IIRC at 50-50 he was at 26 degrees...

I don't think I can make it to 50 without popping a CEL for LTFT's over 25%

Sorry, if you've covered this...
Are you running a tune?

FoMoCoSHO · July 18, 2014, 10:33:46 PM

Nope, I'm still stock.

I'd prefer that my ECM doesn't rat me out to the dealership about my E-85 shenanigans...

Wow, I admire your being able to hold out.

My truck was tuned the first week....lol

Playing with E-85 has kept me pretty entertained.

As soon as the cutout comes back it's on!

I'm also considering upgrading the turbos at the same time, overlapping labor and all that.

I'm also considered that doing all that plus turbos may cause a rod to overlap into my block, so IDK.

I sure hope you don't poke any holes in your block.

I'd leave the turbos alone for now... after all you haven't even experienced a tune.

I am tuning scap99's truck...we are getting some great power out of it for such a heavy platform....we will continue to push forward with the E content and would love to see some of you guys in our shop for some tuning...

He will run 12's with no problem next time out at the track and I am excited to see what the transverse platform is capable of...

I know I've shocked a few people with it, both at the track and on the highway.

Found some knock.

How I'm getting it at 35% ish I don't know.... only thing I can think of is the fuel just won't mix right.

wasinger3000 · July 19, 2014, 02:16:59 AM

..... I really should just get a meth kit.

You'll find out what the transverse is all about the first week of August as soon as I get back in town.

Looking forward to checking y'all out.

2% is nothing. I know you want 0, mine does that either heat soaked or when it's really stinking hot out. I'm running 94.

Its not the fuel, mine does it too. I think its happening under heavy throttle, coupled with an abrupt lift. I need to redo my data logging parameters and try to pin it down. Its not dangerous at all for us but could be for the guys running straight gas. Consider only A6's motor came apart under that same circumstance. It also explains why some of us have noticed throttle response going away under spirited heavy off-on conditions.....the car is seeing knock and goes into self preservation mode.

Well that's good to know. I might have to ease off the throttle after a wot run.

One thing I've been thinking about is this, if I have a meth kit and if at some point I floor it to pass and the meth doesn't spray because of a mechanical failure will the car be able to pull enough timing to protect it? to Or will I be picking parts up off the road.... that's the one thing that keeps me away from meth right now.
