The Holley is much easier to learn & use in my opinion. I was never really comfortable with HPT to be honest. Felt like that was more tricking the system vs making changes to me.

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. Plant of room though. Going to add in a shelf and maybe a small tongue box.
