I am now the official PITA of the neighborhood!

I been out tuning and chasing down bugs in my car.Been doing alot of seat time in from of my house trying to get the idle down,and part throttle acceleration enrichments.My Neighbor was bitching up a storm today,telling me my car stinks and is loud Had my window down and when she started crabbing I rolled it up,lol.Anyways,I have to apologize,tuning is tuff,Im learning the hard way.I am getting the belt to stay on though.only made up to 128 kpa,dont know what it is in inches though but this is what my datalog shows,datolog records in metric i assume.The one thing that is really got me happy and delighted is my cooling system.I have a bone stock radiator,duel fans,no ac,and a edelbrock pump,can anyone believe my car runs at 170?And it was in the 70s today and very humid.Well Ill be back to tuning as after this weekend.Almost there.

on a side note,anyone who says the miniram has no torque need his head examined.I cant even keep the rear tires planted at any less than 40 mph when I punch it.Car is a beaat on the top end,unbelievable.

Looks to be about 19 or so PSIG (via my calc's), but that seems pretty high to me. does it sound right?

128kpa is actually pretty low. That is about 4psi.

Glad to hear it!

Darren, how much hp are you putting down to the pavement? Are you running a 305, 350 or what?

Thanks for the compliments guys.I am preety sure i only took it to 3500.But I notice no difference between the TPI vs the miniram down low,vigilante helps too.Nitrous Al I have a 355.It built for the blower 9 to1 compression.This is all I can tell you though,when i had it built it was dynoed with a carb,put out 400hp at 5800rpm and 410lbft at 4800.Add the 12lbs I plan to run,I assume I will get at least 500 to the wheels,If I up the boost who knows.Pretty good power It will be enough for me for a bit,my wallet need to recoup before I plan another engine.If I do Im doing what Guido did,406,thats an awesome engine.

Have you been to the track this year??

I'd like to see your supercharger setup up close.. I'm thinking about going that route
for next season.
