Thanks mjr. I'm somewhat happy with the times until I get it tuned and put a little more money in my suspension. Then I won't be happy until low low 12's.

Running really rich isn't good. If you get unburned fuel building up it can get into the ring lands and unseat the rings and cause them to flutter, then you get uneven cylinder wear.

It only runs that rich when it's wot when the cars just started. If it's running for more than 3 mins it runs super lean at wot, and at idle and normal driving the afr is right on. I don't go wot much at all since it's not tuned.
