Thread: low boost

well that was an interesting 24hrs, so my question now is if boost spike is normal on a root style blower then how the hell do you tune the spark tables smooth if your being forced to go from 25 degrees of timming to 5 degrees of timing to get rid of the kr at the top of the rpms. i have 0 counts untill 4,000 then i get 2 until i shift or let off and im down to 5 degrees of timing and i already added fuel to compinsate and im still getting kr

I wanna be banned

the boost spike is normal up top like that, tune the spark by the rpms......

Im probably wrong with the restriction theory . But i do know on my cobra i purchased a whipple for more more boost capability but also it was more efficent at higher rpm without pressure drop off Look @ whipple.com

Forgive me here im trying to figure out how to reply to the post and screwing up selecting the wrong quotes . I will go to the newbe site

Im going to throw a set of headers on this week an see what happens i mean other than my intake and northstar kit the car is pretty much stock it just amazes me that gm can justify putting that much timing in the car from the factory especially with a blown motor an for what a couple more mpgs

mods are
northstar kit
ngk tr6
stock pulley size

I think the spike from 6# to 9# is wierd. I saw a guy with a 66 corvet normally aspirated build a engine and show low numbers for the build. he added cutouts to bypass the exhaust and gained 90 hp on the dyno go figure. I have a old van that with rattleing in the cat could cause restriction. I still think exhaust could cause spike. Boost creep would be ok WOT tune should be ok . How about belt slippage untill it gets hot then hooksup driving the blower quick to a spike

no belt slippage, the pulleys are fine and the belts are new, the headers go on this week so i will see what that does but thanks for the info every little bit helps
