    Salvage V6, The boost was hard to read since the needle was all over the place (vibrating), but I did see it flash to 24psi. This is with C116 leaded fuel and timing set to 26* via a TT race chip all on a dynojet dyno. I should run it up to 28* and see what happens. I think this Texas...

    Please help... I have 3 questions

    Well guys, The car pulled 326/395 with an 11.8 A/F almost through the whole rpm range. Air temp was 94*; this was an above ground dyno, so getting a decent amout of air was a little difficult since you cannot put a fan(s) directly in front of the car. I did 6 pulls and 3 of those...

    Okay, so the F pin option on the ALDL will NOT cause the trans to violently hit and thus heat up the trans too much? You said pull to 5,500...man, we pulled to 6,200 last time! 11.5 to 11.6...cool. I'll see how she does at that setting. But I will try 11.9 and see what comes out. When my...

    Okay guys, Here is what happened to me, I blew an oil seal out of my TE-44 about three weeks ago, it was oil coming out if the space between the exhaust turbine and the DP running down to my wastegate flapper and dripping on the lower radiator hose. In other words, it was oil every freaking...

    My Dyno results, what do you think?

    Yeah, I guess your are right. I will put the FP back to 43psi static and dial my fuel from the #1 parameter settings. Turning up the boost was scary to me since I already had it dial to 25psi:eek: I also noticed that the dyno operator did not know how to lock up the converter...one of the...

    My Dyno results, what do you think?

    I agree with you guys. Oh yeah, I am NOT a dyno numbers lover...no sir. I noticed the fatness of the A/F while it was being pulled...it was fat. I've tuned other cars there, so I trust that dyno. You are right, track MPH will tell me what is going on, I just want to get her dial in as...

    My Dyno results, what do you think?

    Hello boosted friends, Well, after many adjustments on the streets and three failed track visits attempts (rain), it was time to take advantage of some free dyno time. My car has: a TE-44 (23psi)/Dutt neck/3"THDP with dump/MSD 50psi/340 with hot wire/TT race chip/ATR true dual 2.5...

    Fuel Pressure Problem

    Heck dude, I'm running 740's O2 readings, 25psi of boost with 117 race fuel and NO KNOCK. After many, many testing, I learned that O2 readings numbers are just that...numbers! Each car is different...some may like O2's in the 800's while others in the mid to low 700's and not hurt a thing. I...

    Turbo Tweak Chip... need some help..

    The TT chips work great...Parameter adjustments are very simple. When you get your car straight, you will see just how easy it is.

    stupid cobra!

    Don't race dyno sheets, Race the driver! I've beaten a bag full of those cars with my old Heads and Cam FRC C5 Corvette. Many of them around here cruise around show off their lovely dyno sheets, and I don't care...I race the driver and for cash too! The moral of my story, don't get...

    TurboDave/Bison/VadersV6/RUQWKNF and Pacecarta almost got me KILLED!

    Thanks Patrick, I'm ordering the chips as we speak. I don't know the brand of gas, but I do love the way it smells. It smells much better than the red 103 unleaded stuff I use on my 9.80sec 2006 Vette.:D

    TurboDave/Bison/VadersV6/RUQWKNF and Pacecarta almost got me KILLED!

    Right Pacecarta, My discussion with Eric was back then when I was JUST getting started with pump gas. Since then I played with my set up trying to find a good tune. I have not posted over there because over there one can post a question today and NOT get an answer for about two days or more...

    TurboDave/Bison/VadersV6/RUQWKNF and Pacecarta almost got me KILLED!

    Yeah Bison, I will be waiting...this bites! All the efforts of late night testing and money spent for racing gas (10.50 X 20 = $210), plugs (two swaps), sensors (two swaps) fuel filter (two swaps) and all I was doing was chasing my tale. This is what I get for listening to some of the...

    TurboDave/Bison/VadersV6/RUQWKNF and Pacecarta almost got me KILLED!

    Okay Pacecarta, You are right, it makes perfect sense to me now...I just had to put on my thinking cap for a minute.:biggrin: Now here is my problem. I just realized WHY my car never had the right amount of fuel on top to begin with. When I ordered my TT chip back in early Dec '06, I...

    TurboDave/Bison/VadersV6/RUQWKNF and Pacecarta almost got me KILLED!

    So Mr. Pacecarta and Mr. Yullose, What you guys are telling me is that I will run fatter on top (higher O2 readings possibly) if I WERE TO LOWER MY STATIC FUEL PRESS FROM 52psi down to 43 or 45psi??? I seems that I would run very lean if the FP is not increased...help me...

    TurboDave/Bison/VadersV6/RUQWKNF and Pacecarta almost got me KILLED!

    Pacecarta, To your point, I adjusted the fuel press up from 48psi to 52psi static in an attempt to increase/richen my O2 readings in 3rd gear. It worked somewhat, my readings went from 740/722 TO 769/738. As you know, at the begining of 3rd gear the number is higher, and as the O2 heats up...

    TurboDave/Bison/VadersV6/RUQWKNF and Pacecarta almost got me KILLED!

    Thanks guys. Weather permitting, tomorrow I will make my way to the track and test her out with some real shoes and NOT with my originals 215-65-15 GY tires. I can't find a torque strap between now and tomorrow, but I'll bet that you guys have some ideas as to how to make my own one by...

    First, let me thank TurboDave, Bison, VadersV6, RUQWKNF and Pacecarta…you guys helped realize that I was not crazy and that one cannot always follow conventional wisdom when it comes to tuning these GN’s. I started my GN life with a simple original 26,450 miles almost 100% stock example, and...
