Good news is both cars avoided being on the bottom of the ladder...bad news is they both suck.
I made the first qualifying pass in the Mustang and knew right away it was going to be awful. Eyeballing the afr gauge for much of the run I could see it was in the 11.8 range nearly all the way down. My GoPro camera confirmed it after the fact. Could only muster a 13.60 on a 13.00 index.
I took some fuel away at WOT with the controller before handing the car off to Kenny. It responded on the second qualifying pass with a 13.32...a step in the right direction at least. Kenny reported the afr gauge reading 14.0 before the stripe so I was stumped at what to do with it next.
Just before first round I gave it just a touch more fuel back in all the cells previously entered as well as taking away 2 degrees timing from 3500 to 6500rpm. Kenny and I both went red first round and the Mustang went 13.34 with the changes. I'm going to have to work with the fuel/timing on this engine...really need some type of recorder to nail it down.
There is also a serious bind in the rear-end which is definitely working against forward motion. I will pull it apart tm to see whats up there. Not the best outing for sure, but hey...there were no parts scattered on the track at least.
