given i have a vert, but my raceweight is 3540 with me in it. i set my valve lash with the motor running warmed up, adjusted each rocker one at a time, backed it off until it clacked loud and squirted oil everywhere, hand tightened the rocker until it stopped clacking (pretty much hand tight) the i added 1/8 turn and then i lock the nut, maybe i should have just went hand tight then locked the nut?

i will check my fuel pressure at wot at 6500 and see if it drops.
you leave the vacuum line unplugged during the WOT run correct?

i still have stock injectors, fuel pump, throttle body.

 

Nice #'s. My numbers in the sig with one size bigger cam and a tune that had me @ 10:1, which I leaned out with the regulator. I made 368rwhp with 10:1 and leaned it to 383rwhp.

 

I don't see any reason why he couldn't pick up at least 20 rwhp with a good dyno tune. The car is running way too lean up top and it costing him quite a bit of power. That coupled with other little changes to the tune (ie, timing), I think a 20 rwhp gain is attainable. 30 rwhp is obviously the high side. I know I gained a solid 2 mph just by richening the pcmforless tune up....not even a dyno tune.

 

I ran consistant 112s with that cam on crappy bald nitto 450s and I ported my heads my self with stock valves and absolutely no tune.....

 

Not being an smartass or anything but did he say why he runs only 13.9??

 

SJS yes my fastest time is 13.9 with an average of low 14's trapping 104-106.

 

Your killing your et's with that 2.5 60ft. Get some drag radials and you will see at least 1.9's or better. Get a custom tune also, that will address any issues you have. The worst thing you can do is start changing things without maximizing what you have first. Changing the cam will still need a custom tune. I'm sure you have more in your combo.

 

QCKZ28 those are some good numbers for a A4 especially with a pcmforless tune. Get your 60ft's down to a 1.7-1.8 and you will see low to mid 12's and you mph will go up. I ran my times with a slipping clutch on Mt Et streets. I ported my heads myself and still have the stock 1.5 rockers.

Rob.

 

who else has dyno # for xe224/230 and ported heads??

 

you e/t and mph is all fudged up.............theres definetly something wrong here.


even with horrible 60ft, and spinning........you should still trap higher than that.

 

that's what I was thinking. My 97 bone stock 1 month outta the showroom did a 14.1.

 

traction is so horrible my 330' feet average 6.7 and i always gain 23-24 mph in the last half of the 1/4
jesse

 

A little OFF subject but what does this guy charge for porting heads. Can you guys give me some info, how much did you all pay.

 

t/a kid you have mail.
