Edelbrock Stage 1 Dyno Results

[wsfrazier]

Still working through my part throttle bucking/surging issues on a PBD tune. Making progress though...

PBD got mine pretty dialed in. If I stab the throttle out of no where, it surges/bucks a little but I i chalk that up as its a large blower moving a lot of air, even at low rpm.

Out of curiosity, did you take the nitrous pill out of the bypass line, or leave it in?

I have only taken the e85/ eddy stage 2 pbd around the block for a data log and it definitely bucks and surges. Obviously, I hope some of it will be tuned out with revisions because that was just the base file
The surges seem to be around shifts... which is a lot with the 10r80 lol

I took the nitrous pill out on install

I installed it without it and then put put it back in to help with the severity of the surging/bucking...

You’re using the 103mm TB right?

Yeah I do. I know its not a stage 1 but it seems the surging is common no matter the tb or pill

Wonder if that's just tuning, I’m sure with tune revisions u guys will be happy

I have had zero bucking and surging. Stage 1 kit with Edelbrock Tune 91 and 93 tune. Still have the pill in. I get an occasional dying on a hot start with the A/C running. But it doesn't happen that often. I think the idle is too low. I'll hopefully be able to datalog the car tonight. Boostbox is in... but I'm having trouble finding actual instructions for livelink on it. Still learning how to build a config file that works once it's transferred to the BDX. Frustrating but someone much better at this stuff is going to look it over tonight.

I should mention I am an MT82 car, seems like everyone else in here complaining about the surging is an auto. I am guessing it's a lot easier to tune/dial in the car with a manual since there are no transmission tables to take into account.

I'm not overly concerned about it... but it is embarrassing when at a car show and everyone wants to hear how quiet the supercharger is. Kinda gives everyone a bad taste in their mouth. You hear a lot of "uh, oh" comments.

They cant really do anything you got to think that any changes they would send you has to be resubmitted for certification to carb ect.....yes I have...
It is a little embarrassing but not as embarrassing as spending 12k blowing an engine and still cant smash it to WOT lol....I learned to live with the little hot restart issue long ago......least of my worries....

I have to get my dataloging working first. Not much time to mess with the car here lately. Single dad life. Hopefully tonight we figure out the boost box settings. I'm still curious what boost I'm making. lol
