at home on sat morn and turned up the wastegate with a 6-9 lb spring. added 5 gallon sunoco gas. drove to town and topped off with 92 octane.
this is at 11am. racing starts at 12 in cedarfalls , it is a 1/2 drive. i have to be back by 2:15 for my boy's soccer game and i am a line coach.
so i am leaving town at a normal pace and suddenly the engine loses power and struggles to pull itself. i look at the fuel pressure guage and see about 5 psi. i pull into a parking lot and stop everything. pop the hood and see fuel sprayed every where. it seems that one of my injector bosses had slipped toward the intake by the fuel pressure pushing the fuel injector toward it. i had installed my injector bosses with epoxy, it was supposed to impervious to gas and good to 450 heat. well now the intake is getting pulled and they will be welded. i'll get a better run yet. tom
