I can make your car a bit faster yet, but it's not on a tune I would feel safe putting on your car. I don't like running really lean, but a little power can be had lol.

Also, as you start making more power and getting faster and faster it gets harder to make big improvements in your times.

 

it would be fun to see either way, remember this old retta is a 95 and a bit heavier, i guess we will see how it goes! cant wait to have this thing running even 50% better than it is..

 

i pretty much think i have hit the limits on this set up. if i want more i need to pony up some dollars. this will do til next year. there is absolutely nothing wrong with what this car does for what it is. for a sc car on pump gas its very strong.

i have no doubts kevin will get it into a much better place. he will hit his projected goal, and do it safely. if he does hit the projected goal that retta will freakin fly. you should have no issues spanking the balt.

 

I can.

I've done a 2.4-T, and a 2.4-SC tune install;
I'm the Trifecta dealer.

 

this car has potential, i cant wait to let it out. Gf said she was gonna buy me a new turbo too haha

 

Ya I;m in for more LSJ building!

This tune is so custom and far off right now that it will be done in 3 steps with each getting harder.

1st tuning the idle pretty easy since you're only working with max 750rpm range

2nd DD table harder but still easy set the A/F to 14.7 and go from there

3rd WOT tuning everyone here knows how much time that takes we're into 10 logs for marks car right now and it isn't a 100% custom job!

So I'm hoping to get set 1 and 2 done on sat and start into 3 but I think that will take a couple weeks or so to get fully worked out but for a DD it will be 100% better to drive and better on gas too! I'm surprised it doesn't surge and bog everywhere with it's current tune!

 

Awesome what are you going with?? Do I get a say in it??

 

Jon Mark nice seeing you guys today. I can't ait to see that truck alive Jon. Mark I hope I get to pull some wrenches on that LSJ again over the winter and have her ripping for the spring!!

 

good times as always good sir.

 

I wanna see that LSJ revving to 8K next year!!

 

It seems that my car is loving the 50/50 meth water mix too. It's running great!

 

One of 3 broken couplers... hah! Trip to JB's tomorrow for all new ones!!

Beast is running WICKED!!

 

Haha you broke that one that bad too I thought you said you were gonna go easy on it. Car pulled hard on the 8psi before the coupler blew off. I'm guessing your friend didn't drive it much or all the boots would be broken since we broke 2 in one night.

Just awesome to see how happy you were and all we did was fix problems and get it running right no tuning at all... so far!

 

ifaik you cannot safely rev a stock shortblock to 8,000 rpm safely.

 

You can on the block. Just not on the stock valve train and stock balance shafts

 

Ya with a balancer and springs. Blue does

 

I run stock shafts still. Everyone yells don't do it but I still have yet to see a failure from it. They just rob hp.

 

I'd run NBS because the higher you rev the more HP the stocks steal

 

So travis are you done blowing couplers yet?? This is gonna be a very fun car when it's done!

See if you can get that coupler and intake gasket some time this week so we can actually start to tune it

 

I rolled em for a bout a month and then put stockers back in. Hated them. I'll take a smooth motor over 10hp

 

I don't think Mark's car it that rough

 

If it's raining or snowing tomorrow mark, I'll have to drive to your shop another day

 

All couplers replaced except the 90* elbow.. Trying to find one locally but if not, I'll have to order one online... As, I blew that one today.... Haha gasket is metal p.s

 

already figured that out.

 

So did you get another one or are you trying the one that leaks again
