Ignition problems solved and she's making clean runs down the street ( In Mexico of course). The problem was the cam sync signal was not occurring in the right spot before the compression stroke so it was throwing off firing events even though the log files showed timing at a steady 25 deg. Thanks to my son Erik Jr. for all of his help and insight. We have a test and tune coming up on the 22nd where we will make a second attempt at some decent boosted runs. Car is very strong on wastegate springs (approx. 8.5 psi). We'll probably not shoot for much higher than 15. I'll post our results and video links on the 23rd. Then it's off to Hot Rod Drag Week. Here's a video from Norwalk. Maiden voyage down the track to check line lock, handling, trans operation and brakes. Just a lazy drive.
