Great Videos, when and who is going to tune the car? With all of that money spent , I hope you have a good handle on ignition and fuel maps. I would hate to see her run lean or run rich and wash out the rings....

Im tuning it Im using base maps that someone posted (RPHarris I think, or close to that username) to start. So far no issues, except that its having some sort of sync loss on the trigger wheel at 4PSI. I have no idea why, so im working on that now. Doesnt lose sync at 6000RPM free revving, but does at 3000RPM and 4PSI boost.... I did have a fuel injector jam open early in the tuning process despite all my testing of them (Murpheys Law strikes!) but im pretty sure that happened after the rings seated. Right now all the spark plugs are a uniform tan color.

So once I get the trigger issue sorted, its set for more boost and ignition map tuning. I think the root of the problem might be that its triggering off the corner of the wheel, so im going to make a new mount.

There's a lot of trigger issues going on on RL recently, some sort of curse..
I've seen tiny sync errors result in less ignition dwell and that will cause the misfires to begin earlier at boost than off boost (since more ignition power is needed to ignite the denser mix at boost)
