3300# race ready. You are dead right, I had a problem, MPH was way soft.

This was the first time it's ever gone a full 1/4 mile in 100+ degree weather.
I logged every run, AF ratios were good 11.5 or so.

What I did not notice till I got home was down track the intake air temp went over 200*, 213* on the last 2 runs. That by it self could hurt things some. But here's what really caused MPH to fall. The ECU begins to pull timming at about 170* charge temp, pulled 5* ignition advance for every 10* increase in charge temp. From about half track on it was running with only 8 degrees of ignition advance

Knowing this, I'm surprized it had any power at all.

The car has a 3" 3 core Procharger race A/A intercooler up front, see pic.
Guess I need to ck out meth injection?? Or something, any ideas?

I have somewhat a similiar setup that is about done. For cooling the IAT's I have a huge 4inch FMIC with a Duel Nozzle meth kit, I am shooting for around 650-700RWHP.
I would throw the meth on that thing if it was me, who did the tuning??

I got it running well enough to drive it over to Westech (about 20 miles) that was about 3 years ago.
About 6 hours on there chassis dyno got me close.

I hear a lot of great things about the Alky control kit, but when I will be going with the AIS kit that is trunk mounted pre-assembled. Both are good choices.

The Red Ws6 is the project that the 383 AFR procharger setup is going in and its the current setup
