looks like my issues were I was running about 9.7 afr. I was consitrating on the fuel pressure gauge instead of the wideband. leaned it out and was much better. still alot of tuning needed. Timing was about 12* and about 7psi

Thank you very much. I got a new tensioner from O'realys. it was a different design. Has more travel. Beat on it most of the night and its still holding up. Going to order a slightly longer belt though

Little by little you are getting all the little nuances figured out and dialed in. Can't wait to see what she runs in the 1/4

Yes, its slowly coming together. Next up is tuning and getting my fmic mounted up. Was seeing 25-30* over ambient temps on the interstate last night. Cruising at 75-80@around 2500 rpm

So I'm out driving.l, have the lap top hooked up. Did a wot. Stopped to look qt the log, and I forgot to starring recording the run but the truck felt great shifting at 5700. Going to up the shifts another 100rpm. Saw about 8psi. Should be good for 12-13 by 6500.

Man this thing is screaming now. Best 0-60 was 5.1 sec shifting at 6900 rpm. Just did it in 4.4 sec shifting at 6000. About 8.5 psi and 10.5* timing. Injectors are at 59%. May try a 25% e85 mix.
