RE: was MAF BLM based tuning now cab manifold to port injection
Your cam is close to mine....
Hmm. Since I blew a head gasket this weekend( did I tell the list...can't
remember) I'm gonna pull the motor, get the seats done and do some work on
the exauhst short turn...
Which brings me to the next point...I'm gonna be putting the motor on the
dyno again.. and I'm giving up on the tpi intake....too much money for more
flow. I got a deal on a victor jr single plane, hopefully this will take out
some torque on the bottom end and give me a little more hp. With broder
torque range..
Still gona use port injection and all the sensors. Sooooooo..
Is anyone interested in a tpi plenum, runners and base intake, throttle
body, stock but ported, will make 400 hp/460ft-lbs with the right cam.
Oh ya have a gutted and ported maf too..

Dave,
I was asking about maxing the MAF, good thing you're not. What
is LV8?
Forgive my ignorance since I'm still new to this. Is GMEPRO a piggy
back
pc? I'd be interested in your notes of your tuning process. I'd be
particularly interested in how you burn the PROMs and how you know
how and
what to modify. I'm using 24lb SVO injectors and so far so good.
Sure
beats the hell out of paying twice as much for GM injectors. Here
is the
lowdown on my car: 1990 4 bolt main Chevy Truck block, SCAT stroker
crank
balanced both rotating and recipricating mass, 5.7 inch rods, Wiseco
9.3:1
comp forged pistons, SLP cam #51006(approximately 270adv.dur.)
roller cam,
Edelbrock Performer Aluminum heads with roller rockers and 24lb SVO
injectors w/fuel pressure regulator. Did I leave anything out? Oh,
also my
6 speed is a Borg-Warner aftermarket unit. The reason I went with
somewhat
low compression with aluminum heads is that I plan to add a Paxton
Supercharger. How is yours? Do you still have it installed? Keep
me in
touch.
