running a stock bottom end with all ARP hardware. toyota bearings, race prepped rods, ross pistons


also took, how much boost can you run with the -23 mainscale... i might try your route and pull from the mainscale and see what it does at WOT.

oh noes! :) my apexi mechanical one doesn't read vacuum correctly for some reason... time to step up to the defi series! they just came out with a new line, "Blue Racer" ... that don't need an external computer module but are still electronic, have a shallow mounting depth, have a nice look to them with a cool opening sequences, etc... and cheaper then their old ones.

i'm going to get a complete set and have them installed in the factory gauge locations.

I ran 23 psi today, Im thinking pulling fuel helps with boost cut, when your adding it , it hits f/c easier. I have hit it a couple times in a few weeks of driving, when its cold out, and kicking down a gear from cruise (i have an auto)under high boost. Not 1 time ever have I hit f/c from a stop up to 120 mph (24 psi). my a/f did creep up to 12.0 today after 21 psi, but I dont normally run over 20 on pump gas, I was messing with boost control, and its creeping on me after 6k rpms.

also, i'm aware of scaling the AFM signal however we need to start looking at timing to see how far it's getting advanced...

i have the boost solenoid; however i'm not running it. i tried to get it to work but i had no luck. my boost would creep all the time

I hope you hit your mark. Did you get around that timing issue you had? I still think something's not right there from reading your other thread.

nice job. are you going back after you change some of your settings to give it another shot at 600rwhp?

yea, had i known my boost gauge was ready 5-6psi off i think things would have been different
