it is easy to add a ground strap to one of the bolts that holds the starter on motor(assuming you don't run longtubes). The starter is also the part that needs the voltage/current as much as possible.

The car is in the shop, and there isn't anything that I can report first hand as far as enjoyment goes. Once I get the car back, drive it around some, I will do a full report.

Misfire finally resolved, it was the faulty coil that was causing it to break up above 5000 rpm. Tuning is resumed. This project isn't moving as fast as I would like, but there is a reason for it, and that's because it's done with a HUGE hookup in mind, which is why it's been on a back burner for the cars that actually bring in the income. Another slight snag was that 5th gear let go during the test drive, but that turned out to be the snap-ring, which is apparently a common issue, but it's new for me.

Update: 91 octane tune is finally complete. The car now makes 383 rwhp at 6100 rpm and 387 rwtq at 4300 rpm. The the car makes at minimum 300 rwtq from 2500 all the way to redline of 6500 rpm. For comparison, here is the old tune on stock ECU with SCT chip (in green) vs MS with new tune (in red)

My buddy who's tuning the car has spent a lot of time researching how to properly make the distributor equipped cars work well with stand-alone, especially when it comes to timing. This is easily the most power this has has ever made on pump, E85 numbers should be available soon.

Just to put in perspective how efficient this combo is for the outsiders . This was the first time I dyno’d my 95gt on 9 psi with a d1sc ,valve springs ended up needing to be replaced and the car picked up a ton of power .

Looking forward to the e85 results because that things a monster on pump gas , I’d love to have a combo like that.70370642189__3099096A-9850-494C-A1AF-BF94A6825E8A.jpeg

I don't know how much more there's in it with E85. I'm hoping it will break the 400 mark, that would be splendid

Well, E85 tune is in. It didn't gain any more peak power, but it gained after peak, so instead of rolling over, the curve just stays flat all the way to red line. The car also runs cooler at wide open and E85 is about $2 a gallon cheaper than 91, so it's all a bonus. Getting the car back tomorrow, and Tuesday I'm scheduled to bring it for filming. I'll share more info, once I can

A little side by side action, but that's 2007 and my first track day at Streets of Willow, and yesterday, roughly 18 years apart. Kind of insane that I still have the car, and it's still evolving.

A small teaser of what's coming soon to YouTube. Let's see if anyone recognizes the camera truck
