Log a run...that will answer all your questions. No need for guessing as that can lead you astray. 4th gear (higher load) is most likely seeing some knock and pulling timing. You don't always "feel" the effects.

I am trapping less than a stock IX. help guys please.
Sorry we couldn't talk much, it was a rough night for both of us It started to rain and I just hauled a$$. It was good seeing you and hopefully we can make up for it next time out. Shoot me a pm next time your going. I'll meet you out there whether I'm running or not. Good luck on finding out your issue...

It was a very rough night man, but at least I know that something needs to be taken care of in my car if it wasn't for the track I wouldn't have known until my retune. Hopefully this coming wednesday I will have everything sorted out and can head back out.

I also agree something is wrong. You certainly can drive since you have prior sub-12 sec passes.

Heck, I am a BAD driver, and I am trapping 114mph with about 385whp......and only a 12.5. Regardless of the time, you should still be trapping higher.

I think what it might be is car is running too rich. I will get the car logged and see what is happening. My wideband has been acting up lately i think I need to re calobrate it.

Welcome to my world good sir. Making 340whp on a mustang dyno pulling almost identical times as you. I am taking mine to buschur. I was informed that it may be either a boost leak or knock throughout the gears . Hopefully it will be fixed soon though. If either of them turn out to be the problem i will let you know how it goes.

For me it turned out to be the gas. Where I was putting gas the switch to 1-10% ethanol in the fuel that is at a Shell. I switched to Chevron with no ethanol and the car pulls hard as hell again with 0 knock.

Never would of thought of that. I'm glad it was the guess.
