And now you understand why cars come with the smallest possible injectors from the factory instead of just sending everything out with 42#ers. Big injectors make tuning more cumbersome.
I am not 100% sure that everything is coming down to that, but I'm sure it doesn't help a ton.

just get it dyno tuned and done

Any localish places that you would suggest that will play with megasquirt?

I am pretty sure LMT does. @DrLeadFoot would know better than I would tho. I was planning on taking mine there when that time comes.

DB performance in MN, would would require you to come visit
Shane does most of the Megasquirt there as far as I know. Did Brooke's car. It was neat.

100% duty cycle or bust.

Switched to full sequential the other day and also changed the req_fuel to reflect the new information in regards to the injectors (they were rounded for lb/hr and also rated at 3 bar) and suddenly this thing is a different animal.
No burnout vids, but there has for sure been some tire spin.Oh, my starter solenoid did start acting up hard today. Had to have a friend hit it with a screwdriver while I held the key over. Grabbing a new one today to fix that. Luckily it didn't start when I was at a friends house instead of a gas station or somewhere random.

I just see excuses for no Burnout vids.

I have to hit my starter with a screwdriver to get it to start lately. That's fun.
Still trying to track down an 10+PSI breakup. Hoping to do a bit of logging this weekend and really pinpoint what's going on.Got sideways on a gentle bend at about 60mph from rolling on the throttle, didn't expect that to happen and it was amusing to say the least. Stayed in it and just powered through, worked out fine. It just so happened to be when I was giving my dad ride lol.

What plugs and gap are you running? Air fuel ratios good intake it?
NGK BRK7E at .022"
Ratio spikes rich now, but more on that in a second.I was having a hard time keeping all 6 cylinders running due to a plug on the high current side of the coil drivers and I got around to changing that plug this weekend to something more robust with better contact. Boy did that make a difference! I still have some rich spots that cause breakup but I'm working on smoothing those out. The car moves very well now, and I had my first run in with the police for the year! No ticket, just a warning or two.
Traction in second gear has become entirely optional, my tires wont be lasting long.

sooo...
burnout vids then?
I'll have to see if Eric caught one when I was giving him a ride.
Got the old starter out last night and the new one in there, the new one had threaded holes in it and that seemed like it may have made it a bit easier.
I'm looking forward to not needing someone armed with a screwdriver to start my car!While the car is in the air I will be installing my electronic boost controller so I can run my desired 16psi (currently at 13.7) and be able to do a bit more with megasquirt if I choose to do so.
I will also be adding the E fan back to the corner of the radiator for the time being until I get a large and very thin pusher for between the radiator and intercooler.I ordered a muffler for the car as I am getting a bit tired of how loud it is and will be getting that installed next week by the guy that made my exhaust. The muffler is a straight through design so it shouldn't it quiet it down too much but I'm hoping it will remove some of the drone when cruising.
I am also thinking about running the BOV's in a recirc configuration as those are also extremely loud. I may also try piping their outlets down towards the ground and see if that helps before going recirc.

Tial or hks style?
I have two aluminum Bosch style bypass valves

Centric (StopTech) High carbon rotors ordered, along with a full set of Hawk HPS pads.
I know it will be miles better than whatever is on the car now! -
