So, what did you do today?

Took the 55 to TWS today and ran it for 15 to 20 minutes (yep 4.5 hours round trip). Ran perfect. Only difference in the car from when it bent the intake valves and melted the plugs last Oct. is the fuel and two steps colder plugs. I have no idea what octane was brought to me at Hallett that we put in the car after R4 then loaded it on the trailer but I know it had 93 in it today and it ran perfect. Last Oct. it messed up by T6 on the second lap first session out. I hate that it happened but hope it was just low octane fuel and not a problem waiting to return.

I know you're not a big fan of carrying a ton of fuel on the trailer, but just being able to get four jugs to the track would save you a lot of running around and depending on local fuel supply. I myself have a 6 jug rack simply because I don't want to risk getting crappy fuel in OK, and being in Houston I get the best prices down here than anywhere else. I usually end up having enough fuel for three days with a little leftover that I just dump in the truck's tank.

Have u ever removed your fuel injectors and had them properly flow tested and cleaned? Cleaning them makes a big diff in consistency.

Nope.

Nope.

I used these guys (Mike Montgomery's recommendation) and was pleased with their service/speed. They are in San Antonio. I think it was $200 total once I paid shipping both ways.

I have used these guys, $18/injector to test+clean, gives you a nice before/after printouts. Located down here in Houston https://www.injectorrx.com

Damn that is pricey, I got the injectors in my car for $50, they were new, no one wants 19lb injectors so I guess thats a good thing. I wonder how close they flow out of the box.

[Pranav]

Just depends on how they were cared for and stored. My very first engine start wouldn't happen until I had them cleaned out big time, completely clogged. Had them cleaned again when I found junk from the 20yr old factory supply line was clogging them back up again.

Now I run all new PTFE line and a 1 micron fuel filter, shouldn't need to mess with that again...

I would to learn more about injectors if anybody is in the know. After Sean's hydraulic lock from a stuck open injector, I am thinking replacing malfunctioning injectors with new ones is the safest way to go. My only experience is with a low miles engine that had been sitting long enough for the gas in the rail to go bad. It wouldn't run without replacing the injectors.
