I don't often cruise, but when I do it is at 15.5 AFR. I'm at 13 AFR at 101kpa and taper down to 11.0 at 12psi with a 2870. Granted, 11.0 might be a little rich but it is predominantly a track car and in a very heat-soaked environment. I put on a long sleeved shirt yesterday because it only got up to 87*F for a high.
I am definitely using the fuel cut in overrun as well.

Right now is engine build time.
I have purchased the following.
From 949 Racing:
8.6 Supertech forged pistons
ARP head studs
ARP main studs
ACL rod bearings
ACL main bearings
ACL thrust bearings
From Full Race:
M10 Inconel exhaust stud kit
From Rockauto:
clutch master cyl
clutch slave cyl
Already had on the shelf:
Crower I-beam connecting rods (no Chinese H-beam stuff here)
ported and polished NA cylinder head (was actually on miata2fast's shelf)
coolant re-route kit (yep, finally going to install it)
Devil's Own multi-port injection kit (may or may not install at this point)
And I have some additional heat control work to do.

Block is back from machine shop and short block is assembled.
I just set the head on it.
I also mounted my new super secret triple pass stock car radiator. It is a custom prototype. I think I will recommend he take advantage of about 1.5 inches of additional width available. It is also a little thicker than my Mishimoto 52mm.

Alright, head and intake manifold/injectors are on. I had to grind on the intake gasket to gasket match the intake ports. And the previous owner of the head removed the intake studs (you know who you are) so I had to take them all out of one head and put them in the other. Just taking time... I would post pictures but that isn't allowed by the mobile app right now.

Time to put the Deatschwerks 700cc's in.
Thanks, stranger! You must be making really good grades or have gotten a girlfriend or something, because you don't ever waste time on the forum anymore.

I would highly advise against the DW 700cc's unless you already have them. I was not happy at all with my DW 1000's, sold them and went to ID 1000's and they are 10x better. Well worth the extra expense to go to EV14 injectors.

I have to calculate the req_fuel change from 7.4 with my 460cc rx7 injectors to ?.? for the 700cc injectors and change the injector opening time (milliseconds) to reflect the new injectors. I think that is all I will need to do to swap them. I haven't read up on that stuff in a while and will need to double check what all I need to change.
