Default Pretty blown Boss 'vert vs Ugly turbo notch

I was just out doing some datalogging on dirvability stuff since I just upgraded to bigger injectors and mass air. I had the bottom end down and working pretty well so I wat heading out to the interstate to get in a little WOT blast to see where the A/F ratio was. I just set it by eye guesstimation on the graph from looking at my last setup.

Never did make it to the main test track because I ran across this reall good looking bright blue Boss convertible that was ripping through traffic down Brian Dairy. My Momma told me not to get another ticket on Brian Dairy because of all the speed traps there. So I just tried to keep up and hope for better conditions. We truned north onto 19 and I got some open track. Now he chooses to just lay back. so I move over one lane and open up another slot. Finally he pulls out of line anc comes roaring up. When he got alongside, we were doing about 70 and we nailed it. The Uglymobile just strolled away without much effort. I got out of it at 105 according to the datalog because there didn't seem to be much point in continuing...besides I had forgotten to watch the A/F gauge. (dumbshit). He flew on by and disappeared into the sunset and I headed back to the barn to check the logs. The good news is the A/F was sitting between 10.8 and 11.2 with two peaks at 11.6. Not bad for a blind shot. The timing was down to 17.5 because things were a little warm from sitting at the stoplight for so long. Looks like I can maybe lean it out and possibly add a little more timing.

Oh, there was a guy behind us in a Honda. When he came by, he was just laughing and shaking his head. Yeah, I thought it would be a little tighter race too 'cause the Boss sounded killer with that whiney blower going on. Weight owns him I suppose.

Some day maybe I will be able to pick on bigger seals like you (Chett and Ron) do. Maybe.







Nahhhhh, I'll just be a medium dog.
