FE446 update , Part 82.

I put in the new champion plugs and it seems to like them. I also checked and changed the timing. It was running too high per Keith Crafts FAQ. It should be running between 34-36 and i was running near 40 on the top end. I went two sizes bigger on the MSD stop bushing and now it's dead on at 35 btdc.

I think I'm in for some good dyno numbers. Im going ow to see if they have a vacancy. It's so cool having a dyno with 2 miles from my house :-)

everybody think "400"

I predict 365. I hope you get 400, but pulling timing usually doesn't = more hp.

Yeah, but I think I had too much advance on the top end.

See how the graph got erratinc at about teh time full advance somes on?

we'll see. 400 is just a dream number. Probably not realistic with the HP loss thru that old C6.

Darn..>I run near 40 degrees in my race car. Seems to like it.
I think it is something you need to play with at dyno. Move it around a few degrees one way/other. Might find a few ponies?

I can't play too much at the Dyno. It cost money and there's always some $100,000+ super car waiting. You guys should see some of the cars. Mostly LS1, LS6, LS7 and Viper V10 stuff. Amazing what kind of money some people have.

"bolt on that single turbo to my viper, tune it and see what you get. then we'll look at the twin turbo setup and see what it gets"
