Hey everyone... ive been roaming these forums for a few years, if it werent for posts and advice from people on here, my car wouldnt even exist. So thank you in advance.
Now question / opinion time...lol
Current setup
6 bolt, bored .040
8.5CR
ported/polished head
factory intake/exhaust
large diameter throttle body (i think it came from a non turbo, but it was a long time ago.
E3-16g turbo (factory boost settings - although the boost solenoid is missing)
Aeromotive AFPR (about to install)
550CC injectors
Keydiver stage 3 chip
2.5" exhaust from the CAT back.
factory downpipe
Massive front mount IC. 4" thick.
i have an SAFC2 but, its all set to zero at this point, because of the EPROM chip
2G MAS
minimal Vacuum Lines.
255lph walbro pump, with the fuel pump rewire.
BS removed.
Thats pretty much everything thats in it right now, not bad from a seized block, blown head, pretty much junk vehicle.
The point of the post, is, really where should i take it (once i get her back up and running). I dont have access to an all wheel drive Dyno, so i'm relying heavily on the Chip. my goal has always been 300hp and 300lb's. from research i should have the gear on the car to do it. I have some reliability issues, idle surge, which ive tried to track down, and some days its fine, some days its not.
currently (i suspect because my AFPR isnt installed) it runs really rich, i have to swap plugs every 3000 miles. And i get terrible gas mileage, but it runs like a scolded dog. Once i get my new stuff installed it will return to being my daily driver.
i know i need to get a MBC for it, because right now it just boosts until the wastegate lets it bleed off, and i dont drive it crazy hard accept for every now and then, when i want to hear how cool it sounds...lol I want to get it reliable, and smooth, but powerful so should i want to take it to the local track i can, without having to refuel every lap.
any reasonable suggestions or ideas would be awesome. I live in north eastern OK, so if anyone knows of a 4w dyno nearby, let me know.
thanks, i hope some people have some cool idea's suggestions.
