Flashing CEL
So I'm driving yesterday, decide to get on it with four ppl in car. Takes off shifts down to first, starts boosting like normal. But it's moving slower then normal, I assume it's the extra weight. As car approaches redline (5000). Cel starts flashing. I back as soon as I notice, it flashes a few (2-3) times mire, then it's gone.
I have a scangauge, and even hit the scan button while it was flashing, no codes during or after.
I'm positive this can not be good.....Help!

that happens when I use my 2step, one of my boys has the wot box and that happens to him. In my case it will flash 3 or 4 times then stay on, check the codes and i get a blank and then get p0000. on the wot box it flashes then goes away with no code. If not using anything like that I would think it may have something to do with the coil packs, loose connection with managment, or maybe just some bad gas. IDK what els causes the cel to flash like that, like i said iv only seen that when using 2step

Extra weight will make it go through your map cells slower too so if it normally would skip over those cells due to faster revving because of less weight, then you might not have noticed it before. Running rich is no good either lol. Check plugs and tune.

Will do later this evening and report back. I know my tune was done when it was cold weather now it's summer like. I know I need to retune but anything specific to watch for when changing from winter to summer?
Crush I pull 7 degrees at full boost right around 7psi. I plan on pulling at little more since it is getting warmer out.

you maybe be pulling too much...
iv been playing around with the fic for quit a while and always pushing it just to see what i can get away with...so far iv been able to get away with pulling a max of 3degrees @ 8psi and tappering with a wot a/f of 11.5.
I suggest adding just a touch of fuel and try out pulling 4degrees @ 7psi and tapper it till you get comfortable with everything.
