My fuel pressure regulator seemed to have changed, so I set it back to 39, and have been watching it. Today I went back to the dyno to make sure my a/f ratio was right.
I was glad I went. On the first pull, the ratio went up above 13:1 at 5000 rpms.
After some tuning and dialing in, I got it leveled out and added a little timing. Over all I stopped at 19* total timing. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. The a/f ratio is pretty safe, and the car held together. Now I just need to put the new 31 spline axles and diff in the car and head to the track.

Here is the dyno sheet.

That looks pretty outstanding. I'm suprised (in a good way) that the street heat carries you out that far! Guess it just proves that I need to learn more about forced induction! Nice work.

I was seeing about 10 PSI of boost.

I am pretty surprised by how well the combo has done. this is the first car I have ever really tried modifying, so I half expect it to blow up each time I put my foot to the floor.

The traction isn't too bad since I got the new 315 Nitto drag radials. 1st gear spins at any time, and if I really get on it, I can spin them through second. But a little feather on the shift to second and it will hook up and go.

So far I have done all the work and tuning myself.

The closest track to me is Rock Falls Raceway. It is a little south of Eau Claire.
I think GLD is about 250 miles from me. Someday I would like to go there, I have heard good things about it.

Really good numbers!

What size meth nozzle are you using?

What psi are you starting the meth injection?

So far it is an untouched stock short block. I know it is on borrowed time, hopefully its time won't run out before this winter. My plan is to have a Dart Sportsman 364 built and upgrade the fuel system.

I have the 375 ml nozzle in there. I thought about upgrading to the next size nozzle, but it seems to be running so well, I hate to mess with it, and I don't think I should be looking to get too much more out of the stock block.

Right now I have it set so that it starts spraying the Meth/water at 2 PSI, and it is full on by 9 PSI

Not bad, I would expect a little more than 19 degrees total. Im running 21 degrees total w/ stock iron heads w/ No problems. You should be able to run 21-25 degrees total w/ those aluminum heads.

I would like to try and turn the timing up a little bit just to see what I could really get out of it, but I think I'll wait till I upgrade the lower end.

Nice numbers! Even better is the nice flat A/F curve.

I would also say that you should be able to see more total timing, especially with the meth kit. However, I don't have proof as I also do my own tuning but I haven't messed with tuning for meth (so that comment is pure speculation as there are alot of things that play into the equation). I think I will be putting one on this winter so thats probably going to change, lol.

Congrats on the 500+rwhp. I like showing people how tough these little 302's are and that we can get it done with a completely stock bottom end. I personally have 151,000+ miles on my untouched bottom end. Im also happy to see other really simple combos getting it done. My a/f was just a touch richer than yours and timing is the same.
