Re: Looking for a Holley Terminator X wiring expert.
Tested the car last Friday (Tuner Matthew Goede with RAD present and working his magic on the keyboard. Through a Muffler and long pipe extension. Ran the same ET from week before at 2,000' higher corrected DA. No more 4,800 rpm safety in low gear from the old ECM/PM, still driving in D...but adjusted the shift point a bit higher and 5600/5600/4,500 at tge stripe. Car wanted more, more, more fuel. Matt gave it more each pass for 4 passes.
Final 2 passes 60' matched , 330 matched to the thou. 660' within a couple of thou.....but the quarter was slower each pass.
Entered for Saturday/Sunday but Matt looked at the logs overnight and we are waaaaaay to lean (no damage though, but need to locate a 120-125 lb/hr injector High Impedance Bosch EV1 style on Saturday in Vegas, I had to withdraw my paid entry (first time in my racing life), and searched all day Saturday all over the Vegas Valley...no go. Changed plugs, inserted the camera into all 4 cyls, nice and clean in there as were the plugs removed, no piston or valve damages...whew! Packed it up, asked by note at 5AM Sunday to withdraw from The Sunday Race too. That really sucked, and put the car away in storage...ordered 2 injectors from fuel injectorclinic.com by Robin Lawrence contact Monday AM (TY again Robin!...)
The injectors 1-1,400cc/min and 1-1,700/min. Shipped Monday at noon. Due in Thursday/Friday. The Spring Fling 1/8th mile races 15K, 30K, 30K, 30K, Million starts April 1 @Vegas. It will need some tuning, but it will have the correct amt. Of fuel after a quick injector change and a 2 wire AIC repinning
switch. It is going to be ready.
I just hope it takes all day to get a couple of rounds done, I am deadly after dark there.
We shall see soon enough. Thank you Matthew/RAD...your time, advice, and tuning magic are valued highly! (It killed me not to race it, but you were right, it is not worth hurting it by any means), I was long gone in the dark of early morning before even the Juniors started up Sunday. I had to get off the premises before I heard the first motor start up....
I have the drag racing bug really baaaad!
Things are about to get a lot more fun racing a bit faster class racing turtle. Stay tuned, while it gets tuned!
