Re: Supakat's Thread

Time to set up speed or gear-based boost control, perhaps? Is that a possibility with MS? I plan on setting that up on mine if I ever reach the point where traction in lower gears is a big issue. I know some folks have used front wheel ABS sensors to do that, but I've been looking into the possibil...

Re: 2nd time around

Did you put both chain guides on for the head? My UEGO reads fine at idle. Yours is probably lean at idle. As long as she does not stutter or stall, I would not worry until the AEM gets in. The oil and gas will not have any ill effects. If anything, it probably cleaned up some gunk in the galleys.

I wasn't clear. Not the drain but basically the exit of hot water goes to a pvc pipe that throws the water to a place that can drain so your not standing in a puddle. The radiator is not hooked up to any rad hoses.

Re: Supakat's Thread

Basically, I use the map for deleanment. Low load high rpm means less fuel and advance timing. Then as it gets close to idle, blend it in. As for first gear, I start to roll then mash the gas and see what happens. I use VE live but also tweak myself manually to get the results I want faster rather t...

Re: 502whp/ 428ft/lb 22psi

Why do people always put down the ka saying rev happy. Stock valve train no but if you have dual springs, light buckets, etc. with cams and the most important key an ATI dampener, you can hit 8500 safely. Even 8k is nice. I rev to 7200 with stock valvetrain and Crower 264's. Don't limit yourself.

Re: Supakat's Thread

No loss. I picked up spool. Probably like 300. I think since the runners are longer, it allows for the violent combustion to calm down before it exits the dump tube.

Re: 502whp/ 428ft/lb 22psi

Most likely due to the retard timing. The fuel is burning in turbine which is spinning up the wheel just like 2step/anti lag operation. Eventually you will need a 20psi spring. Turning up the boost to 30psi requires a stronger base spring. If not, then you cannot control high boost correctly and rea...

Re: Head gasket Q's fort 90mm CR

Safe measure is Felpro good for 500whp. Others have pushed more but your tuning better be on point. Go with Cosworth or Cometic if you can't find Cosworth.
