Thought I'd give a quick update. Found a post maf leak where my custom maf housing connects to the tb elbow. I tried wiring in resistors to keep from pegging the maf but it just wasn't enough so I ordered a programmable maf controller. I just finished wiring it in and I will try to dial in this week.

It is a split second psc1-001. It has a built in map sensor and you can fill in tables to altermaf signal. I will let you know how it goes

Quick update. Went to the track today just to play with the split second controller. I didn't bother putting skinnies or ice in the car and just ran on 93 octane. Was making progress, trapped 104.4 in the 1/8th with no launch and then the belt shredded Still waiting on axles too... I may be parting everything out but the car has so much potential. It's just pissing me off

Thanks guys. Its tough to get it right since when I add a bunch of resistance it goes lean and I can't adjust the ecu tune myself. I'm thinking about redoing the intake with a single 3.5" pipe and cone filter. Maybe this way the maf can get a more accurate reading.

I forgot to mention the DA was +850 when I ran. I think the car will go basement tens soon as I get axles. I'm calling other places now since dss is taking forever

I did get a run in before I altered the maf resistance but was misfiring from 5000rpm in 3rd all the way to the 1/4. So basically running on 7 cylinders. I will look for the slip but it was a high 10 second pass with a 1.8x 60' and only around 102 in 1/8th. I think it trapped 129.x in the quarter on that run.

Thanks, it has been over 130 before. I think once I get misfire figured out, if I ever do (driving me crazy) it will go around 135

Looks like I have a big decision to make now. Hami said he wants to buy my Kleemann supercharger. Its hard for me to sell since I know the car has alot left in it. At this point do I sell the supercharger and part out the car or sell the supercharger and take it to the next level? Next level meaning drop in forged pistons and slap a Whipple on top? I keep going back and forth. The axle and misfire issue has worn my patience thin which has led me to this point. Decisions decisions

I used to have the record for a while. I'm pressing dss hard to get the axles made since the diff seems to be worked out in terms of custom offset mounts and diff cover

Quick update: I have looped my fuel rail (need to get it rewelded since it leaks at the welded fitting) and dss has started on my axles. The SC is pretty much sold There is very little clearance to loop the rail between the blower and the valves
