Spent the day at Vinny's shop (860 Performance) and learned what a quality install is all about! Here are some pics.



















Used the Diablo Predator to pull timing and monitor KR, worked excellent. Saw 6° KR with a 100 shot, and pulled 7% (in Predator selection). KR after that was 0. with the 125 shot we pulled 10% (max) and saw a KR of 2°.

Some notes on what is left to do:
1) Matt at HSW will resize the black hoses, this will look fantastic with the HSW hoses on the Dry side.

2) The Dry system with 50 HP jetting was 12.1-12.5 on the A/F we stopped there on the dry, until we resolve the tuning issue. Not wanting to make my Blackwing CAI into swiss cheese, we are going to change the nozzles to 90° vice the 45° currently in use as a starting point for future Dry tuning.

3) Daves plate is running a 125 shot. Currently the setup is on dual stage 50 Dry/125 Wet. No issues with the fuel.

Current setup has 434.5 HP with some left in the dry side

Vinny can field the Dyno/Tuning questions


Combined 50 Dry/125 Wet vs the baseline numbers NA





50 shot Dry/75 Shot wet (Fuel Jet decreased by 2 from recommended).


Thanks Vinny!

 

Great looking setup and nice gains, congrats.

 

window switch or anything? im trying to find where the vette guys are tapping into to get thier tps signal and tach singals.

btw the hardlines look good i better grab a pipe bender and learn me some skills lol

 

So you did not see any NA gains from the plate?

 

Not on the dyno used for the nitrous testing. This dyno was not the origional dyno I had put the car on (Although it was the same model dyno). I had 308 HP with a tune (up from 299) on a dyno in Maine last year. This year I put colder plugs in and a new tune for Nitrous and the base number went down to 300 HP. Was it the new tune and colder plugs? I think I need to do a NA run on the origional Dyno, plugs and tune to get apples to apples comparision

Chris I will see if I can get some daytime pictures of that, a PM to Vin @ 860 while the install is fresh in his mind will likely get the info.

I am going back either next weekend or in June to get the LC-1 and a line lock installed, as well as some more Dry Tuning Dyno time.

I have not fired it off on the road yet, as I had rain showers on my two hour drive home

 

I have the 90mm plate also and love it. Numbers in sig. We didn`t lock the converter. Was new and didn`t want to hurt it on the new motor. But I love the plate over the ring. Check my numbers in sig with 200 shot!

 

Looks Good Beer and Vinny beautiful install as always

Great looking install...

Can't wait to see it in action!

 

I like the CF 'noids. Those are pretty trick.

Clean install, and nice #s.

 

Nice Beer, congrats on a trick install from Vinny.

Not to change the topic or nothing but what kind of blue is that on your car? Sweet ride. Pretty clean install as for the nitrous.

 

Thanks 69, its a Factory 1999 Nassau Blue.

 

Ain't that the damn truth! That's SO clean

 

Very nice looking install!!!

Great looking install.

 

Beer, That looks great. Vinny did a good job. Now when you hit it for the first time make sure you post a picture of your face...

Beer had bought a dual stage window switch from Dynotune, and the wiring was pretty simple. I PM'd you with the details.
Vinny

 

When I wired mine I grabbed the tach signal from under the fuse box near the battery. Works great....
