running out of breath in the 1/4 mile
thanks for the replies guys
we had one guy say the /6 line is enough to get into the 12.s and another claiming this line is the restriction
any other thoughts on this?
(ill post a pic of my fuel filter set up later so you guys can eyeball that too)
any more thoughts on float level?
Do you have a fuel pressure guage?
no I don't, though I'm thinking I need to put it on the list now
Ima thinking the snowball is about to grow. :p
I lost it with the new software, but at some point I added the phrase "roll, snowball, roll" to my siggy
3.23s
I had a similar problem recently. My Dart was running out of steam at the top of 2nd gear. Found out the fuel sending inlet was 2" off the bottom of the gas tank.(Fuel sending unit is replacement junk) With 1/2 a tank of gas, the fuel was moving to the back of the tank and the inlet was sucking air.
the P.. said he had a new sending unit installed, that would have been maybe 2,3 years ago
but I have no idea what is was, as far as OEM, Chinese or whatever
I don't know if a 15 second pass is pinning you to the seat, but if you suspect the fuel is uncovering the pickup, just get most of the fuel out of it. Then just jack up the front end about a foot and a half and see if the car will continue to run after a while. You didn't complain about first or second gear much, so it would seem to be getting fuel. If it goes into third and then recovers, why is that. Maybe the gear is too steep although I doubt it with the hp you are claiming. That means the problem could be the ignition not firing well when it gets into a heavy lug position. Just guessing though.
it did not fall right at the 2-3 shift, but around that point
sometimes at the top of third, sometimes at the bottom of third
