Any results yet?

 

I did my pulls in 4th, maybe that explains my results.....

 

I was just thinking that...cuz if 4th is an overdrive gear than that certainly would have messed with your results. Ill try to go today if Big Shots allows me to come up a bit late because i dont get out till 5 and thats about an hour and 15 from me. If thet cant im going to the track so either way ill have results of something by tonight..whether its dyno results or 1/4 mile improvements ill have something!! Which would you all rather see?

 

Dyno then track

Got my dyno time set for 2PM tomorrow, it will be me and a friend in his SC/Cobra (02 with vortech)

 

F that, I just called a local tuner to me and they want $100 for 3 runs!!

 

That is about the going rate at most shops $90-100 for 3 pulls dyno time is not cheap.

HP is close to the same (within 2-3 of third gear) torque will read slightly higher in 4th

Third is 1.18 4th is 0.89 both are about 15% off of 1.00:1 makes only a couple HP difference either way.

 

And remember to do 3rd gear this time! I'll probably be going to the track because they probably won't be doing any dyno runs that late.

 

3rd gear will make about A +1% difference in HP so 3 whp or so no big deal. 4th is better if you are loging data and checking for knock on the street.
As long as you get a baseline and new numbers using the same gear you are fine.

 

Proven Power Tampa
30 Dollars for 3 runs. I am going to do 4 Pulls. 2 in 3rd and 2 in 4th. Average the 2 to get some solid numbers.

 

i got my cortex last night weather is sucky though non stop rain but even so im very impressed throttle response is awesome and boost builds right away. The car doesnt feel held back anymore.

 

yeah I found a cheaper place - 4 pulls for $75, why 4? beats me

 

4 pulls for 40.00 > 4 pulls for 75.00
by 3 pulls for 30.00 I mean 10 dollars a run.

 

yeah, well that's the cheapest place for me around here without any special "dyno days" where I'll wait 4 hours for a run!

I would love for a place to be $10 a run. but driving to FL would be cost inefficient for me

I guess I'll just have to stick with the 4/$75 until a dyno day!

 

any fresh numbers?

 

Will be some heat soaked ones tomorrow

 

Well...took it to the track...and now it has to go to the dealer...Threw a P0091 code and am in limp mode. Fuel pressure regulator or something..oh well... But not before I broke the 13s!! Best run 13.79 at 104.38 with a 2.25 60ft. That's almost a half second improvement over stock so I'm satisfied. I'll tell y'all what they say about it at the dealer tomorrow ha ha!!

 

Make sure you clean the car up before it goes in! I guess you'll find out if they check your ecm for previous flashes or not.

 

Call OnStar...ask to speak to a onstar tech and have a probe ran. I think I threw this code once because the wiring of the fuel pump (the high flow at the camshaft) got hot or the sensor came unplugged. Long story short I retaped wire and replugged sensor, and code was erased.

 

P0091
Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid 1 Control Circuit Low Voltage

 

^^^Yep thats it. Instant limp mode. Like I stated above, I simply untaped the wiring to the sensor, pulled the wire off the the bracket that is wrapped around the pump, retaped the wiring, and replugged the sensor. Turned it over once, then cranked it the second time, and it went away. I took it the dealer to make sure the pump was still operating properly, and they pulled the code, and said it works fine. Car drive fine now, havent seen the code since, and I have WOT the car a decent amount.

 

i wonder if thats the connector thats near the typical Camshaft position sensor oil leak

 

Just clear the code with the cortex, you will be fine.

 

I did..but it comes RIGHT back...headed to the dealer in a fewminutes.

 

Well, should be interesting if the dealer checks the ECU for any previous flashes...

 

this is exactly why i got my 2nd ecu, if the sensor is faulty, it should still throw a CEL when the original ecu is loaded back into the car, and if it doesnt it may be a parameter that superchips needs to analyze

sandman do you have RPD?
