Wayne, that is fine with me. I know steve lives right there so I know he'll like that. I'd say around 830 and leave at 9 to give everyone plenty of time to get there.

bleh, wish I could make it

he doing a/f ratio too? I eventually really want him to tune my car but I'm broke. With the mailorder tune I can only muster 325/340...kinda pathetic for a cam car.

ouch yeah that would hurt my feelings if I had a cam and only put that down. What are your specs?

He has wideband avaialable and prefers you have a place to tap in otherwise he can remove one of the 02s.

98 ls1
00 heads, stock but surfaced
pac 918s
comp 230/224 xe lobes, 111+3 and supporting mods
doug's longtubes
cai
ls1 intake...yeah I know
ported 98 throttle body
open cutouts, dunno if the tune was optimized for open or closed

stock stall
shift kit
12 bolt 3.42

only real thing is at the time I didn't realize throttle position sensor was only seeing 92% throttle due to carpet in the way, do have 295/50 on old school aluminum mag wheels eating up some, car smells nasty rich any time I drive

worst part was breaking the tailhousing on the second pull and getting stranded

I would say you need a good street tune, then fine tuning with wideband on the dyno.

so whats the procedure for running the autos on the dyno??? what gear, from what rpm to what rpm, do you manually hold them in gear with the shift lever, etc.

You want a third gear pull at around 3000 RPMs or a tad higher to keep the transmission from down shifting into 2nd gear and causing the torque readings to spike ridiculous numbers.

Let them know where you rev limiter is set and run it to that point or just shy of it. I always watched the dyno operator and he would watch the dyno tach and tell me to get out of it. I hardly ever bumped the rev limiter doing it this way.

so you are lifting say 100 rpms before the limiter and that keeps it from bumping it. with the autos, arent downshifts determined by speed not rpm. mine will go into second at anything 70 mph and lower. from 70+ you can go full throttle and it will stay in 3rd till 120.

Correct i was refering to mine being at or around 3000 rpms at 70 mph. If yours will downsifts to 2nd that high then you might want to go from 75 or so just slightly over the downshift point so you get a good rpm range in your dyno graph. Hell i have some dyno pulls that started at 3000 rpms all the way to 4000rpms.
