Blown alcohol A/F range?

As a "newbie", I was wondering what tuning range I should be looking at for good safe running.

We will be going on the dyno in a week or so to establish a baseline, but I like to get opinions on actual track parameter for my RacePak O2 sensors on alcohol.

Thanks...

DG

Anything in the 3s is safe. After that it matters if you have ntk or Bosch.

My blown LS wouldn’t run until 4.2 with NTKs. At 4.5 it was faster but it would lift a head at 4.6 or 4.7. That’s between 35-50 psi. With a bbc and less boost low 4s is probably ok but the plugs have the last say on anything I tune. If you chalk the second thread, youre in the danger zone.

I always record every run on the RacePak and review to see why the car did what it did or what happened.

O2 is just another tool.

We are baselining the engine on the dyno next weeked and will initially check the plugs every run to ensure safety and efficiency.

We don't usually check the plugs every run after getting consistent.
Usually, only if the TD slows down for some unknown reason or the numbers on the RacePak look odd.

Thanks!

We will be running the ProCharger with a carburetor.

Goes on the dyno for a baseline tune on Saturday!

Be careful with timing…

Starting on the dyno with 25 degrees lead.

Top Dragster is a fast bracket race and we will be happy with a consistent package that can run in the top half of the field in Div. 7.

Not looking for a 6.10 engine!
