Hey JD thanks for your contribution...
But are u hecklin me sayin i'm doin somethin wrong??


"what ***** ---- up" - by Joseph Davis
"what grinds my gears" - by Peter Griffin


But i hear ya... i've blown up a couple D's in the past... they REALLY dont' like detonation.

Driving the car w/ out listening on the det cans, you can't hear anything audible... But w/ the Detcans on, we could hear it.... I got it all pulled out too. Fuel is fixed to about 12.1 to 12.5 average. It's around 12.5 in the lower half of the rpm range, and 12.3 to 12.1 in the upper RPMS.

It is tuned very conservatively right now, but i want this engine to last a long time, so i'm taking my time w/ the tuning, and LEARNING A LOT through all this. I tuned my D engines as well, and my last D ran mint... @ 23psi... Only problem was my sleeves couldn't handle the power, and i got a hairline crack in the sleeve. Next mornin went to start it and it hydro locked.



But JD... that asshat ur talkin about... what the ***** up w/ that?!?! Car is runnin like ----, and he keeps goin Whats he got, walnuts for brains?

JD~ U should publish that as a satire off of "what grinds my gears" haha. Good stuff.

No, I'm not saying anything of the sort. There was a slight undertone to your post that you were looking for affirmation that what you were doing is correct. I posted all that other ---- to let you know what you have to worry about... you don't sound like a ------- idiot, you can obviously look at datalogs and listen to det-cans and make sound common sense judgements, I think you're doing a fine job.

Drop the AFRs to a flat 12:1 under boost is all I recommend. Single digit boost and 12.5 or under is fine, but you aren't making any more power running it as 12.5:1 than you would at a flat 12, and there is a big jump in engine cooling at 12:1.

Sounds good. And ya, u judged my tone well. haha.

On a lighter note... I found the perfect sound that u can hear in the det cans... I went to the late night grill here on campus... and mike and i (he helped me w/ it when i told him what to do) got some grinders an they were wrapped in tin foil. Here in NH... it was sleeting out. We walked outside, and we both just looked at each other to the sound of the sleet on the sandwiches and just started laughing.

And thnx for the compliment that i'm not an idiot lol. I posted my new ignition maps and such in my other thread here in engine management if ur curious. Total timing @ 10psi at redline (7500rpm) was 18.25*
