Looks great Boomie... Congrats to you and Casey!

Up the "V-groove" of Blazer, or is there still that "eaiser" section on the right as you approach?

Tell us more of the dropping cylinders...

there is no easier side anymore, pretty much gotta get your front up on the left and walk the rear to the right till you get a line and shoot it. don't really know how state it really ran great till go to upper devil's brew then just laid on it's ass. running prolly on six of eight. thought i had it worked out so went today and flat ground watch out. runs like a scalded dog but put it in low range and play uphill for any amount of time and it just loses power. any ideas anyone?

new tps and tfi on it. of course plugs and cap and whatnot are all new. only coil, comp., map sensor are used i thinkand injectors

not map... you have maf (mass air flow)

My speed density setup has a map sensor... but I digress...

Hard tellin' without being at the thing... you know the drill... has to be one of four things... air, compression, fuel or spark...

Didn't you say that an injector was ugly or something?
Guess I'm just askin' if you're sure it's spark related?

You called Amos already and *****ed, didn't you?

On a FI motor that runs poorly uphill only I'd be looking at a fuel delivery problem. Pickup uncovering, weak pump, collapsing screen or hose, filter etc. Any chance something is shifting under load, including the engine, causing a fuel line to get pinched or a wire to rub? It's probably going to be something dumb.

i was telling a friend of ours that screws with 5.0l's alot in hotrods, and the first thing he asked was how were your injectors. he said to try and isolate which cylinders are cutting, then try swapping injectors and see if it changes anything. he thought it seemed fuel related too.

good to hear its working, we're hoping to get joey's and mine out on sunday before they head to the RCQ next weekend.
