Why? You don't want too much timing for what 5hp? You can play with it on the dyno see where you max out, then turn it down a bit cause it's really not worth it.

Yup!! With the wideband plugged behind the o2 sensor and not at the tailpipe.

Well just finished reading your thread about this and sorry to hear all that! And in my opinion not very professional of Ted to be calling you out like that, especially after you practically threw money his way!

But im glad to hear you'll be using Matt@FSP for help and tuning! I Think thats a huge move on your part! good luck on the future build!

The funniest thing is all the non stop Pms I've gotten all day from people in utter amazement. About the entire situation going back to August.

3 months and no racing! Blew up first pass at Indy. Did 600 break in miles just like I was instructed, then the dyno, where I think something happened, then labored down the track four times.
It went 10.55 at 133 1.61 on the first pass. Do you remember the last time it went that slower on blower only? Maybe 3 years ago. Motor was done then.

Hmm. You just barely let him have another whack at it last time. I haven't read your other thread. Can someone link it for me. I'm stuck at a trade show this week.

I think you're on the right track with Rhino and FSP giving you good advice. Come hang out in here for a while. Will keep you from getting madder and madder at the situation.

Actually I have to say I'm not really mad. What's done is done. I'm focusing on just getting the car fixed and finding out what it is really capable of. I'm also sad to end a relationship but excited to embark on a new one. I just what to put this crap in the rear view. Man, that statement is all over the place!!

The outpouring off help is pretty overwhelming. Lots of good people here.
