Thanks, Aaron!
I got out of the hospital yesterday (Thursday) and am back on my feet, up and at 'em, today (Friday) with every intention of doing some more testing and tuning with our newly installed MSD 6-AL II because I think this MP Orange box has hit its limit. The reason I say that is, when we make a test run the freeway, now, what happens is this: We run it up to about 3,000 rpm in 3rd gear at full throttle and as soon as the rpms start to climb above 3,500, and boost starts to climb above 5psi, random ignition failure occurs, and it's not a pretty thing to witness.
NGK plugs (pretty cold ones,) gapped at .030", are apparently not doing the job, but I think insufficient voltage at the plug (solid 16-degrees advance on the crank) is the problem.
Today, (at least, the plan is) the MSD unit goes in, and I am HOPING the ignition miss goes away.
Also, on the agenda, is the examination of the spring values in the waste gate and the spring values in the blowoff valve's operation. I'm hoping to get these values nailed down to a reliable 12 pounds of boost, with the BOV opening at about 6 inches of Mercury.
Once we get that accomplished, the manual boost controller will join the fray to prevent waste gate creep.
Then, with that accomplished, we can start working on stall speed... I'd like to see a consisstent foot-braked 3,000 rpm at first.
At least, that's that's the plan... but, you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice and men... LOL!
Wish us all KINDS of good luck; we're gonna need it!!!!!
What's up with the TOAD???
