it touches it up front, i know its not actually connected, thats why i said leech.

 

PsykoStevo and Gilbert were talking about drilling thier thermostats on our local site. I don't think they posted any results though.

 

Gilbert dropped ~10*, I have yet to do mine. Combination of Laziness and being out of town.

Drilled 3 small holes in the thermostat.

 

heh i got a bad one in my truck, i put in a stant 180 today, and it runs a consistant 5 deg.F higher than the 195 stocker, go figure. im going on holidays in 2 weeks, so i have to concentrate on killing the knock in my truck first, and no i didnt tune it. was done 4 years ago. omfg.

 

Hey Steve. Yep the car runs great. We tinkered with the tune some. One thing I noticed was the LTFT was a little high. Should it not be in the +2 to -2 range on exceleration or WOT? It seems to be in the +5 to +8 range.

Cheers

Hey what is you local web-site?

 

weather temps, and other factors play hell with the cars. it's just compensation.

 

well i believe them but its also got to be some thing else. cause ask any one i run 12.8 a/fs to get my 260+ Whp on a 3inch pulley. matter fact i was about to go try and put down 270 on the same a/f. its not suposed to run like this but it does. which means the heat from a smaller pulley must also be whats granading that cyl not just cause you have an a/f higher than 11.2

 

holy crap batman.

well i guess i have no room to talk. i did the same thing just to see if i could.

heat plays a huge factor in it. id be really curious to see what your egt's look like after a 0-105 mph sprint

 

My IAT's hit 240 once i'll leave the rest to your imagination. also my a/fs see 13's at 7200 redline. I short shift at 65 unless i need to wield it

 

thats cookin!

if i ever come to a meet that you are at. im bringin some bacon

 

Mmmmm...bacon!!!!

 

omg, i logged today going to work, with a LM-1 and a tail sniffer, lol 10.2 afr.
i leave more black clouds behind me than a scared supercharged squid!

 

take that number, {if you have a cat} subtract about .4 off it.

 

zzp catless, was too lazy to put it on the hoist and plug in on the DP. still rich as a bitch.
to be sure, my LM-1 is a not whacked i had a buddy run his on his car, and then mine to coinfirm accuracy.
was the same.

p.s. area, i see you on hpt forums under same name. I'm Fire there.

 

I have noticed quite a few guys around here with the same broblem. The 2.85 43 lb tune that I have in my car fixed that problem for me. Squid...I'll take mine as Calamari please.

 

i don't post over there unless i have too. hence the 06 vs 07 question

 

Lol, i'm also pinned at 10.2 under WOT. Super rich.

I need a winter tune and a summer tune cause it's like night and day.

 

yepo, that is what everone needs.

wierd thing being, my car leans out the colder it gets. this is not normal.

when it's about 80+ degree's, it runs 11.3
when it's below 70. its around 11.6
not good!

 

my winter ride is a safari AWD w/studded grips. the poor balt hasnt seen too many snowflakes. it is such a POS in the snow. i had to pull it out into the lot a couple times during the winter to fit cars in the shop, and it gets stuck in 1 " of snow. damn pirellis.
it got to the point i would hook a tow rope onto it and back it out, cause for sure id have to tow it back in, lol.

 

That is normall. Colder air is denser meaning you need to compensate by adding more fuel. Why do you think most of the motors blew in the colder climates?

 

Thats true in a speed density setup where people have removed IAT sensors.

Your MAF will compensate for air temperature when reporting back a frequency to the PCM.

Engines will pop in colder climates due to increasing amounts of air entering the cylinders resulting in higher cylinder pressure, not an air/fuel issue, at least on these car's stock engine management system.

 

it does to a degree, this car is odd. every car in the past that i have owned, has richened up on its own. like any normal mas air car should. nope. not a cobalt.

 

Yeah man, when it's hot like 90-95 degrees and AIT2s are around 130-135 my AFR is pinned at 10.2 through 6,800rpm.

When it's cooler like 60 degrees and AIT2s are around 90 i'm right where i should be like 11.3ish.

 

went through this entire thread and havent found a direct answer...

What a/f does the stock tune command on the '06?

What a/f does the GM stage 2 command on the '06?

 

wide open or part throttle.
