Edelbrock box, What pill for stock lq4? I tryed searching to help find a clue, but didnt find much.
I have a 1985 trans am with a stock lq4 in it with the vic jr. intake with a holley 670 street avenger on it. Just want to know what a good pill to start with is? I have number 1 in there now and it sorta runs like crap, but that could be due to alot of stuff because i have got to get it tuned good yet.

Go with the most aggressive, but really, just start going up chips, one at a time driving under different loads, part throttle and full throttle, note which did what and how and then go to the chip you think was the best.
Otherwise, sell the edelbrock piece to soeone that isnt looking for max power and get a MSD 6010 unit.

They are both made by MSD but like zones said the edlebrock box can't be programmed by a laptop. Only pills. For some reason edlebrock had MSD delete the laptop hook up. i don't think you can even change the rev limiter with the edlebrock box.

I'm not sure the Edelbrock box has the rev limiter, or maybe it does now, but did'nt at first. I mentioned a dyno test I had seen in Feb '05 Hot Rod Magazine in another thread recently. The article stated that all tests were run with the #6 Edelbrock timing pill and it was the first test I had seen of the new Edelbrock timing box. Every test went to 6600 RPM. I think my MSD 6010 box was set at 5500 RPM when I first got it.

Not blaming the box just wanted to cancel that option out and make sure its not completly off. But i think i figured out why it was running like crap. Leaking needle and seat, or bad float. Also fuel pressure was at 3psi, when i turned it up the gas came out of the vent tube. So replaced the needle and seat tonight and set fuel pressure. putting the fuel bowl back on tmo, being that its about -10 out right now
