The rest of the story. I steal the datalogger out of the SS car and we head to Wildhorse
Pass. When the car leaves the fuel pressure drops to zero and never recovers the rest
of the run. Enough fuel that the car doesn't miss.
The idea of let's not over spend on the fuel system didn't work out. I would have never thought that a 110 gph pump would not be enough for a 225 hp stocker.
So on goes the 400 gph spare for my car. Problem solved. Right back to where the et should be and the car is now consistent.
As a side note. The pro bracket cutoff here is 13.99 and here car won't run that in the heat. So I prep a 1.21 carb thinking that it will pick the car up enough to run 13.99 during the day. That carb picked the car up 6 tenths and almost 6 mph. 13.42 at 98 mph on the first pass.
