Power was so low we didn't proceed with the "110 Octane Track Chip".

 

Motor must be hurt or trans

Or sure all plugs are firing?

I believe that’s your name.....could you post a picture of the dyno sheet

-Sergio

 

Here is the last run...

 

Wait......is that Sixseries dyno sheet? It lost power?
Who made 336hp361tq?

 

For one it looks lean but thats only gonna be worth a few ponies. Graph doesnt look all that smooth

 

It is very lean, it could be knocking and pulling timing which is power. Find out why it is so lean.

 

There was no knock, the dyno was acting up causing erratic readings.
the run before was 13.2 AFR all the way across. Same HP a little more TQ.

 

What was the uncorrected numbers from both runs ?

 

Here is the previous run...

 

 

Status Update:

Summer 2018 - Having Fun!


Irwindale Dragstrip 2018

I drove around with a disconnected Throttle Valve/Kickdown/Detent Cable and of course the Transmission went out... Foolishy tried to Dyno the vehicle in this state so I burned $80.00 at MD Automotive on August 4th 2018 Albeit, I eventually replaced the Throttle Valve/Kickdown/Detent Cable with a unit from O' Reilly's at $20.55 it was too late

Vendor $$$ Cost Comparison

Dan @ Community Transmission recommended a Transmission Cooler & New Transmission Cooler Lines which aren't included in the estimate. He's also concerned with the Transmission Case being wrapped...

Caspers Electronics TPS Enhancer @ $116.84


102015 - TPS-TEC THROTTLE ENHANCER

 

Didn't know it was a thing. Never had a "slow" throttle response from a tuned port

 

Its not a thing, it just makes the TPS voltage the computer sees higher, so the computer thinks the throttle is open more than it really is. Supposedly that would make the computer give more fuel and timing sooner, but if you add more fuel without the incoming air to support it, you'll just be rich.

 

@Kevin91Z How have you been? Let's get together for a Data-Log Session soon. I'm still searching for those elusive 400ft-lbs of Torque from my Tuned Port Injection setup

 

Excited about the weight reduction!

OE GM Vibration Damper

Many Moons have passed and I bought another Firebird before I finished this project…

Oil Pan & Timing Cover Gaskets were replaced but one the bolts wasn’t tightened. Since some of the Bolts were missing some were replaced and some weren’t, so they're mismatched. The Oil Pan Rail Girdles weren’t installed because I didn't have them readily available when I sent the car out for service. All, in-all dissatisfied with the quality of the work performed…


Oil $38.14 & Filter $17.08

Drain Plug $
