xe230/236 ported heads need tuning help
Well the car runs on the new program I got, but it is fouling plugs really fast so I'm sure it's getting too much fuel. I am getting it dynotuned May 8th but as it stands now, I can't even drive the car to the shop. Does anyone have a program for a similar heads/cam combo? The car seems to do fine idling in park, but once a load is put on it, it starts quickly fouling plugs. I took it for a ride w/ stock stall (I have a vigi 3000 to put in) and I punched it from a 15 roll or so in first gear and smoked em well into second before I had to let off (a little too sideways for my liking). I'm almost positive the car is mechanically correct, I really think tuning is where the problem lies. Anyone have any idea what I could to do make this thing run right? I can't even drive it far enough to get my true duals welded up :-(. If you need any more information, I will provide is asap. Here are the specs of the car...
94 z28, 80k, hooker lt's, xe230/236, "stage 2" heads (bought off a fellow cz28.com member...they flow 260/190 at .550" lift), soon to have a vigi 3000 in there, k/n cold air kit, and my 3" true dual setup that isn't on yet. TIA...

Yeah stock fpr and stock injectors. Turns out my problem was the map sensor. Car is running pretty good now. It's at exhaust shop getting true duals put on and I might try to drive it home tomorrow. I still have the 3000 vigi to put in.
Wow, thats great. I'm putting together a similar set up and from what I've read, our injectors are gonna exceed a safe duty cycle. 30# SVO would work well at the factory fuel pressure so an AFPR may not be necessary. When are you gonna make it to the dyno?
First I'd like to make this face.
Someone apparently voltage spiked on the dyno yesterday and messed up the dyno computer at ape. Something to do with data acquisition stuff or whatever. I was on my way there and called to let em know that. Well, apparently they called yesterday to tell me but either way, they overnited the computer back to Mustang (company who makes the dyno) and they might have it back for monday but they will call me when they get it back.
As to not disappoint everyone, I am desperately trying to find a dyno to at least get a few pulls in :-). Stay tuned...I might have some results tonight after all.

Okay the other shop is backed up today but they said they might be able to get me in for a few pulls tomorrow around 5-7pm or so. I'll already be up there watching my friend's car get tuned so hopefully I'll get some pulls in. Then I think I'm sending the air/fuel ratio charts to Bryan to have him finetune like that. He did a great job w/ this basetune though let me tell ya! I HIGHLY recommend him. He's the man. I'll keep ya guys updated :-). Anyone wanna guess what this thing will lay down? Take it mind, mustang dyno not dynojet. Stock (or stock w/ intake exhaust maybe) 2002 z06 layed down 342 rwhp for comparison.
You guys are making me pull my hair out! I tried to get in Friday but they were extremely busy. I stayed until almost 11pm too but they just couldn't do it which is understandable. I'm trying to get it done this week but I plan on hitting the track Friday so at least I'll have some numbers with stock stall and nitto's. MPH should give us a good estimate on rwhp anyways, but I hope to be at the dyno by Wed / Thurs.

Thats OK, thanks for keeping us informed.
