Been a minute since I updated this thread, so let me get ya'll caught up.
We've taken the S-10 out a few times. Got down to 3 cars in our first real race attempt, but the GRID ignition is not a fan of what we're trying to do. Very inconsistent. It also runs hot - PST's were intended to be towed to the lanes, make a pass, be towed back. Driving up isn't terrible. Making the pass isn't terrible. It's coming back on the return road that it builds heat fast. No real good solution there, just an inherit design that the underhood is aerodynamically sealed; Even with a big radiator fan, there's nowhere for the heat to go. Once the hood is off, it cools down fast.
Dakota has come out a couple times too. First trip out and it was dog slow. Found out the water injection is dumping way too much water. Unhooked it but no real change. Also had a huge oil leak.
Took some time to smear a bunch of permatex gray along the back of the intake manifold, replace the O-ring on the distributor shaft (FelPro 6464) along with the gasket (comes with the o-ring), and replace the trans cooler.
Went back on on Saturday, was still stuck in the 8.10's and 8.20's, about 12.40-50's in the 1/4.
Made a pulley change after going out second round of the race, tried and failed a couple experiments, then got a 12.15 out of it. Still way slow. RT's were good in race trim - .036 red, .035 green, .019 red.

Dad looked at the plugs, there's no heat or discoloration in the threads and soot on the bases. Also very little timing mark. He's thinking it needs more timing , less fuel, or both.
