I only am getting this phantom retard over 1.0 Pressure Ratio......the more I obsess over it, the more I think it is a fail safe of sorts against failing fuel pressures. It will be a week or so and I will have a second fuel pump to mount on the tank and we will find out for sure. Until then, I am done with it.....rev limiter set to 3500.
BTW, i have a 37% ethanol mix in there now and it carries slightly higher before nosediving. I am considering running it out of fuel and filling up with MS103 or the like and seeing if that will allow me to get to 7K, although I don't want to use race gas (or meth), the whole point of this build is E85.
regular knock sensor, I haven't missed any spark tables.
