Short Vid of my car

I finally took some footage of my car. This was 10lbs of boost in 90 degree weather.

Nice setup! I have a Vortech ysi setup and made about the same on the same boost.

Do you happen to have a dyno sheet? Mine is breaking up after 4900 rpm and trying to figure it out!

Thanks. No dyno sheet to post. Funny, mine breaks up alittle above 5000rpm also. (you can kinda hear it in the vid right before it shifts into 3rd) It doesnt always do it tho. I think its the distributor pick up. When it does it the tach starts freaking out too.

I like the ending... Looks pretty nasty. Nice car.

Re: Short Vid of my car

Sounds pretty healthy! Never ridden in a turbo V8 car....I've gotten used to my blower I guess. There's no mistake as to whether I'm in boost or not - the high pitched whine is a dead giveaway. You turbo seems silent in comparison, but it seems to move out pretty well!

EDIT - It woulda been better without the ride around the block, and more straight line boost footage though...lol

Haha, yeah, i wanted alittle view of street manners. I have an exhaust cut out and it was open, when its closed and running thru the full exhaust, all you hear is turbo.

Re: Short Vid of my car

Breaking up up top is usually too big a plug gap or too much load on the ignition (more cylinder pressure- harder to fire the plug, more rpm, not as much time to charge the coil/not as hot a spark).

Tach freaking out- what are you running for an ecm? I ran into that in my formula when I went from '165 (and mask, even ausi '808 stuff) to SD (730 with any mask including some of the sy/ty stuff..., 3 different ecms). I was never able to figure out why...

Im running a 749 ecm. Im going to put new plugs and wires in it and see what happens. It needs to be done either way.

Re: Short Vid of my car

Let me know as I'm interested. I've tightened my plugs and got a new coil on the way.

Re: Short Vid of my car

Hey man, just wanted to add that at least on the street a new coil fixed my problem.

Update us on yours when you do the new plug/wires. My plugs are gapped at ..015, but not sure if I need them that tight with the new coil...
