Procharger update
We changed the plugs today, holy moly look at this
This car doesn't have a lot of miles on it, like 20k or something like that. Anyway the stockers still had a .060 gap. We put in some Autolites (NGK TR6 are special order) and gapped them to .035.
It did make it run a little better, but I still don't think it's getting the power it should be.
We did some Autotapping too. The timing before changing the plugs dropped down to 5 degrees at one point, after it still went down to 8.5
The LT fuel trims are averaging about +4%
Also it's 110 degrees here and the coolant temp is running at 230-240 which can't be helping anything.
If we get some time this week we'll stick it on the dyno.

Re: Procharger update (SomeDay)
Hey someday I'm Dave from XTREME why dont you stop in were in Tempe and we'll take a look see.We have full dyno tune facility with all necessary software along with wide band 02' and we Dyno tune from 96-2002.We do it all from blown stock c5's weve blown our share of C5R's as well .one sitting on the shop floor its Nates persnal 02 EB Vert its beautiful and because we buy our C5R components from Ka-Tech many years of winning FLAGS and trophies.
Let us spend a hour or2 tuning out your problem and we will extract more HP and TQE/we'll even bring your volumetric efficiency so great youll increase gas mileage 3-6% guesstimate.Yours Truly Dave.
Hurry up I may have to start tunniing Porsches again and its hard 'cause were good and I want an LS1 on my DYNO not a import.Remember quick reality check when spending on expensive German items they should be packed in 12 oz. glass bottles 6 to a package,when Dyno Tuning it should BE ONLY GENERAL MOTORS LS1/LS6 the others just pay the bills.See ya soon neighbor 25 cent cover charge but that inludes a song from Nate.
Thanks for reading my book neighbor.Dave

Re: Procharger update (NewVetteLover)
We will also adjust your fans through your PCM always 100% efficient and being your up on the dyno its kinda free its 100 per hr. and a adjustment on the Ala Carte menu would be 75.00 for proper fan control settings and any other change you havegear ratio/speedometer calibratio/speedo calibration for certain tire/wheel combos there all 75.00 Per change but once its on there its all inclusive bring a plug if available and we shall fix it so it runs better than factory and to save time list your mods of course if you come for Dyno Days thats just a cheap pull so people know there HP before OR after Mods.dave

It's actually my friends car. It's a 2001 6 spd, all stock except for the 7psi Procharger kit. Yeah we're planning on taking it over to your shop, just need to find some time.

Re: Procharger update (SomeDay)
:lol:
We ran it on the dyno today. First run was 374hp/381tq. We let it cool down 20 minutes because the coolant was around 240 degrees. When it was at 200 we did another run and got 398hp/421tq.
I think the problem is that it's pulling timing for some reason, right at 4,200 and up. The dyno chart looks a WHOLE lot like Sean's (c5 r6 ml30) http://www.geocities.com/c5_r6_ml430/misc.htm
I'll post the dyno graph later, you can see how smooth it is right up to 4200, then it goes to hell.
