Howdy all! I finally went to a track after a 4 yr hiatus. I'd made several changes to the car, so it was purely test and tune. Upgrades included TE44 turbo, RJC Powerplate, TH downpipe, and Translator with LT1 MAF.
Bottom line: Turbolink showed MIX as rich throughout my one good run, but O2 volts, spark retard and boost were as follows:

O2 RTD Boost
765 4.2 22.5
691 0 22.5
679 0 21
669 6.6 22
628 6.1 23
667 2.6 23
707 .2 22.5
679 0 22.5

Looks pretty lean to me! Any thoughts? Could the LT1 MAF and the Translator do this?

It looks really lean to me. Can add some WOT fuel with the translator and see if your O2's get closer to 780? Is the O2 working?
 
O2 crosscounts are pretty active. I put in a Denso O2 sensor, which is supposed to be lead resistant, as I was using 114 leaded gas. Crosscount deltas were:
105, 19, 15, 0, 12, 28, 6, 0, 0
So that's bouncing around pretty good, altho I've never seen a 105 reading before...
How do I add WOT fuel with the translator? I don't have the extended translator.
I did turn up the fuel pressure two full rotations, but the track shut down (at 10:40!!) so I didn't get any more runs. I guess I'll check it on a local backroad I'm familiar with. But I have to get more 114 first.

?? What was your fuel pressure at during the run(s) and after the "two full rotations"?
 
I don't know.
a) My fuel pressure gauge is not lit and it was dark.
b) Even if it was lit, I seem incapable of looking at gauges while I'm racing. A character flaw I need to overcome.
It was set at 42psi vac off, at idle.
