Numbers are IN For the L

You think about running methanol? That will REALLY help with your heatsoak issue.

Sorry to hear you arenot happy with your #s. Just wait till it gets down to about 60-50* outside. You should see a nice difference.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Damn Eaton's... I just wanna learn some here

 

[Hellion94]

What was your boost? Was it consistent, or is there a chance the belt slipped?

Heat soak may have played a part also. You would be amazed at what consistent A/F ratios will do to an engine's power output. I've seen gains of 400HP on higher powered cars just from tweaking and tuning A/F and timing. On lower powered cars I've seen gains of about 30-50 before. Get the right amount of fuel to the engine, and add a little bit of timing, and I bet your numbers will be right where you are hoping they will be. That stuff can make a large difference.

I would almost guarantee your intercooler isn't clogged. It did look dirty, but the amount of air that is rushing through that would blow out anything that could get stuck, which would be nothing because either A. something would have to get past the air filter, and make it's way into the intercooler, or B. the liquid (oil) that made it's way to the intercooler somehow withstood the 15 pounds of boost (or more, I don't remember what your original boost number was) long enough to stay in one place and solidify, which I doubt. However, your intake manifold may be a little gunked up, and you might want to check that. In that case, you would probably want to clean off the intercooler anyway, just to be sure.

LFP heat exchanger is a must. Numbers aren't total crap though, still pretty good. 86* is hell for an Eaton, you should know that. New heat exchanger, throw an ice bag on the stupidcharger, then rape the dyno again.

 

[Paul]

There is no reason to spend more money for 60 lb injectors and twin in-tanks at that power level. That's a lot of money that could be put to better use elsewhere.

I agree that the A/F ratio needs to be stabilized. Consistent and correct A/F mixture is critical to get peak performance.

Lots of opinions here, ok this is what im at now. For some reason the front exhaust pipe ( closest to the passenger door ) does not have the flow that the rear pipe does so restriction somewhere........BUT where ??? ??? The a/f was attempted to be measured out of this pipe and thats when it went crazy so there is no flow out of that pipe. Got to find out what the prob is there, with this problem thats what we are thinking is causing me to have a few extra pounds of boost over what is normaly seen with my mods. Im also leaning STRONGLY towards pulling the blower back off and cleaning that damn intercooler ( like we should have to begin with :slap: ) then hitting the dyno again. I'm just concerned about finding out this deal with the exhaust :-\ after you run the truck you can feel the pipes and Notice a BIG difference in the temps between them.

dang man, atleast its a nice smooth curve.

welp, this is whats going on after talking to a zillion people and a few L shops I'm going to........

Pull the blower back off, and clean the intercooler. Buy a phenolic intake spacer ( the blower is going to be off anyway so why not?? its going to add a few hp for about 70 bucks) / New catted mid pipe to fix the exhaust problem, intake elbow ( getting rid of the stock one ) / e-fan / and a synthetic oil change and flush the intercooler fluid

 

[Mr Jones 4.6]

I would not recommend going with the E-Fan, unless you want another 5hp it is not worth it on the lightnings especially since you drive it everyday. Just my opinion and experience but leave that as one of the last things to squeeze HP from. I think you are going in the right direction with the exhaust and cleaning everything.

Good Luck

You need to reconnect your #8 spark plug wire.



























Somebody had to be a smart ass it might as well have been me. You will get it figured out, then you will be at 450rwhp and 510rwt.

 

[Lightning Struck]

everybody on the L sites is telling me not to worry about it and just get track numbers on it :-\

 

[ripper]

I would be ABSOLUTELY sure about your a/f first. And dont fergit your video camera.

 

[DropTopPony]

can you just add an external pump like a KB boost a pump instead of the dual in tanks?

thats a good idea, and make sure ur belt isnt slipping!!!! my friends 03 cobra got some dissapointing results just cause the belt was slipping.

 

[M.O.E]

I whouldn't worry about it to much. you still put down some good numbers. Just take it the track and see what times you get.. Then go from their :thumb:

 

[Dalamar]

interesting brian. nice torque curve though.
looks a lot like a modular curve, looks like it's running out of air on top (like a modular)

your right Jeff ( you do know THIS IS A MODULAR RIGHT ??? ) but anyway it is running out of air, the tuner thinks its due to my intercooler NOT being cleaned :-\ :-\ that was a big screw up on my part and I take the blame for it. Ill pay for it in the end too...out of my wallet

 

[Mr Jones 4.6]

Did you resolve the exhaust issue?

man i havent had time to do crap this week, I just got home and the shop is closed.......couldnt make it yesterday either
