Update On Issues - Driveability and Detonation
Well my long saga has finally come to an end, with my car running great, not quite as fast but running slightly faster than stock Vortech. After having the stock Vortech S-Trim installed my next upgrade was a Diablo Custom Chip, Anderson PowerPipe, and 90 mm MAS. The shop wanted me to go with 42 pound injectors but I balked at the extra money so they said they should be able to make it work with my 30 pounders. So I went with it. After the install I had serious detonation issues and some mild driveability issues, under moderate excellerations my little pony bucked like a wild bronco, under WOT or very light throttle things were OK. The car felt much faster and the track proved it out. A couple gallons of race fuel prevented the detonation. Car ran at 12.6 @ 111 mph as a best. However after about 15 runs on several trips to the track, I could never come close to that one run, as I had a few 12.7's in the 110 mph range and the car really seemed to settle into the 12.8, 109 range. The stock Vortech install with stock MAS ran 105 to 106 mph @ about 13.0 range. It turns out the 30 pound injectors couldn't push enough fuel for the 30 pound injectors, so back went in the stock MAS and a chip burn to match it. Car runs great, zero detonation, and driveability is great. Car now runs right in the middle of the stock Vortech install and the 90 mm MAS upgrade. Just back from the track the the car runs 13.0 in the 108 range. For everyone's fyi my 60 times stink, 2.0 all night long. Once I get a little more money I am going to go with the 42 pound injectors and 90 mm MAS and another chip burn. Any input on this story is alway appreciated.
