lq4 with valve relief on the left (im assuming DOD) and a LQ9 flattop with gen 4 rod on the right. Im actualy gonna replace the dished pistons for flat ls2/lq9 pistons. this will keep my compression at 10.1 w9th 317heads and keep low rpm/no boost tq up while also utilizing the better flow of 317 heads. the floating pins make swapping a lot easier

well, since im pushing the 255 to its upper limit with 12psi on an already 301 na to the wheel, 12psi estimatedly has me at roughly 546hp, and with 14psi it could be 587hp, which is about the limits of the walbro 255.

tried out the turbosmart manual booat controller but the lowest setting produces 14psi of boost!! so input the NSX manual controller back in so that i can at least keep it at 12psi. glad the car is cable of 14psi, just not yet lol

some trans tuning. use the autotrans guide to adjust these tables. still alittle loose on the 2nd to 3rd shift and its reving to high hell and takes some pedaling to bring it down. not sure what to do for that.

Adjusted these tables roughly according to the guide. i have a built trans with a shift kit and beefier internals, so im running with it for now. 100 for max and 90 for minimum. i havnt driven this yet, but we will see. had it at 98 and 80 before but im gonna see qyat this does.

So here are some of my shift points and speeds i adjusted using the Auto guide in the Auto section. Followed it nearly line by line. man does it shift better. did a bit more adjusting after the 2nd run. still getting a bit of a run away from 2nd to 3rd gear at WOT but part throttle had gotten way better.

decided to atart seeing where rhe boost was coming in at based on gear. still trying to play around and see if 9 can get a better picture of what the 3800 stall is doing in there.

made some more adjustments in the higher region. creeping up to 11.5-7 afr now. leaning out by 1 or 2% not depending on how rich still. 10.9 gets a -2%, 11.2 gets -1% added. did have to enrich a couple cells that touched 12, but only a couple. but they were lower in the band and only around 8psi
