got it down to just above 11.5 @ WOT

was able to get 17 degrees of timimg w/o knock...awesome improvement!

had a scare after the first pull...hose coupler came off the MAF from the pulling and twisting we did to the intake to TB tube...truck started flooding and shutting off...we didn't know WTF was going on...

seems to pull pretty well...had an issue a couple of times with it not downshifting when I matted it though...not sure about that one...

 

his fuel trims are on the postivie side so the a/f jumps around a bit up top but we got it safe. Increased timing to 15 from 12...no knock or rattling...up to 17 degrees...all good. When we get to the track i will dial it in some more. It should be fat and safe for now. Before it would rattle at 15 from too much cylinder heat with the lean a/f. I gotta get his fuel trims right or I will be chasing a/f all the time. When his maf hose popped off, i thought OH ****!! Dunno how much timing it will like now....how was yours Dave? The more you mat it, the more you are gonna clean that intake

 

I thought that self cleaning shop rag would have done the trick...
hell, I thought maybe he sneaked one into mine when it shut off like it did...

 

gonna put my intercoolers on today and MAYBE put on the progressive alky controller but i feel lazy for some reason,
