After 2 wasted Fridays trying to get the TTA down the track on a clean pass, this past Friday was a good day at the track. I had a few problems that I fingered out: a bad volt booster, a dead cell in my battery (prolly from the bad VB), and a vacume leak that goes along with a bad case of dumbass! Turns out the hissing sound I'd been hearing since putting the motor back together....the same one I could not find, was actually one of the hard lines comming off the vacume block with nothing on the end of it 
So, I had a BIG vacume leak that was adversely affecting the MAP sensor, which in turn was messing with the alky controller, which in turn was messing with everything.....oh, I forgot to mention that the FP regulator was also in that loop. Now throw in there that the battery was not up to full power and the alternator was not charging correctly.....now the alky pump doesn't have full power and neither does the fuel pump or anything else that works off of 12 volts....errr Anyhow, all of that crap is fixed now and the car is running real good. First pass off the trailer the car felt great at 24 psi.....no time slip, the printer was broken! Next few passes I messed with what MPH the TCC L/U took place and timing in high gear. I managed to knock off an 11.50 @ 120.66 on a 1.73 short time.....1/8 mile was 7.19 @ 95.23, all passes were at 24 psi through the muffler. I'm a solid 3 mph off across the board when compared to BG....I'll get there after a bit more tuning! Right now the tune is not in "kill" mode, so there is a bunch left in it....I just have to find it
