I see you went with the SS gimbal ring... What did you think of it? (That is the one we were talking about I believe)

Its on my list of things to set $$$ aside for next season.

Found it used here locally for $600 (half price). Looked like it had never been installed.

The MAP I had was wayyyy over fueled. Ran good from idle to 2400, but then fell on it's face and spit black smoke out the back.

Broke down and bought the MEFIBURN.com kit for $600. They supplied me with starter MAP based upon the motor specs. Uploaded it in the driveway and it sounds sooo much better. No black smoke at start up either. Gonna water test it Thursday or Friday and hopefully fine tune the settings.

Put about 15 hours on it so far so should be good and broke in by now.

Spent the better part of 3 hours on the water yesterday. Got a gremlin somewhere. Eliminated the Knock sensor system and it didnt change a thing.

Gotta test the MAP, TPS and Distributer next. Something at 2500 rpms is throwing the system in safe mode. I know when I find it, it will be obvious, simple and probably overlooked.

Heading to the water now.

Just curious if your problem happens at 2500 RPM when you run the motor on water muffs? Will revving the motor in neutral set it off or is it an operating under load issue?

I was having some coffee this morning thinking about your dilemma. Is it possible the fuel system cannot keep up with fuel demand?

One of the better ideas I have in those situations involves letting a competent buddy look at it for a moment, see what they notice. Sometimes walking someone through an issue you end up solving the issue yourself or they point out the obvious. Hope you get her dialed in. The summer is on the downward spiral here...

Its only under load. put the motor in neutral and it revs to the moon. put it in gear and 2500 is max.

I installed a brand new Aeromotive fuel pump, connected to a fuel cooler and aeromotive vacuum regulated adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Gauge on regulator never drops below 38 lbs and sits steady at 41 at idle.

thats why Im thinking MAP sensor or distributor myself.

But im gonna start over and re-install the distributor, re-time, re-set throttle plates, new plugs and re-test. I picked up today a brand new TPS, MAP and Knock sensor & module and have a spare MEFI 1 box to use as well. There just nothing left after that.

Ill figure it out Im sure. Im just not there yet.

All else fails, Im dropping a Brodix high rise, 850 dominator and a MSD and I know that will run.
