From some pics you posted awhile back I bet you have a better idea than me. But would be with the first guess you suggested being timing. Wasn't yours a mistake made on the timing you made while at the track?

No, it was a hardware issue with the E11. Apparently hooking up the injectors isn't enough, i guess you have to turn the channels on in the setup page. I did all the hard work the damn computer should have known what i wanted to do

I was right. Well all I can say is making big power and laying it down in a rotary is never been easy. Did he discuss with the bulder-tunner, A. Lopez? Heard he went 6.3's. What tranny did he end up going with?

mid 7's from a past post on the thread I posted. Not sure were the limit is but I would think with a dead on tune and everything else set up right that that would still not be the issue. Besides he already said on 20psi or 38psi it keeps breaking. So it doesnt sound like a power issue but a timing issue. But what do I know.

If its leaning out that could be it. Were you logging the passes?

I bet you get that issue resolved and go clutches and you will have a 5 second car.
