste of money. Most old school racers can dial their cars in just fine with a few test n tune runs down the track. Follow AJ's advise and get it to build a little heat going downtrack and be done with it. Save your money for something else.

getting a good wideband will give you more info than just afr tuneing.
i have a wego3 it showed me that the scoop was making my car ritchen up a lot making jetting for plug color at the end not showing you everything..
plus converter data. you can do it old skool but the wego3 can take some time away on guessing and hit a setup fast.

Bill....I am glad it is working for you. AJ sure knows his stuff! Good luck!
