Ok tonight without data logging i first tried to give it some more acceleration enrichment that was the wrong way as i did data log that and it just stumbled all over being to rich so i pulled that back out plus some more then i pulled some water meth out and it is better now i will data log and am sure i will need to pull some fuel out and maybe some more water / methanol . i do know one thing when i finally get this to where i can just slam it to the floor it is going to really be a hand full !

Methanol is fuel, so when you're on the spray, you should cut back a bit on the gasoline to maintain the same lambda.

Is your dyno working now? On the dyno it would be a good way to measure the difference with/without the water/meth.

no pmbrunelle that is another project that needs finishing but it would be helpful right now

Hi, I just read through almost the whole 54 pages of this over the last few days. I am off work for a couple weeks because I may have the dreaded COVID.
I skipped a few pages here and there, but i saw you saying it was for sale a while back, but you still have it. I am glad you didn't sell it. I read Shem's whole build too, you guys are awesome, saying how you hate bodywork, but you kick ass, my body work would look like a lumpy potato.
Anyway, love your build, want to see dyno runs and drag strip time slips, don't get rid of that car!!!!

Thanks Franked as i am not going to sell as i have to much into it and it seems people think they can buy it for next to nothing

Well it looks like the slipping belt is back so i will try one more thing by going back to a manual belt tensioner on 1 of the belts and if that does not work then i need to either go to a toothed belt or just pull the Supercharger and put a turbo on but i am pretty sure i will end up with the toothed belt as i do really want this to work .

Ok i just ordered this SBC drive kit for water pump and alternator it give me a crank pulley and i think the alternator pulley i will use on the blower as i think it is a 2 to 1 ratio so at 6500 the blower will be turning 13000 rpm but this will get me going to a non slip solution and it cost me $113 to start

one of these days i will get the Fiero engine tuned correctly as still can not go right to the floor but with what i can do it pulls hard i can't wait to see how it pulls when i can just jump on it as know it will be the fastest street car i have driven in both Quickness and top speed

Hmm walked back ignition timing 4 degrees but no change it is still showing knock even though i can not hear anything i am starting to think i might be picking up noise from something else but on the plus side i have made more progress getting it tuned now i can floor it and it goes but it is still about 10.5 to 1 mixture so it need some more leaning out in places
