Trying to get the plants as much carbon dioxide as possible so I drove the 92 to work every day this week (Friday is CWS for the Govt, so I'm done for the week today).

I ran the tank down to 2 bars today and looks like it is getting about 12mpg around town. Not to shabby considering how radical the engine is, 4.11 gear and an open loop tune. It's never getting above 195*F sitting in DC gridlock and running down the road in clean air the temp is hanging around 170-180*F (stock replacement GM Harrison radiator, Hypertec 160 stat and Mezier elect WP). The SPEC Stage 3 clutch is doing great for me, even in traffic.

People around here are still giving me some pretty strange looks in traffic or at lights.

I haven't been able to get up with Ed to re-tune it yet. My work schedule and his availiablity just arn't lining up yet. I did make some pretty hard pulls on the street with it the other night and the plugs actually look a bit on the rich side.... I'm contemplating buying a wide band, making afew more hard pulls and if it's safe on the AFR just taking it to the track as is. I'm sure its down on power using the old engines tune but time to re-tune is hard to come by.
