I can get this thing tuned for the street but really need a dyno to play with timing on this e85. There is no telling what it will like and how much fuel. Very hard to tune at the track because of different launches and wheel spin causing higher mph.

I took for a drive yesterday and she was running 14.7 to 15.1 cruising at 70 mph. Not bad...Then I got into it twice and it was lean as heck, 13.8 steady. No knock or pinging though.
Hope to get that straight this afternoon.

BTW, I sold everything from my 408 but the heads. I just put them up for sale yesterday. I need to find someone looking to build a high compression motor.

As long as the slip or spin is somewhat consistent, MPH doesnt change that much with 60ft times, so its actually pretty good at tuning timing, just takes longer than a dyno.

My buddy in Oregon got the AFR down to low 12's and the town driving really good. No more stalling. Sounds great.

Hey. Street tune is close but Ron,wants to finish it off after I install new AFR500 and sensor and then use updated HPT to monitor more items. Tomorrow night back on lift to fix tranny lines, leaking for some reason. While on lift I will install new AFR. I did put alot of break in miles on it last weekend.
Wednesday it goes back to body shop to fix a dent and chip in front fender. A bolt flew out of grinder and of course hits my paint. Looks like crap. Hopefully I get it back by Saturday and finish off the tune.
thx for checking in
