on Ls1tech.com friday the 3rd at the mills is a sonic meet for some Fbodys. I might be there with the silverado [need water pump] next day others are heading to PRP

so how bout those results? did it gain or lose or nothign?

Something is going on. I know that I am a city boy and most 90% of my trips are 2-4 miles at a time. The intake is gross my throttle body has been clogged up with carbon a few times now. I want to plug off my pcv system and run a breather. Has anyone done this efore?? What have you used????
ditch the pcv and run 2 breathers. motor will run alot cleaner

ok, not to get in the middle of this.....
Quick.... Krambo, thanx for your opinons on this. the more i read about this the more i realize there was a combo of things that caused my engine to pop. I went from a NON PCvalve system to a PCV... vortech provided me with one. Almost immediatly i noticed that iw as running oil into my intake and it bother the h(**& out of me. Not being very familiar with a boosted setup i was not sure of the fix.
Now if im not mistaken Krambo said to run both...can you do that or did i just read that wrong. I know for sure i will be buying a catch can for the new motor i cant afford to pop to many of these things.
Thanx for the info guys
heres how mine is
it works for me and im 700rwhp 4.8...with no oil in the motor i think similar setup would owrk wonders for your PackJH

in the past they didnt lock their pcms

I break the rules and drive around the house at WOT all the time!
I can compare tunes just fine too.
Reynaldo, I'd let you download my copy but you have to have the interface connector chinga derra too so downloading it won't do much good.
I took some test drives out at the track today in the parking lot. Everything is fine I think. Timing at WOT was 29.5 and AFR was between 12.5 and 13.0. We'll see how I do on some actual full passes tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys!
27-29 seems to be a sweet spot for the LS motors. Like i stated i seen a gain of 1hp backing it down some. with your timing and AFR it seems to look promising
-
the first 2 post were ok the rest was you guys stating your opinions. whatever man i read alot fo your post and this isnt the first tiome you insulted someone. guess im just old fashion
its not an insult, its called the internet. ppl dont know how ppl come across so they always take it as a neg response. sorry i dont put smiley faces after every reply. there are facts in there.
but good luck with your decisions. im sure whatever it is youll be happy
-
thanks for that....ill remeber that one..when ppl ask me questions i try to help as much as i can and you have to say that to me? being a smart ass? grow up buddy
i doubt ill be asking info from you bud. your answers lie within this thread. its bascially Krambo posted and i did and you didnt read what we wrote. so before rambling off at the mouth actually read a post.

