Thanks guys,I made some changes and ran it last Sunday ,it picked up another 2 mph (97.50) best so far! And it also went the best 60' 1.70 so it keeps going in the right direction just a slow process.

Fred is it maintaining boost during shifts? It sounds like you are making progress in the right direction.

Sean it does,but it still has some issues,it miss's/studders and lays down after I shift,then it clears up and starts pulling again, it was in the low 90*s and humid when I ran it so I think it was too rich,10.2 at full throttle on the wideband AFR gauge, im gonna go back out next week or two and play with fuel pressure and some other injectors, im guessing I lost 3 to 4 tenths in that miss because it really lays down and to get that little motor in that big car going again takes some time!

well kinda bringing back an old thread with some changes to the program! after doing some research on this combo I realized it was way over factored and looked to make a big change! I found a real clean 35,000 mile 1984 tbird on craigslist and put most of the stuff from the 88 in the 84 car along with a C4 automatic I bought from IHRA stock racer Mike Ismay! ( thanks Mike)

thanks guys! still have some tuning issues to sort out but so far I'm pretty happy,I believe this car will go 6 to 7 tenths under with the basic combo I'm running now but I just need to make some passes!
hey Hutt how are you guys making out with the Mustang?
