I will be taking a trip to Nelson Performance in December for tuning, dyno and track. Going to push 20 psi and add some racefuel to see what it can do. I will be happy to drive it back home in one piece. Any guesses on times?

It has a stock 34" radiator and a small .5 gallonish tank. It used to drip fluid when I turned it off after a hard pass but I learned to leave truck on for a few minutes after running it hard. No problems cooling even in 100 degree heat with AC on.

Time for some changes.
First of all I found out today that my wideband sensor was off by over 2 points and I was letting off at the track and adding fuel for no reason. Hence the far from stellar times. Put in new sensor yesterday and reading was 13.0 before and 10.1 AFR after.
I also found that my converter is too loose on high boost. On 8 lbs its about perfect but once you go 15 plus it blows right through it. It is a 3600 right now and Plans are to send it back to precision to go a step or two down. Still need help deciding how low. They work in 400 rpm increments.
I have also dedided to pursue a rollbar so that I can practice at my local track. It's very hard to get better without practice and I miss racing often.
Lastly, I hope to learn how to tune in the near future so I can occupy myself with that and stop spending money on parts.
