Adam:
What header/pipe do you get the most power out of for your drag modified TZ-18 engines? Also, what are your thoughts about that particular engine for drag racing to 150 ft, and what kind of power are you getting out of it in drag modified trim? Thanks.

I'm about a gallon and just short of a quart into this engine with the 086 pipe. I've tuned it to about 1 -1/4 turns out on the HSN. Haven't touched the LSN yet because she takes off without bogging and almost no hesitation.
However, I am dealing with the high idle that won't idle down until after about 60 seconds. The engine has never seen over 250-255F and it's driving me nuts.. Any tips on what I can do to calm the idle sooner. This is always after a wide open run.
The wide open runs aren't too long because I'm still taking it a bit easy on it until the nuts drop..

Adam this engine is just straight killer and with a 13:30 run time. The power is instantanious and awesome. I used to run my os 25 mod from last year paired with the 086 but the OS 2060 is the match for this engine. I do not know what you have done but this thing is insane! Your R&D on this engine is top of the line.
