Detroit Area Stangers?
 

Who here is from the Detroit metro area? Just curious.

Hey Dan!!! I'm...um...around. ;)

No, seriously, I'm back home in MONroe until Friday or so, then I'm moving out to Grand Rapids for a while.

Me too...

Livonia, MI.

Duh! Well, I knew both of you were in the area. :p Who else?

I'm 40 minutes over the bridge in Canada if that counts

I am also in the area.

Man... you're practically next door to me. ;)

Yep. And I work in Farmington Hills, so I can't be too far.

You should bring that thing over here and let's see it! I don't know anyone else locally that also has a 351 stroker with a NOVI. ;)

Actually, that was the point of my question for this thread. I thought perhaps some of the local MW people could get together and meet.

I have been having a few problems with it lately, I think the injectors are just too big to be controllable at low RPMs. I have 95# in there and need to get to something closer to 72# and it should be more driveable I hope. Then I need to get it on a dyno.

I have 83# injectors in mine and it is perfectly streetable and has good driveability. Lidio Iacobelli tunes my car at Alternative Automotive. He's the man. ;) There's a little trick in how you set-up the MAF vs. the injectors though to getting better driveability when he programs it he had me do though.

It could be my MAF also. I have a 107mm Bullet from Pro-M in there right now. I have a smaller (83mm I think) Pro-M style on the shelf, but haven't gotten it recal'd yet. Which EFI system are you using, or are you using the EEC-IV and a chip?

Careful if you recal the MAF for S/C specs. Pro-M adds like 10% fuel on top end (a good thing), EXCEPT...... By doing that, you lose 10% of your MAF (pegging the MAF limits). Not too bad, unless you are getting close.

I would have it recal'd for NA as I did with the 107mm. I can put the curve directly in the EPEC and use that to enrich the fuel if I want. I would rather control my fuel with the fuel tables rather than have it baked into the MAF curve.

Well, what I did is use a Pro M MAF calibrated for 60# injectors even though I'm running 80#'ers. He currects for it in the tuning calibration and it yields better driveability.

That is basically what I can do with the EPEC, but if I have to get the meter flowed anyway, I may as well get it recal'd for something at least in the ballpark of what I have for injectors. What I don't know is if the MAF is even the problem. I seem to get a pretty decent signal from it, but my injector duty cycle is around 1.5% at idle and less than 5% at part throttle when it seems to load up and pop a bit. The plugs are just sooty after the car idles or runs at low load/rpm for a couple of minutes.

I dunno... you've gotta EPEC. Rudy might be able to help you or point you in the right direction. He's running an EPEC too. I'll send him a link to the thread.

I'm over here on the Eastside!

696 and 94.

I'm in Warren, right off of 696

oh and do any of you know of a Mustang club in the detroit area? I've been trying to find websites and such to see if there are any (which im sure there are just don't know of any.) but hey and help or website that would lead me to a Mustang club in the area would be awesome. thanks
