adjust it or not?
That is the question.
first test and tune of the year with new mods netted me slightly quicker times. (i think it can go faster) timing is still set at base 6deg fuel pressure set at stock psi.
but and this is a big but '''''' first run 13.79, hit rev limiter.
2nd run 13.72 , 3rd run 13.72, 4th run 13.72!
holy consistancy batman so should i bump my timing and fuel pressure or say what the h--- and leave it alone.
seeings how consistancy wins races.
what do some of you think?

Since you already have a baseline, you know where to go back to should future mods not produce any gains.

I live up in Elk Run, just east of Waterloo and race the points series at Cedar Falls since it's only 20minutes from home.
Hav'ent been to Earlville for a couple years, the horrible track prep left a bad taste in my mouth years ago and from other Mod. racers I talk to it does'nt sound like it's any better.
Cordova I try to hit for the World Series of Drag Racing and then ET Finals.
Going to make Eddyville again this year for a big bucks, really nice track/facility, too bad it's 1/8th mile.
Then my friend just moved to Nebraska so we're thinking about trailering over to Scrimner and run there for a weekend, but that's like a last thing on the todo list.
Have to give me a shout when you know you'll be heading to CFR and I'll make it a point to meet you.
