I'm sorry I have not been updating things in a while. We've been all over the place the past couple of weeks, mostly work and vacation.

The 50 lb injectors were such a mistake. After installing them, it ran good, sounded good, but when you shut her down, she would not start till she cooled off completely. Not too bad except when you are trying to fill the gas tank, or show her off to the local Ford dealership! Oh well.
The 2nd Dyno run did not happen two weeks later, it rained and not until we got there did they tell us it can't be done in the rain.
So before the 3rd run I removed the 50's and put 36's in. The speed brain seems to like them and no more drivability problems. So when it came time for the 3rd run, we thought things should be great. Well not so, she actually lost power. They spent numerous hours trying to find it, but did not. They eventually found the Fuel/Air ratio was running really hot, expalining how she'd get hot, really qucik. So they adjusted that and the low end crusing is much better, But top end continued to go the wrong way.  So back tothe drawing boards!

I removed the Airmeter to have calibrated, so while we wait for it, we thought we'd fix some of the small problems we have, like turn signal indicator not working, replace the MSD with Boost retart, with a 6AL. Remove the FMU, replace the Fuel gauge(not sealed properly).
I hope to get things back together shortly, since it's really the only project going on. I should be back shortly with an update, I hope.
