water/alky tuning complete
well it's all dialed in.
went from being able to run 15 degrees advance to 24 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I will take it to the dyno perhaps this week or next to see what kind of HP gain I got.
pretty sad though. I know I'm pushing over 400rwhp and 400rwtq now and it still feels slow <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
must be something wrong with me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: water/alky tuning complete
Glad to hear everything is coming along heath. I don't get my blower back for another two weeks=(. It doesn't matter because I just broke my hand. So I am out for about 4 to 6 weeks which sucks.

Ouch!
Sorry to hear that.
Hopefully you don't mind if I hold on to the atap cable a bit longer.
Just email/call whenever you need it back and I will drive it on over.
Thanks again for letting me borrow it.

Re: water/alky tuning complete
Don't worry Andrew, I will shoot a mail your way with all the details so you can duplicate.
Heck since you have a 98 I can even send you my .ls1 file assuming you get youself ls1-edit to help give you a start on dialing in the spark curves.
Now the anticipation to see what kind of improvements were made <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
P.S. Sig update after I get the new numbers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: water/alky tuning complete
too dangerous for my blood.
from what I read water/alky mix 50/50 or less is not flamable which makes me a whole lot more confident having 5 gallons of it sitting in a fuel cell in the rear hatch.

Re: water/alky tuning complete
not really. I have been doing tons of blasts to atap and such and I have used a little over a gallon so far.
I think under "normal" driving conditions, punching it here and there instead of every chance possible it will last me a good 3-4 months.

Re: water/alky tuning complete
already have the 6psi pulley chris. thats as fast as this blower is gonna spin.
I will instead be adding heads/cam/ls6 intake and then retune <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Looking for a ~500rwhp daily driver that cost me under $5k in goodies to get there.
I'm under budget, just have to see if the power is there or not when it's all put together.
