@squirrel The second purple line boost ? I believe if able to spool up You would be right @ yr goal or Low 10:20's For some reason I can not load Yr data log that you posted
Not to get this thread too far off, but that vette is a 427ci LS based engine. In an interview he said canted heads, lots of camshaft and lots of compression. Now back to Jim... You are working on being bracket consistent! Its still weird to think of you with electronic ignition and electronic fuel injection
I just heard from my brother Mike and he said he was talking to you today. Big bearded dude with a really tall sidekick (my other brother)
I made another pass, it didn't work, and I smoked 2nd gear. On the road now, driving like a pg, 1st to third
You are headed back to MIR ATI @ on out skirts of Baltimore 695 W. side you can pick up a 400 kit , I do not like ATI inc , I feel they're ""dishonest"" , but if you want a kit they have it . They might even be at MIR tomorrow with their trailer & Kit, If you want to bench it.
Ill just put it in the trailer after I make my run tomorrow. I'll probably run a high 11. Hopefully Hamb guys
RPM went off the chart. Looks like 62 to 64.5 along the bottom shows a 2450 stall or limiter. AFR and target AFR don't seem to be in the same scale. Misfire during stall? They are close during the run, but not before or after. I'd expect the center top to bottom to be stoch (14.7) or Lamda (1.0) and you want richer during the run.This is reflected by target, but actual goes super lean during the stall. Boost looks okay, developed a bit during stall and it rose with RPM. MAT is not looking useful. If you can get wheel speed or knock, they might help more. I assume 67.5 along the bottom is where the stuff hit the fan.
I think that was the time that it went "zing!" and I ended up cruising to the turn off. Tomorrow will be fun, it should be a relaxing day. No pressure. this is a typical hotel parking lot on thursday night.
I was thinking about it this morning, and sure enough, the log from Tuesday told me the transmission was going away, I just didn't see it. here it is...look at the red line showing RPM as it drops after the first shift, it takes a while to settle into place.
When I was a kid in grade school, in 1959, I was 6 years old, and I was in first grade. It was also when I discovered my grandmothers personal, Smith Corona, portable typewriter, and it had a very cool fiberglass shell, carrying case with a distinctive pattern in the shell of this carrying case. @squirrel is the only person that this will make any sense to, or about! It was fascinating to me, and it was when I first started to use it as a way to write letters, I had no white out, and if I misspelled a word, I would just hit the shift key and type a bunch of XXXXX's over the misspelled word and continue. That was also the first time, when I was a first grader, that when I had to go to the principals office for what ever reason, that I got my first glimpse of an I.B.M. electric (Selectric) typewriter, with that lighting fast "type ball" or in the trade known as the "golf ball" that had replaced the mechanical linkages and levers of the typewriter I was used to. Purely as a coincidence, I live in Seattle, where the" Smith Tower" is, which was the headquarters for the Smith Corona Machine company, and at one time it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi. It truly does amaze me, at how technology has grown and advanced over the decades, and when I see these graphs and readouts that are displayed here, and deftly and artfully explained by @RodStRace in a manner that gear heads can relate to, especially when its pointed out, that the transmission was going away, but it wasn't noticed, well, that just blows my mind, which isn't hard to do! "CHEEPS" Journey continues! "ZINGLESS"
Yeah, it boggles the mind. We had a royal portable when I was a kid. I took typing in 8th grade, the only boy in the class.
"QWERTYUIOP", pronounced as "Kwertyoooohhhiieeoppp" was always one of my favorite words, when it came to scrabble or just using that word as an exotic ingredient, when explaining the use of it, when used in the process of leather tanning!
My grandfather was a small town banker. He bought one of the first IBM Selectrics for his best secretary. The "golf ball" proceeded to shred-up the multi-part forms. She demanded her old typewriter back.
Shucks @41 GMC K-18 , That was just basic description, but glad it helped. The broad trends are one thing and cover Basics just like reading a old 'scope of spark lines. The real pros will notice small transients and time differences in (example) TPS and Boost change and be able to discern inlet flow quality and turbo sizing.
Ran 11.64 with 1-3 shift. Not bad. Average was 11.10 I think, over the 5 days. I'm satisfied with how it worked. I need to keep plugging away...rebuild the transmission a bit stouter, probably add a brake to it? and keep playing with tuning. Now for the long drive home. I hope to take Janet to a Buc ee's or two along the way, she's never been.
Stay safe and have a great return trip. Tell Janet it was a pleasure to meet with her. Good luck in the future with the Cheep.
@squirrel Success No Tow required during endurance competition . Was the 400 same trains that was in your Chevy 2 ? If Not what parts different then 400 in Jeep,, Chevy 2 Manual V body , was there Trains Brake ? Hard to think the Ls killed the 400 & boost coming in above 4,500 ish . & The Chevy 2 427 & roots blower held up , What 2 or 3 times chris crossing USA .
This 400 is one I got last year, it's from a 1969 motorhome. It does not have park. It does have the relatively heavy duty clutches, etc. But when I put it together, it just got stock replacement clutches and a manual valve body...I didn't even put a spring in the pressure regulator. So I was not really expecting it to live very long. Plan II has a better transmission. Once it lasted 5 years between overhauls.
