It is? THAT'S funny, mine feels like a BEAST down low. You should have plenty of torque from 2000 up.

If you drove Scorps car, it DOGS under 3grand, like someone has their hand over the intake. It hits 3500 and SNAPS like a switch was flipped, very weird.

Mine did this at first too. I bumped the initial timing up a few degrees and popped in a PROM w/ the ARAP .bin on it, it's better. This is all the "tuning" I have managed to do so far.

Although copying the timing table as a starting point might be good. ;)

ARAP is no good for me. My '165 ECM is a $32b definition. I also would lose 4+3 functionality.

Re: Dyno tomorrow, make a guess. (LT4POWR)
I'm not even going to take a guess at your numbers tomorrow. All I know is, with the components you have, that sucker will kick some serious butt once you have it dialed in! :yesnod: Good luck! :cheers:

Timing is very, very important and will effect you down their.... also, strangely enough, if my TPS sensor is set weird it appears to lose low end torque..... may just be me though.
I'll guess based upon precise calculations (I really have no clue)....
294 rwhp @ 5400 rpm
348 ftlbs @ 3900 rpm
But the good news, you probably have another 20, 30 and even possibly 40 rwhp hidden in their somewhere.
btw, did you disconnect your knock sensor ??!!!
good luck

Re: (scorp508)
Hehe, I wanna know what the hp is gonna be AFTER your baseline run when you tune it. :)
12.8 unsorted is. :cool:
Me too. :D
Keep in mind that thta 12.89 run was spinning the tires a good first 100' or so with a lousy 2.1 60'.

You aren't helping me here. I keep telling myself I should save my $ and go all out later on but with the numbers you are getting it would be worth putting that off for a while and doing what you have done to my motor and just drive it that way until something major goes. Your mods alone would most likely put me in a position to beat MOST of the other Vette guys around here. (Insert evil smiley here).
You gotta stop posting this stuff - I can only resist so much... :)

Why do I say this?
Because I've got a forged 383 that's got a combination of real and false knock. The real knock is caused by having the promm'd timing set too far advanced. IIRC Scorp's still got the stock pistons in the block. IF he gets ANY detonation without the KS to retard the timing then he'll be a lunchin' on pistons fer sure!

BLEH! :bs DO NOT disconnect the knock sensor! Find another way to get that car runnin' right.

Small block chevys survived 30 years without knock sensors, they're not necessary.
good luck Scorp.
