Agreed. Last week we were consistently pulling a 396ci LT1 (converted to the EFI Connection 24x system) on the dyno at TPIS to 6700rpm with new LS2 ignition coils and had no ignition hiccups. I would expect that they will continue to perform to 8000rpm if the engine was intended to pull that high.

Engine was first tested with LT1 PCM, MSD optispark, and high output coil. The 24x system (with LS1 PCM) showed an increase of 15 hp. Not bad considering the conversion is more about a better PCM, ignition system, and tuning options.

Here's the 396ci LT1 that TPIS dyno'd last week. You're looking at a 58mm electronic throttle with pedal mounted upside down behind the engine. (Electronic Throttle uses an LS1 Corvette calibration; Cable Throttle uses an LS1 Camaro/Firebird/Truck calibration). The spacer between throttle body and manifold is because the Canton valve covers are too large and interfere with the throttle body. All other valve covers clear. This engine will get a different set of valve covers.

NICE!!!
I am still learning HPtuners and trying to familiarize myself with the software for this spring when I finally get to run my car.

I WILL be contacting you for more information, I am sure, but thank you for everything you have given me so far!

I am hoping for around 600RWHP from my setup, but after seeing your numbers at 20+psi, I don't know that I will hit 600. I am only planning on 11-12psi from my F1A and no meth setup, but the motor is 10.5to1 CR and already making 485FWHP so I was expecting the F1A to add at least 200-250HP.

Maybe I'll end up blowing the engine up right away then I will just have to rebuild it to a lower CR and more boost friendly and really turn the F1A up!!!

Way to go again, and hopefully I will be up and running and praising the EFI Connections Conversion soon too...

It is an Alkycontrol Dual nozzle meth setup. Not too sure on the pump flow rat, sorry. OPTI DELETE FTMFW!!!!!

20+psi is a blast, just wish it would happen a little sooner. I might switch to this smaller charger pully I have in the cabinet at home. Then engine was built to handle about 26#.

I can almost guarantee that I have the newest LT1 powered Trans Am on the planet.

I was kinda curious what happened to you. I hadn't heard from you in a while. Good to see you are still making progress. You will hit 600o with your F1A. I am starting to think that my cam is too small, maybe my compression too low(8.1:1).

I am kinda stumped. Every year, my opti went out around the last days of the year. This is actually the first year in like 3 that I put it away running. I don't know what my winter plans will be for it. Maybe itll just stay under the car cover......maybe not.......

Yeah, I took my car to MT (I live in Western WA) to be finished at my dad's shop, so it has been gone for 3 months. I have nothing to tinker with now!!!! All I have here is HPtuners and I have been slowly reading the Tuner Book you recommended and navigating through the software.

Not sure if you saw the progress pics of what I got done while I was in MT...

Unfortunately my TA is taking a back seat now, I just bought a very expensive full frame for my 69 Camaro.
