It sounds ok, but I think I would start with a little less timming on a 125 shot...Maybe around 6-8 degrees, you can always bump it up and it's safer too....

What fuel pump are you running, 190lph?..

255lph intake/bbk adj. fuel reg./24pd injectors
thanks for the support
so far i took it to the track(1/8 mile)
and scored a 7.56 @91-1.66 60ft(75 shot-.42jet)
at 10 degrees 44psi fuel.
125shot-.67jet
then lowerd the timing to 8 ,set the fp to 47psi
it ran real strong till 330' mark
a small pop sound happend right as i power shifted to 3rd?felt like it ran on seven after that then cleaned up [Confused]
i got scared and put the other jet back in [Big Grin]

You changed the fuel and the timming?...You should only really change one thing at a time if you're trying to tune your car...

For example, keep your FP the same and mess with timming, and vise versa...

Was the pop from the exhaust or the intake?...Could you tell?...

If it was your intake "popping" then you need to change your timming...

then again im not sure if it was the intake
my buddy said hear heard me in the parking lot
when i ran.
i bumped up the fuel with the 125 shot
to 48ish cause my kit said anything below 39 psi
is unsafe.
i think maybe my fuel pressure is still a lil'low
for the 125. i'll drop the timing some and try it again with the same fuel psi

my car runs awesome with the 75 shot.
i starting to think maybe i didn't purge all the air outthe lines. i don't know [Confused] whatever
thanks for the advice bro.i'll let you know how it goes.
