G :?
still wondering the same ?
Only way he needs this much fuel is, there is a vacuum leak, barrel valve is screwed up and not getting full fuel, or the pump is weak.
I'm thinking the higher temp was due to perhaps over-leaning in the staging lanes and before the burnout box. I wasn't running the water pump or the fan on that run.
I had the Enderle 0-1/2 pump flow tested. It was 5.5 GPM. And the car did pick up between run #2 and run #3 when I changed the pill and put a little more fuel to the engine.
Could my oil spray be because, on decelleration at the stripe, the oil in the top of the head rushes forward to the vacuum pump pick up? Has anyone else encounter this?
I am gonna tear the vac pump down, clean it and check it out. Then hook the vacuum pump inlet hose into the #8 AN breather outlets on the valve covers I use for the header evac system. I will change to the 39 nozzles and an 80 pill and see what happens with the temp and the ET.
That explains the warm temps, but you always must run the water pump. Dont want hot spots.
The decelleration should be stopped with the moroso fitting in the valve cover as long as its not just some 12an fitting weleded to the valve cover, but I am sure you went through this and have the right fitting. You know the dirt track guys have a guard on the front of there breather canisters to stop dirt from coming it, possibly you could get a guard like this to stop air. Or stefs breathers suck air from the bottom and is incased.
Did you get a chance to drain the oil sense you've been home and be sure there is the right amount of qts of oil there ?
I have the correct Moroso fitting. It's the one they recommend with the hree small holes in it. I think that tying the vacuum inlet into the breather caps should stop the blowing oil.
I haven't had a chance to change the oil yet. I will do that on Friday.
