[BadAssPerformance]

LOL.. reading suck!

Here is a pic that Jeff got of the Z in front of the Camaro before it lifted

sweeeeeeeeeeet!!

[shadow88]

Very sweet. What are your settings now? boost, max rpm, timing, a/f ratios, you know, the good details.

[BadAssPerformance]

15psi, 7k, 12°, 11:1

[shadow88]

Looooooots left in that engine. Very nice. When does the boost get gradually turned up?

[BadAssPerformance]

Gonna do some higher boost testing this weekend.

Dammit! About time, 25 PSI here we come

[BadAssPerformance]

Almost there, just got back from a test drive... it runs pretty good at 20psi so far

Was on one of the local tuning roads (keep in mind I live just outside of Chicago city limits so this is not exactly a wide open country road) and logging in 3rd... and at the top of 3rd I saw a squad car in the distance so did a hard brake check and luckily never saw him again.. it was a 40mph zone.

Be careful out there JT. I would imagine that there are actually cars that could run into you up there.

I need to test in tune in your neck of the woods Cordes!

Update...runs well at 23psi... 9.5:1 A/F

Wow that must be really scooting along for sure.

Don't be shy if you want to check out roads that are straight as an arrow with nothing on them for 5 miles at a time. Heck, my house is about 150 yards from a road with 1/2mi. of US45 with no driveways, intersections etc. It makes for some convenient tuning.

[BadAssPerformance]

It seems to pull well.. need more boost, its like crack!

5 miles of straight would be killer.. how far are you from here again? 3-ish hours? I might be able to find a useable road a little closer...

Yeah, about 3-3 1/2 depending on if you drive really slowly on the freeway like I do.

You could always throw some junk brakes pads and stuff on therer, and just use the brakes to load the engine. You can then tune at a lower, safer speed.

Of course if you have the 11" brakes like me, that's kinda hard to find "junk" parts! LOL

[BadAssPerformance]

That would be an option except that I need to data log through the whole rpm range... 6500rpm in 3rd ~ 100mph

Drag them in second.

[BadAssPerformance]

True, I can get a good data log in 2nd, it just got really short with the added boost.

[Reaper1]

But if you load the car down with the brakes, then it shouldn't be SO short...maybe LOL

yeah, I was surprised at just how easy it is to manipulate the car with the brakes so you can tune at a given RPM. I tried it out the day after the tech session on the way back from taking Joy to the train station and haven't stopped since. It works great.

[BadAssPerformance]

Thats the thing tho, I'm not looking at a set RPM, rather a sweep thru the RPM at a given psi. All my tables are MAP vs. RPM and I can overlay the log directly on them so one good pull is all you need
