[wb's87]

Hello all. Any advice would be appreciated. My car runs really well. I am now looking to tune it closer to it's potential. I did a pull from 0-80mph at approx. frame 319 on the pl file. everything looks pretty good to me but I am very knew to this and am not very sure what I'm looking at.

Here are my most recent track times from last Tues night

1/8 mi: 7.74sec @ 86.20mph, 1.67 60', 4.895 330', 7.21 594'

Pushin' those little 009's pretty hard at the top of 2nd gear I think. I was going to say that your WOT pulls looked pretty rich, but I see you're running alky so it's hard to tell on narrowband O2 readings only. If you're going to keep pushing your car this hard I would recommend a wideband in your future. I also noticed one MAF dropout in a couple of your WOT pulls. Not sure why that is.
Other than that, I don't see a lot really wrong. Car appears to be running well.

Thank you Turbodave! Do you have a recommendation on which wide band you like?
I appreciate the feedback.

Well, I like the PLX SM-AFR, for it's simplicity and long term accuracy. But that's just me.

Thank you for the advice. PLX wideband is on it's way!

Since you have a powerlogger you can get the cheep one with no gauge. The scanmaster will switch over to actual A/F instead of the NB 02's.

Thanks for the reply. I ordered the PLX SM-AFR without gauge and also the PLX EGT. without gauge. This should complete my monitoring needs for now. I'm trying to determine if adding a boost controller and/or a two step controller will help my ET's

If you're not sure.... the boost controller and two step will most likely not help your ETs.

Ok. I feel like with my setup the car should be faster. I am trying to figure out how to get the most out of it. any suggestions?

Keep in mind it's possible to make more power and go slower. I'd get the wideband installed, relearn the car with the new data capabilities then worry about adding more gimmicks.

That's good sound advice. Thank You!

I went to Empire Dragway here in Western NY last night for the Friday test & tune. The air was cool and the car ran great!

All time best run to date
60' 1.628
330' 4.855
1/8 7.605
1/8 89.05mph
1000' 10.005
1/4 12.048
mph 112.44

I attached pl file for review. I encountered 1.8kr at the top of 3rd gear. Is it normal for Alky to start spraying so soon? When I look at the data screen on the pl the power enrichment (alky) comes on very soon.

All feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks Bill
