The car is doing really well for the most part. The data log is showing a drop in fuel pressure at launch but it recovers quickly and the AFR is remaining safe the entire time. So I ordered a fuel rail pressure tester to see if the pressure is similar to what the Holley is reading. This drop wasn't showing up when I was at the track in May so something is up, just need to figure out what.

I will probably eventually go the Holley route. Probably sooner rather than later. Any updates?

Not much to update. Over the weekend I disconnected the rear wheel speed sensors and been driving it to see if it causes any issues, non so far thankfully. I also ordered a driveshaft speed sensor and hoping to get all that wired into the Holley before the weekend. The sensor wheel will mount to the transmission yoke and I will make a bracket to hold the sensor out of aluminum.

Here is a pic from the sensor wheel in place. Working on a way to mount the sensor this evening. The sensor is from Motion Raceworks and it's the newest version they have for the driveshaft sensor.

I did finish getting the driveshaft sensor installed and working this weekend.
Before the weekend I took a little side trip to Three Rivers MI to pick up an 4x6 aluminum trailer I ordered a while back. I am planning to do drag week (if I can get in) and one or two smaller ones. I went to Sick 66 in MO-Kan back in October to watch some racing and also take a look at trailers/setups. I really wanted something small and light as well. And since I havent gotten any better with welding aluminum I figured it was best to buy something lol.. Trailer has electric brakes and stabilizers on the rear as well. Tows great and was tested with snow & rain on the way home.. No leaks!! lol I havent weighed it yet but its supposed to be about 450lbs. Tongue weight empty was a whopping 46lbs.. and can carry about 1700lbs which I doubt it will have that much in it... lol. Plenty of room though. Going to add in a shelf and maybe a small tongue box.

Been a bit since I posted. Didn’t really do much to the car over the winter. Once it got warmer I started driving it to work on nice days.
Last week on the way home it started stumbling and really struggled under power. Got home and into the garage. Decided to pull the plugs and check them out. While there I checked the resistance on the plug wires and walla! 3 plug wires all measured 17.7 ohms, then 1 each at 18.4, 19.7, 22.8, 27.3 & 50.7. So got some new wires ordered and back to running good. Took it to Tulsa on Saturday. 1st and only pass was a 9.60 @143. After the pass on the return road, the TB was non-responsive and it was idling at 1500 or so (should be 950ish). Shut the car off and restarted, drove fine back to the trailer. Went back to the lanes for another pass, went to pull into the water box and the TB went dead again.. couldn't get it figured out so headed to the house. Disconnected the battery while unloading it from the trailer and was able to drive it into the garage. Seemed fine.. Anyways, here is a cool pic a photographer took at the track -

Great pic. Glad to see you getting her out. Any idea what is going on with the TB?

I'm also interested in your throttle body issue mainly because I have the same one.

Quick update - Lots of threads / posts online about a limp mode issue that some NW TB's have. So yesterday after work I sent a message describing the symptoms to NW and he responded fairly quickly to send it in and they would get it repaired. Just need to fill out the return form and send it in. So I will get that pulled off / boxed up this evening and on the way tomorrow morning.

Throttle body issues are maddening, and there are so many things can impact the sensitive operation of them - mechanical, electrical, and tuning. Interested in what you find. Did you throw a code?
