Ok...
I gave in and decided to drag the damned thing off the work bench. After all I had converted the '84 GN to an '87 engine harness, the '87 motor set up, and will soon have a Turbonetics
-60 turbo to flow some real air through the Jack Cotton front mount.
The question is this... when I go into Global to create and set up the initial guestimate of how much horsepower, torque, fuel map, spark curve ect... HOW CLOSE DOES IT REALLY GET YOU TO THESE NUMBERS?
I wanted to be conservative and reach an attainable number so I typed in 420 horsepower at 5,200 rpm, and 440 lbs torque at 4,800 rpm, established a fuel PSI of 45lbs, and usage of the 36lbs injectors. A key stroke or two later the system creates a fuel map, spark curve, temperature enrichment ect.
I assume "Speed Density" is the proper configuration?
Am I overlooking anything? I installed the Casper's electronics plug and play wire harness to adapt it all into place. However, there is one unusual plug coming off from it that isn't plugging into anything "yet." It is a gray and red wire leading into it. I assume it requires a keyed ignition source? (If you need a digital pic I can provide it)
Mods... GN1 aluminum heads, Turbonetics -60 Turbo 4 inch inlet, Tery Houston 3" stainless downpipe, Jack Cotton front mount, 36lbs injectors but in Colorado's thin air I might get away with them? (or should I step up higher to 55lbs or bigger), a small CC's 206/206, singleshot ATR exhaust, 3.42 gears with 275/50/15 Nitto drag radials.
Throw some ideas out at me... looking for some experience before I end up twisting wrenches on changing headgaskets again.
