the comment guys. I'm headed to the dyno next week and i Just want to make sure I'm as optimized as I can be for the tune since I wont be doing many more engine mods. I'm thinking about doing a bigger lid or just gooing to the 100mm maf any comments on if they would be benficial?
who and who hasnt deleted their evap? It looks like crap just sitting there so I removed the canister and routed a fuel line under the front bumper with a small cone filter. I havent noticed any fuel smell just wondering what others have done
I want to remove mine... do i need to tune it out? I'd just remove the hardline back to tank as well. Cap it off with lil filter at that point.
Do you have a picture of your tap on the back? My MAP is not sealing right now, because I didn't actually bolt it down - I had to rotate it 180 degrees to fit with the firewall. And I was hoping it'd just be in there good, but now the o-ring is leaking and it's going apeshit. I'm on an SD tune now, so when the MAP isn't happy, I am NOT HAPPY.
no sorry I dont :/ I can tell you that if you go to advance and look at their 1/8" to 1/4" hose barbs they only have 2 to choose from. One was npt and the other was a different type of 1/8 thread... Get both as I dont remember which I used because one didnt fit and the other was perfect size. I didnt drill anything just started it in the hole then used a wrench on it and it tapped itself. After that I got a foot of 1/4 fuel line and removed the orange rubber grommet on the map, then just clamped it on both ends and now I get a steady 54kpa at idle lol.
btw whats your opinion, do you think there are gains to be had for me to switch out to a bigger lid or go to the 100mm maf from the 85/mti lid setup right now
Well guys Just got a call from Geoff car will be ready to pick up tomorrow. She put down right at 440 with all the runs floating around there after the tuning. I'm pretty happy for having stock 243 heads and a really driveable setup in the end

Ya honestly though idk what the actual gains were as they are 2 different dynos. The 390 one was a mustang dyno that routinely dynos low. I watched a full bolt c5z make 350 on it.
So in all actuality I probably made close to 420 though. All speculation of course but I feel that's a fair estimate. I still think 440 for a stock 243 headed motor is damn good haha
well before the fast the clutch was going out so no i dont lol the new clutch and fast all went in within 4 weeks of eachother,...even so if you have a cam the fast will be worth 15 over an ls6 the more work you have done the more you will gain. if you are just bolt ons then the gains will be minimal, unless you want every last hp then skip the fast on a bolt on car
