well i did find out my map sensor plug was bad, causing no readings randomly. could have very well been the reason. anyways, i found one apex seal broken, with no other damage. i figured the map sensor plug problem upon trying to get the car off the trailer the other day, i opened the laptop and the map sensor was reading default. i fixed that, took it to the track and beat it to hell.....still runs!

PS: i did build it and dyno it the next day

that is one nice FC you got! A lot of rotaries, too bad I couldn't stay pass 6 (had the wife with me and she had to work early next day......may be next time I know better ) and enjoy some of the racing. Props for you guys that came from out of town to show your bad rides
