Phil -
Rule #1: Don't spend any money.
Rule #2: Don't grow up.

Been doing some more thinking about your ride... consider a heat gun or temp gauge directly on the intake manifold. I'm thinkin' that's where your ET is moving around, since you said you were getting the *engine* temp the same. I see Gale Pinkston ice the intake on his Camaro every single run... food for thought.

For Mike Volkman.... after studying the photo Butch posted, I'm wondering if you don't need to go *up* on the tire pressure. I've run into traction issues by running tires too low as much (if not more) than having them too high. Running them too low, you may be wearing out the sidewall before you wear out the 'tread'.
