Hello everyone... new member here with a question.
A few months ago, I purchases my dream car, a Saleen S351. The car is everything I hoped it would be, and more. Although I don't drive it much, I LOVE it!
It has one quirk which I'd like to get worked out. The car falls on it's face at just over 5,000 rpm. Right around 5,100. It has increadible power up to that point, very fast! I had initially blamed the problem on the MSD ignition which was installed before I bought the car. I figured the rev limiter might be kicking in. This turned out not to be the case.
I decided to watch the fuel pressure while under boost, thinking the car may be leaning out at 5k. I didn't notice what I would call a significant increase in fuel pressure at full boost. Maybe 5-6lbs increase. Since the car is not equipped with an FMU, I didn't expect a HUGE increase, but more than 5-6lbs.
So my question is, what kind of fuel pressure are you fellow S351 owners seeing under full boost?
My car is equipped with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and static fuel pressure is set at around 35lbs. I'd like to hear some feedback before I start tinkering with the regulator.
Thanks!
Any other idea's/opinions or possible culprits are also welcome!
