At the track yesterday, I finally got a chance to try out the LM-1 on race gas and high boost. On my first run I just left everything at street levels (17psi, 45 psi fuel) and got a nice pig rich 10.5:1 AFR all the way down the track. As I kept turning up the boost, I hit a best of 12.18 @ 112mph @ 23psi with no knock in third(except a couple of degrees on the shift, and a bunch of knock from the launch) and an AFR around 12.2:1 or so I turned it up to ~25psi. This resulted in my AFR starting to slowly climb after 4,500 RPM to a not so happy 13.8:1 by 5,000 RPM and detonation. Under 4,500 RPM it was a nice flat 12.5:1 or so.
My guess on this problem is that my 6 year old Walbro 307 is getting a bit tired and not able to keep up with demand at high RPM/high boost levels. I was also thinking that maybe i just need to richen up the top end of the fuel map, but I'd think the leaning out would show up no matter what the boost level is if that was actually the problem. I'm interested on what everyone else's take on this is.
I can post the LM-1 datalog if anyone is interested.
I also saw a big lean spike when the TCC locked up, and was wondering if that's normal?
