you need to track tune, make a change every pass and see how it responds.

the brother would track tune the Capri every time it went out, i remember one night jetting changes etc netted as much as 4/10's and 5mph difference. would just check the plugs in the deep end and adjust from there.
I forgot to add that the day the engine was run in & dyno'd was stinking hot mid Janruary, inside the dyno was like a sauna

I dont have any data logging or AFR meter
Can you suggest a reasonable quality AFR meter?
Ive done a grand total of 12 passes in this (or any car) at the drags (Ive done a fair bit more than that on a bike) but the trans & converter feel OK to me. Trans is a dynamic racing C4 from the US & an allfast converter

Im going to try a different exhaust system at the track, & as you say make some jetting changes after reading the plugs at the end of the track

Possibly upgrade the fuel pump as well

This is one of the passes on the night
