The car should be getting dyno'd on Thursday. He spent prob $10K+ in diagnosing a P0340 code and pretty much gave up and locked the cams out to take the phasers out of the equation.
The 3-4 RPM drop is a lot but even after the shift at 5800-5900RPM he said the car looses all power pretty much. Looking at logs, everything tune related seems to be fine. Timing is good and the boost is there as well. Based off of some dragy hits the car is significantly slow after that 3-4 shift.
He has a dedicated vacuum block and the brake booster sees vacuum directly from the manifold not the block. If this thing had VCT I don't think we'd be struggling with most of these issues.
It seems that these cams are too aggressive for the stock springs even tho the guy that spec'd them out...
The belt routing diagram is in the install instructions on the ESS website. Just release the tensioner pull the belt off. Replace pulley, route the new belt accordingly and torque the pulley down when the belt is tight.
I'm glad you got it sorted out. I had the same issue with another "top" tuner in the space and I tore my stuff apart multiple times to try and find this Vacuum leak I had for over a month. Eventually it came down to a junk base file, but I didn't have the heart to tell them their tune sucked...
I decent set of tires will hook on a 40. Maybe some rear shocks to help prevent the car from bouncing all around. LUND might turn it down if you ask, or you can start with a larger pulley. 115 with all the supporting mods will prob make 650 ish +. Also if you don't want to make as much power you...
It's going to be on a 115 for the 93 stuff, then E85 with a 10% lower should be put me in the 100-105 ish range. I might ditch the 10% lower and use normal pulley's to increase boost but I haven't decided yet.
Ported CJ Twin 69, Comp Stage 3 cams, Meziere EWP, Stock 2016 mt82, 4.09's car weighs 3400 with me in it(base model car, drag brakes, anti gravity battery, ecoboost radiator, Bias ply tires all around some other odds and ends to get the weight out of it). 28" hooser qtp, 2 step is set to I think...
That Tq is niiiiiice. I mean it almost makes sense. Other mods play a part, the brand of dyno can make a pretty big difference. Those tires def soak up some HP too.
My buddy went 10.69 at about 700whp at about 100ft of DA. Little bit of weight out of the car, but the car is not optimized yet. He Doesn't have enough gear. Gears/Tires and drivers ability play a huge factor in how fast it'll go with a stick.
I have been 10's all motor with a mt82, but my car...
