  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_altitude

    Air density is a computation mainly dependent on the temperature, barometric pressure, and the humidity of a volume of air.

     

    One can relate to how these factors effect the density of the atmosphere by using a balloon to simulate the earth's atmosphere. When a balloon is filled with air and placed into a refrigerator it begins to shrink. The reason for this is due to the drop in temperature of the air inside the balloon. As the air cools it releases energy and slows down. Because the air molecules are not bouncing off each other as much they remain closer together and more of them will now fit in a smaller area. The opposite will occur if the balloon is heated. This same effect will occur if this balloon is placed in a pressurized chamber. If the pressure in the chamber is increased it pushes the walls of the balloon in causing the air inside to occupy less space.

     

     

    I am going out when its in the 40's for sure

  2. I wonder if its sucking the supply line empty....is there a venturi on the basket still? There were some guys on the GTO/G8 board who were saying that you could use up all the fuel in the lines in 10 sec of WOT.

     

    Shawn keep me posted if you are hitting the track, I need to get out and dont want to be the only sss.

  3. I am reading a few different places on fuel set-ups...basically the buckets are interchangeable or the bottoms are...but the G8 guys are doing alot of math on how long @ WOT before you can empty the bucket...it was like 10sec....so you need to do the return line swap, and use the supply to return more fuel to the basket and then there is the issues with the ventuir (sp) pump not working with added flow.

     

    I was seaching on PT.net and found the info/link about the G8 guys using truck fuel baskets...

  4. this sucks. I am still getting suring.

    I have:

    matched the timing tables across the high, low and idle.

    added tq to the ac table

     

     

    I dont think its a mechanical issue b/c it will idle good and only does the surging sometimes.

     

    Can I do away with overspeed? and only have the underspeed give a spark correction?? I am tired of this...progress I felt I made may be none.

     

    and my buddy is waiting on his Ctsv wagon...

  5. do it. ford is out selling eco boost's over the 6.2

    turbos that are for smaller engines are easier to come by.

    the small displacement v8 just put down over 900hp in hotrod...so the power is there with 4L

     

    I would make a list of all the parts you would need.

    aside from the turbo choice, you will need to shop for:

    injectors

    fuel pump

    fuel press regulator

    a tuner (BIG factor in destroying blocks and stuff :))

     

    cold side

    innercooler

    BOV

    Wastegate....

     

    once you have a list we can start talking details, budget....

  6. Im down lol and thanks.... im still not done with it yet looking to make it a 408 if i can with my 5.3

     

     

    Whats done to your HOE? Any pics or vids?

     

    you are gonna need a 6.0 to make it to 408 with any cylinder walll left...Zippy's 408 build is pretty awesome, budget friendly and some nice parts to boot.

     

    I could not get guys together here in MI, but I bet you(Zippy) could!! :)

  7. that tune also has some added TQ for the AC, it also changed one value in the accessory torque table too (dont know why but one cell changed color)

     

     

    I am still getting some rpm drop when I come to a stop :( FK

    so I am thinking its the over/under speed. its funny it does not do it all the time. I feel like its some type of delay thats getting hit, and then it searches for the idle. Like if I am moving from stop to stop, as if I am the third car waiting at a stop sign to go thru. By the time I am the car at the stop sign the truck willl search for the idle. SO each time I give it light throttle and then come to a stop it counts it and then the next time it triggers the correction routine and three levels of recover till its back to the commanded idle.

  8. mine does this too, I have the big three upgrade on my alternator wires.

     

    Any electric motor you try to run and it is not able to spin b/c the windows are up is going to be a draw.

     

    these trucks did not have the biggest alternator, the escalades had bigger alternators and dual batteries. both of those parts can be added to the SSS

  9. I am going to use an IAT adder table that looks like a zo6 one. It will not remove any timing until intake temps is 113 and it will add timing when the temp is 32.

     

    I am also not going to add any timing. I think the table I have is good, it was just getting alot of timing pulled. I think I could have kept adding and I would never have seen it bc it was getting pulled right back out.

  10. TQ MAGT>Engine>AC compressor TQ vs IAT

    - - - - - - 90 111 113 154 176 198

    1.992 1.992 1.992 1.992 9.492 11.992 15.000 18.008 20.000 21.992 25.000 32.500 35.996 38.008 39.004 40.000

     

    how would you modify these values? the value w temps above are the ones I would need to change since they would be the one that would matter....any hotter or colder and you will not be running the AC.

     

    should I select the one I want to raise, and then multiply them by like 10%? or should I find the difference between them and add a certain amount?

     

    I find my self thinking back to math class and different equations represent different curves, and looking at these HPT tables I try to remember the equation and add values that come from that generic eq. I am not polished enough to argue it or anything but I know random is really hard, and most times there can be some math behind things (the golden ratio blows my mind!!)

     

    So if I take my data and put it into excell I can generate functions...technology is amzing...trendline. sorry I am typing this post and playing with HPT and Excell :)

     

    gonna post this....but I put a second order polynomial trandline in and my guess for how to move it is a little better
