Get better soon, PopolZ!  And stay away from peeling lead paint.

Thanks! And I'm near the end of the painting!!! I have to pickup gallon no 22 tomorrow and I'll be done by the end of the day.

Anyone every think of shimming the hood to help keep the temps down In the engine bay ?

 

[PopolZ]

you should watch Roadkill on youtube... No hood is better!

Just when I thought I'd left the ricer world.

Not yet, I was just doing 40-60 pulls in 3rd and watching AFR. The car aux fuel system is either putting the car at 9.8-9.9 AFR and no problems or 10.8-11.2 and sometimes the car feels like it's going lean so it closes throttle. I am so glad this car is smart because it should have blown up many times by now. The good thing is I have boost and I can tune the fuel luckily with the aux fueling controller. Long term I'm probably going to look at a more sophisticated controller but that costs more $$ so we'll see. I need to stop by Pro-EFI who is in town here and see if they'll help out

My random thought of the day;

To thank 4DRHTRD for all his work he has done to advance the platform, EVEN before he started this forum. I seen him posting on other forums, seeking advice or seeing what everyone else has done and there results.
I researched this vehicle for over a year, and seeing him advance the platform made it so much easier. THANKS AGAIN for your all the money, and time you have put into this. Tell your wife thanks as well, i am sure she thought you were crazy for pulling apart a brand new 40k car.

EDIT; What did your wife say to all of this? i assumed this was your primary car, and your family car?

 

[4DRHTRD]

Thank you very much!

Mike's got more vehicles to drive then he knows what to do with.  Plus he works from home, so blowing up his car and not getting to work isn't really a concern....  )

It all makes sense now...

But I should add that technically the Flex is his "primary" car...  :beer: :bangin:

 

[4DRHTRD]

I have my Flex, wife has her truck and I have a beater for the kids. When the flex is down I drive the kids car . Not that many cars...

Glad to be back in rural Wisconsin!  I still have to make a couple of trips back to the slums of suburban Chicago before the end of the month.  The only bad thing is that I'll probably have to detune down to 91 octane.  But, it will be worth it.

I sailed (Raced a C scow) on Lake Delavan  when in College.  Later raced MC's here in IA, and bought from Melges in Zenda.

 

[DJE624]

LOL  Buddy Melges!

I wish i had like 2,000 in cash to spend on the flex. I would get a tune, and lighter wheels to start.
