Well, also keep in mind that the 13.60 run is the *only* 1/4 mile run
I've done with the 4.56 gears. For all I know I could have done
another run and been faster. I quit after that run because I was
tired and very satisfied just to be in the 13's. :-)

Possible. The mechanic noticed that the PCM pulls a lot of timing out
during acceleration. Maybe too much, but with my compression I'd
rather be on the safe side as far as that goes.

My guess is that I'm too deep in the gears. 4.91 is pretty deep.
<grin> I did have A/F checked on the dyno. Check it out, it's along
