That's De. He is there (under cover) to represent the So Western section, and make sure that everyone's fun meters are on "MAX". He has been instructed to report back to me on any fun meter deficiencies for further revue.
My forward scouts tell me that he is doing an outstanding job, so far.

Bucket list item checked off. Man and machine, about 1700 miles. Ran 10.6 thurs and 6.7 in the 1/8 and then fri and sat ran 6.8's consistently. I'm not doing that ever again, but having made it back, wow that was epic. I'll have to tell the story right soon with pics and video. Just a teaser, at one point on the return trip, at night, in the Tennesee mountains, around midnight, shivering cold, by myself, I called up JD and Julio to help diagnose over the phone. They were about 50 miles back, and I was losing power, missing, and running very lean at speed (16+ afr and my scamaster was showing 1.0 afr higher than my aem gauge). Ever run in batch mode to test cam sensor, then run worse, and have to go back to running 51psi actual fuel pressure to get some fueling added in an old school fashion simply to get mid 14 afr to correct a miss? In north Georgia at one point I was running on 4 cylinders and re-crimping a spark plug wire that pulled apart when I was going to do a plug change with 600 or so miles to go. To get through this mentally, I thought of Rambo 4, where they all just want to go home, but Rambo said something to the effect of, "there isn't one of us that wants to be somewhere else, but this is what we do, this is who we are..."

I don't know yet. My 4 inch intake did have a hole in it, and that's as far as I got. I bet my stock is shredded too, it was dark when I put it on, I may have torn that too when throwing it on at night, which would explain lean fueling on a light load, and how it ran great and got good fuel numbers at 0 psi boost. That is what JD first suggested as a problem. Will confirm what it was sometime this week. Definitely need a narrow and wide band change and a plug and wire change too.
