Saw some good meteors tonight

 

I am watching for them now out in Laveen!

It's all cool. I figured that's what you were doing. And if you are ever curious why ALL cars have less TQ than HP after 5,250 rpm (which ALL cars magically make less TQ than HP after that rpm) it's because of the equation used to calculate HP. Engines only produce TQ, and HP is a calculation of TQ by rpm.

The equation is: Horsepower = (Torque x RPM) / 5,250

So when the RPM is at 5,250 HP and TQ must be the same. Before then TQ must be greater than HP, and Afterwards HP must be greater than TQ.

Just a wee bit of false knock that appeared on the log. It wouldn't go away no matter what the timing was, and it wasn't really knocking there either. But the ECM pulled the timing regardless. These LNFs show a lot of false knock for some reason, but you have to make sure it's false. His car did have one little bit of real knock a couple times at almost exactly 4,000 rpms.

Since he has the MAF sensor located near the airfilter in the fender well we will do a little bit of MAF tuning soon to clear that up. Overall I think his car did great. It sure didn't make 320-340wtq, but I wasn't expecting a miracle in 115* heat either. I was experiencing IAT1 temps of 163*, which is only about 70* hotter air at the air filter than when we tune in the winter time.

 

yep I knew about the equation and the drop in tq vs hp. 163 iat1!?! Holy **** what was it after the intercoolr??

I've seen that the false knock may be caused by how loud the fuel system is in the lnf. Wish hptuners had a soloution to numb the sensors a bit

 

That 163 has to be post turbo and if that is post intercooler it seems the stock cooler is not that efficient.

 

He needs Nicks intercooler. The Pacestter has so much more low to mid range pick up. Its awesome!

 

Now way! Nicks cracks easily!

Has your injectors come yet?

 

They will be here when the mail comes probably around 2.

 

Hey my ic isn't that bad

 

I did not say it. Chris can take the blame on that one. How is the car witht he 50% blend?

 

Good no knock at 20 degrees so were going to turn it up to 22-23

 

he said iat1 and at the air filter lol, that's why I was so amazed. I liked my pacesetter too I felt like I lost tq down low with it. It's a nice piece for the money tho!

22+ timing is going to be insane nick

 

That is 22+ with no meth we hope

 

jeebus...22* huh...so when are you going all forged internals?

 

We just put those in last week.

 

yeah we did it last weekend, plasti dipped them prior to install as well

 

Ya its going to be a beast

Ya haha

 

Yeah it only took us 15 minutes to remove, assemble and install.

Well were out of the low band very quick so Im not too concerned.

 

you and nick should have a battle of the e85 monsters steve!

 

Hey dont forget I am E85 too! And the first one out of us! geeze, how soon we forget.

 

I think Chris and I would be more of a contest. I have a feeling that since Nick is running that much timing now he will destroy us both. If he was on his old 12-14* tune, with me running E-85 and my Pacesetter, I would beat him.

 

Yes you were the first one. You started it all out here in az

 

Dont worry Chris I still remember

 

Yah it would be a good race. That reminds me, I have to re tune you before we race... gotta add more..... timing....
