On Tony (toofast82) and SnowBoarder's suggestions, I am back with better temps and more stuff logged. I have my LC-1 logged, installed my Lowe's CAI, and just finished up changing to a 70/30 water/coolant mix with a new tstat and additional cooling fan. I also installed an O2 heat shield but I am still shield-less on the mani for now.

The attached log has a 2nd and 3rd WOT pull at about 300s. Outside temps were about 70 when I took the log and my IAT's never got over 80 (if anyone remembers they were 154 in my previous log). The only things I see that I think I need to work on are my timing table, it seems pretty low throughout the pull and I have very little if no knock at the top of 3rd, and my WB is reading 10.6 on both my gauge and in Link, should I try to work on getting that up around 11:1 or so? Not sure what is safe, I can get 94 at Sunoco but usually run 93. Currently the car has some 6-month old junk in it but it's almost completely out so I'll have better gas starting tomorrow.

Thanks again for any advice, I'm new to all this and I'm finding this and the Link forums to be a great resource for people wanting to learn.

Todd.

Disregard the WBO2 reading in this log, I need to get a new pull with an accurate WBO2 reading. I had the wrong wire connected to my gauge and Link which is why it *looked* as rich as it did (mostly at idle/cruise). I'm an idiot...
