Thanks to the hints on the board, I solved the morning start backfire by tweaking the cam sensor CCW about 1/16" - no more backfire!
With that out of the way, I'm working on the drivability. The fuel system has been upgraded, but otherwise the car is stock (see sig).
If I take of from a light (no powerbrake), I get a nice healthy bark on the 1-2 shift and 16-17 PSI boost. Unfortunately, things go down hill from there. Once in second gear, the boost drops to 13-15 (hunting) and the same in third gear. I'm at a loss as to why?
If I can get 17psi in first, I don't think my cat is clogged, or it wouldn't be able to get up to boost, right?
T-link is showing no knock, no retard, and 820-830s mv. A bit rich, but safe - or too rich? EGTs never break 1400, though I don't push it through the top of 3rd.
Any ideas why the boost might be hunting?
Thanks!
