Any chance you got a bad box? It's happened a lot with the Big Stuff computers lately. Had two in a row that was bad.

Sorry I got all kinds of questions today!!
Too much coffee this morning??????

It's not fire, so we can only assume it's fuel at this point. It runs better and misses less in colder temps. No Q16......

The plugs look fine after a pass, but it's hard to get in there right afterwards because of the turbo headers. We just changed out the MSD box, and it does the same thing.

We are going to make some more passes on Saturday night if the weather cooperates. We can't street tune this car at all. Once you get under boost in 1st and hit second, you loose all traction. It is scary.......

Okay, I was wondering about the Q16. It has to be handled properly because it's oxegenated and you can have some issues if you don't store it correctly. I don't medd with it. What fuel are you using?

It likes cooler temps? Could the fuel tables be off? Maybe your putting to much fuel in at WOT in a certain area and it is fouling a bit?

When you go back to the pits do you use a tow vehicle or drive it back? If you can make a pass and shut the car down at the big end. Idle as little as possible. Use a tow vehicle to bring it back to the pits. Then pull the plugs. To much idling might be fouling your read on the plugs?

Just a thought.

It has been brought up on v6power that the fuel pressure might be too high. The pressure was never adjusted when the new pump was put on.
