To do that I need to move a cubby house, move some broken down cars, hire a bobcat and compactor and get to work. The middle of summer is the best time for all that lol After that the shed company does the rest, and they should smash it out in a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 35c here today and the rain was intermittent, so I gave it a miss. The joy of an outdoor dyno. I'll get back on it tomorrow I reckon, keep things fresh and further develop the mafless tune for the Caprice. I have been watching countless hours of LS based HP tuners content, feels like I'm back in school lol. My OTR was lost in the post and after several calls and a couple emails, it's back on track to be delivered next week. That's about all I've got for dyno content, if you want a power run, hit me up, can get you in whenever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth shifting and crisp where it counts! Did a bunch of road tuning to dial in the speed density, now it's much closer to where it needs to be. I'll put it on the dyno tomorrow and sort out the wot stuff, it was a bit rich last time I checked. It'll be interesting to see if the power output changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flamin VCM intake finally showed up this evening at 9pm, would it be bogan of me to go out and fit it now? I'll fit it tomorrow and then I will get the Caprice back on the dyno for some more tuning. I'll be happy if it makes 240rwkw, might even be enough to beat a stock Falcon now Also managed to get the shed ordered this year and it'll be delivered end of January. Should only be a couple weeks for them to have it built and concrete done, will just have to wait and see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pulls better everywhere and is much snappier to drive, but most of that is in the tune I reckon. I've been learning to tune the LS platform flat out lately, spent many hours on YouTube listening to Matt Sanford, heaps of time road tuning/logging as well as a bit of time on the dyno, and I have my head around it pretty good now. Looking forward to doing some cammed stuff soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy had moved the distributor before arrival and it was roughly 20 degrees too far advanced showing pinging, pre ignition and a very high idle. After a quick adjustment with the timing light, it ran up a respectable 162rwkw. The neighbours had just got home so they enjoyed an earful lol. I would give a fark but they have been insufferable carnts since they moved in, noise being the biggest problem. How the turntables 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
