Well if you are sure that it is running rich then put on the AFPR and also a gauge and then adjust it down a bit and drive it. You can have it dyno tuned to get the most of it. I would assume that with 3.73s there should be no problem spinning the tires. Heck even my bone stock 2.73 vert will roll em a few feet off the line and mine is a vert. By the way where do you have your timing set at. I hope at least 12 or 14 BTDC. Quite a few people even get to 16 or 18* BTDC.

the puter will try and keep the A/F trim stoich. a wideband or tune would be revealing as to richness.

good luck Curt.
