[Land-speed] ???? Seems to be very Quiet..

[Larry Mayfield]

Well, g'day to you, My Harris!  Been a while since we last emailed.  A 
wet summer season...might be a dream I could wish for, lol. Being in 
Pahrump, NV, our average annual rainfall is less than 3 inches, mostly 
way less.  It sounds as iff you are readying for an assault on the salt 
this summer. I hope success comes your way.  What is the new ECU ?EFI 
system?  I also have to build my  fuel and spark tables along with some 
other  items hat are scalars constant to the motor.  I kept looking at 
the notion of fuel and spark and decided that the way for me, and this 
is for me only, lol, was to build my tables so that spark was safe and 
then fiddle with the fuel tables which are load and temperature based as 
well as RPM.  I rescaled the axes on everything to reach a 200% load 
level (boosted motor),  then data logged everything to make sure it was 
safe.  I don't have individual cylinder tuning since I use a sock Ford 
ECU with a programmable tuning chip but it works ok for me.  I hope to 
make it to the salt this year, but I am having trouble finding pistons. 
Even when I pay money to have them made, lol. Waiting for a set right 
now.  Also waiting for my crank to make it back from the grinder and 
balancer shop in SoCal area.

Maybe Sept or October for me...

Thanks for chatting! Always appreciated.