"smacks the forehead" good grief charlie brown

quik, when you work with tunes through the software, I'm assuming the PCM's aren't from other trucks and you are tuning the PCM that was originally in the truck, is that correct? I'm just guessing the relearns that need to be done through mail order tunes are because the PCM wasn't originally from the vehicle its going in. Just a guess.......
no, i ran a tahoe pcm in my truck for sometime never had an issue, ran a truck pcm in a car and never had an issue. swapped pcm's between cars never had issues. i never once experienced one of these crank relearns till i started reading about some of the nation wide tuners. im just trying to learn why these ppl are having these issues when others arent.
-
This is one off the drawback of HPTuners I believe... maybe it has been addressed and fixed but you can not load and compare two different tunes... however you need to go table by table untill you notice what are the differences and maybe you can catch what the differences are.
On a side note I need to download HPTuners so i can help you out more
since ive owned the software i could always compare tunes
It is difficult for him to do this since his truck is a strictly off-road unregistered vehicle now. when he tunes he mostly goes by the track and 1/4 mile logswell that kinda sucks
-
true place for cutouts are after headers and for track use only but majority of ppl dont follow that
-
dont you find it odd that you have spend another 25 dollars after you had already paid for a tune? ive asked this question various times over the years and never got a solid answer from anyone especially "said tuners"
-
but this is why the internet is a great place. you can have good discussions on which direction to take when doing something. theres typical think inside the box and theirs the think above and beyond the box.
im not trying to argue with you Krambo and im sure youre not argung with me. We both see thing differently. I know my setup works and im sure yours works for you.
-
Everyone has an opinion. Mine...run a good PC system that not only vents excess crankcase pressure but also has a fresh air source pulled by vacuum to flush the water vapor / oil vapor. Add a catch can to collect the mist and you are set. I protect my investment.
Good read for you:
PC system explained - venting is just 1/3 of the battle
Sorry, "pressurizing" the crankcase is not flushing with fresh air. Sure your are venting the excess crankcase pressure however are just replenishing the crankcase with "blow-by".
every boosted motor has some blow by. N20 motors also have this. Breathers and breather systems been on race cars for decades. PCV are on daily drivers along with EVAP, EGR and other smog devices.
ppl install a Inline catch can for several reasons. one of them is the stupidest thing ever. cause its a Mod to do type of thing. Also do you really think catching a portion of oil is fixing your cause? no the fact that your still seeing oil into the intake is a bad thing for a motor. a intake should only have Air in it. Nothing else, hell the intakes arent even meant to flow fuel. So now since GM has a BS way of venting the crankcase ppl are buying catchcans to help bandaid the cause. Gm since 97 has several failed attemps at venting the crankcase. The best way to vent the crank case is -10 or larger bungs on the VCs, LS6 valley cover with -6 line. connect the -6 to a T for the -10 into a breather/catch can. Intake stays clean, exhaust smells clean, no harmful oil vapors into motor, no fouled 02s, no loss of oil due to the suction for intake vaccum. Now since NA motors dont need the breather system they can run 2 breathers or if using the Ls6 link a -6 hose from the LS6 cover to the passenger VC and then run 1 breather on each VC
if your NA motor is pushing oil out the breathers its wounded, If your getting tons of oil in your catchcan with a breather system then your motor is also wounded
*edited* also oil being sucked into the intake then entering the combustion chambler can lead to denotation. and as we all know wipes out our motors faster then a fatkid at dodge ball
-
never understood why ppl have to do a crank relearn. delt with software for almost 3 yrs now never had i seen a crank relearn case But, heard of bunch stories of customers from Said known tuners.

Whats wrong with the TBSS intake?
i wouldnt waste my time on a larger opening intake that flows similar to the truck intake. the cost of it isnt worth the gains you get
-
if your in highschool the kid is fibbin.... his car probably isnt even close to those numbers. its like getting th summit books and adding up all the HP with all parts you just bought. also dont waste your time on the TBSS intake
-
what is the code?
-
from a 6spd owner's POV stick with auto for these trucks
-
its more benefical for Carb'd motors then our EFI motors. we dont nearly have the issues of vapor lock as the carb'd motors do
-
your first chart on the histrogram is your timing chart. go drive for a few minutes with WOT bursts. stop the recording and play back where you went WOT. youll see the cells light up. this is your WOT timing. then go to editor and cross reference the two charts
-
I am sure you tuned for that "controlled air leak" right, otherwise you will have fueling fluctuations. You also should have a fresh air supply to flush the harmful vapors out of your crankcase.
Did Magna say to not run a PC system or just not run a CC? I would have to disagree with Magnacharger on this one. While it may "run better" (not sure how), you will be creating a nasty environment for your engine internals to live in. Not evacuating the moisture and acidic vapors from your crankcase will cause damage over time to the metal surfaces of your internal components. IMHO of course.
Race setups for decades run setups like this. its nothing new to todays world. the vapors are flushed out the motor its called pressurized. I have no issues with my breather setup, Nor will others. all my NA combos run 2 breathers on valve covers. none of them have issues. no lines going to intake to create that "so called air leak"
-
I know theres alot of guys on here running a catch can with there setups. I have one that I want to put on my new setup, but after getting off the phone with the guys at magnacharger. They are saying not to run one with the 2300. they said it will run better without it. So sould I run one or not?
on a boosted setup you shouldnt use PCV setup. run 2 hoses, one from each VC to a catchcan/breather. this is best setup since you wont be putting oil mist or etc back into the motor.
Will This Work On An Sss?

that intake flows the same as the regular ls1 intake. i have one on my truck and i use it only for boost. I wouldnt waste my time or money on that. if you want any intake go with the tried and true FAST 90.
I think you might benefit from the RAM JET style edlebrock style intake once that comes out
