Put 12 gallons of E-85 in it tonight..put a new set of plugs gapped at .020 and checked the valves.all were good.....added a bit of fuel to the map and got it fired...had to keep leaning it down to get it to run...though I was so happy when I saw it idling at 15 + to 1 afr....I can see no more fouled plugs in my future!

Will be out early in the morning to get some last minute things done and get to the Dyno tomorrow...2pm....

good luck my friend i hope ya have a good day at the dyno

did you get it back on the rollers

Went ahead and installed it though going to use my 6AL to fire off the plugs....I have an MSD distributor...wired up the squirt to accept the VR circuit so I am just going to use the reluctor wheel and pickup in the distributor for my RPM sensor..just like I had my DFI.

Any particular reason you chose to go with the MS2 as opposed to the MS3 with it's potential for sequential injection and 8 logic ignition drivers?

For reference, here is my MS3, JimStim 1.5, and relay board I just finished a month ago. It'll be going into my 440'd 80 Ramcharger.



Best of luck to you

From what I could find out the MS3 could not drive 8 sequential LOW impedence injectors, which is what I have 160lbers..also I do not have the supporting components to allow for sequential control such as either a crank trigger or dual sync distributor....also sequential is only really going to make a difference down low on a mild engine...not what I am really worried about..My motor ran fine down low on the E-85 right before it took a dump, and it was batch fire at that time....

And with the MS1 not having timing control that dropped it from the possible list.

Also the price jump was significant enough for me to atleast get famaliar with the megasquirt family...If I decide I can use some of the features of the megasquirt 3 I can purchase the megasquirt 3 daughterboard and heightend case....


Ripped out my dfi harness tonight, cut off the connectors I will be splicing on, and also unsoldered the 2.5 bar map sensor and wired up my 3 bar into the unit....I just used the old connector and just soldered the cable right to the motherboard and and ran the wires out through the hole for the onboard map sensor. I knew 21 psi was not going to last long for me...might as well have a sensor can register possible over boosting if needed.

I am having a break up problem at around 5000 rpms. It just won't pull past it. Until then, it's great.

At the request of the tuner, I am putting on a crank trigger, which he said will solve the problem. He said he had multiple cars do this and a crank trigger solved it.

Mustang dyno (usually 10-15% less than a dynojet)
11psi----710hp 6100 rpms , 764 torque 4400rpms unloaded dyno pull(670 loaded)

17psi----846hp loaded dyno

23 psi----980hp 6500 rpm, 900 torque 5200rpm (loaded pull)


basically picked up 200hp than from before at about 3 pounds less boost.....I was going to add just a tad to see 4-digits but a little water spurted from the radiator spout on the 980 pull... (no overflow yet) so want to re-torque heads first before pushing it any harder.

All on e-85 ,possible still winter blend, so I was a little hesistant to keep pushing....
