What's your fuel system setup and were you watching your fuel pressure?

No way, my fuel is the extreme from rx7store.net. 2 fuel pumps, their fuel rail, 850cc primary and 1620 secondary.

No theories yet, i have to start the teardown. Im gonna send the injectors off to have them flowed and tested, maybe one was lagging. Probably gonna upgrade the primaries to 1000cc's. Im tired of dickin around with only 500rwp

The alky system was working fine and the afrs didnt look out of the norm. I didnt really have time to pay attention to the gauges closely at 140mph

It may have been the isopropyl alcohol, it doesn't have near the cooling properties of plain water or meth. I'm curious why you were running that over methanol?

how many miles on it????
**** that. I can spray a stroked Vortech'd LS2 all day and still make more power than your 20B. Not saying anything bad about rotarys but when I blow mine again I want to make more power and do it RELIABLELY........
