Thanks for asking guys. It's running pretty good but the tune isn't done yet. I got the new fuel pump installed: Walbro 190 ltr/hr. Not a lot of fun dropping the tank in the cold but it's done.

I also found out that the stupid xtreme-fi adjustable fuel pressure regulator had my fuel pressure at 30psi! No wonder I was having flooding problems on startup! I didn't know it because I didn't have an adapter to measure the pressure with my gauge (I do now!) and just put the set screw in the middle of the travel.

I continued to backed out the set screw and measuring the fuel pressure, until it fell out. It's down to 17psi which is as low as it can go. That will probably work, but I'm not terribly impressed with the xtreme-fi AFPR.

So right now Brian sends me a new tune or two every day, and I capture datamaster logs and send them back to him. The $200 for his experience was well worth it. I still haven't tried another wide-open-throttle run. We need to get part throttle closer first. I do expect to pull a WOT blast in the next day or so. I'll keep you guys posted.
