Talking A.I. heads/cam update: 438.24rwhp

Woop Woop! Firebirding season is upon us! I went to Hi Tech Motorsporst last week to do a little tuning on my girlfriend... (the bird) The results were great!

438.24rwhp and 431.73rwtq

I want to thank Chris from the bottom of my heart, cuz without him this would not have happened!! THANK YOU CHRIS!! (helped me tune)

Of course, this is me we are talking about, and my car died on the dyno. Not just killed, but became dead in the water. Stupid bad luck!

I got 6 pulls in.. and everything was going nicely. We got the final tune that we thought would be good, and we were loading it in for the "money pull." You know, the perfect tune pull... we cooled down the motor, and were ready to see what that bitch could do!

Well, soon into the programming of the pcm, the battery died on the car. So, needless to say, you cant just stop loading a program into the car in the middle of it, cuz it locks the bitch up. !(#$&%^@#*#

So, we had to push it off the dyno and I cried.

Turns out Casey, the dyno operator, had a pcm for a 95 Impala at his house.. so after work he went home and just gave it to me. What nice people Bart employs there at Hi Tech!

So Chris graciously followed him home and picked it up. We put it in my car, and flashed it with my program, and I drove her home! I drove like a dick too, cuz the car felt absolutely wonderful! It pulled hard, and fast! I raced lots of cars, all of which had no chance in hell at beating me, but I felt unstoppable, and they were eggin me on!!

So, once Chris and I finish the tune, my baby should be over the 440rwhp hump with ease!

So, that is my happy friday story.

Doug Rippie motorsports is havin another dyno day, so Im gonna correct some things and hit his dyno too to see if I can get over that 440 mark.

Wish me luck!!

Oh, a little bit about the motor: 385 stroker, 11.21:1 compression, all forged internals, cloyes true double roller and CRS water pump. Stock opti, MSD OTVC wires, NGK plugs. I indexed the plugs too. AS&M 58mm TB, SCREENED MAF sensor, Pacesetter long tube headers, mangaflow 3" ss catback, SVO 42lb injectors, STOCK FUEL PUMP! 45psi fuel pressure, AI 190cc heads, street ported intake, and "baby cam" cuz I wanted it streetable! This car is my daily driver, and needless to say, it performs like a champ!
My car does everything I wanted it to, Advanced Inductions did one hell of a great job with my car. All this power is just an added bonus!

YOu need to run a battery charger on the car while loading the program, to ensure that doesnt happen my 383 had a EWP that ran off of the Key on, Engine off position so you had to watch it.

Yup, fingered that out the hard way. It was funny, cuz I even brought that up when my car was on the dyno, and they said no it shouldn't be a problem. From now on, I am doing what I want, and not listening to what other people "think." HEHE. Its a lesson learned. albeit the hard way. Doh!

Yup, I dont think I have ever read a negative opinion of them.. must be a reason for that! I know I am very happy that I chose them!
