Adam did sean contact you? and what was wrong with the steering? Pump or rack?

they replaced both at the same time so they don't know what the problem was, but they fixed it.

That 140hp Cressida linked the hole thing pretty consistent in the pro am I beloved he placed 2nd

That cressida was not linking the track. It also had like -31 degrees camber and toe out in the back. Then he got 3rd place, without linking the track.

yeah, that dickhead in the v8 white coupe didnt even qualify....what a joke

Yeah, see when you take the supercharger off, the car then has enough power to spin tires fast enough to make the car spin out. I think you need a restrictor plate?

It looks like somebody made that dyno sheet in microsoft paint.

1. RPMs will never be that linear.

2. It doesn't show what RPMs the engine is at, just that they are increasing. (for all we know, that sheet could be ending right at 5k RPMs where the power starts falling off)

3. That's the rockiest boost line I've ever seen.

4. Same as #3, only the Secondary AFR

5. There are no actual AFR #s...

This whole dyno chart looks like Bullshit, anyone else agree?

like i said, your so confident with your diagnosis, enlighten everyone on ls1tech how the magnuson doesnt work with a stock cam, including the hundreds or thousands running around with a stock cam and m112 who arent having your problem. :bigthumbu

this is from a gto with a magnuson supercharger

and as you can see the power tapers down in the higher rpms

thanks, i spent 2 seconds on ls1tech to find something i knew was a magnuson dyno after google images didnt give me what i wanted.

dropping from 480rwhp to 450rwhp wont result in having to clutchkick 4 times in the horseshoe.

just incase no one knew this guy was actually driving the car and worked on the car as well so he knows exactly what is going on..

I never said that it wouldnt work, i said that it is common for ppl to upgrade there camshaft before or during a supercharger installation.

you still didnt answer any of my questions.

And who's to say that either of those dyno sheets are from a 2001 model?

Anyways, it seems like this isn't a mechanical issue, more of a tuning issue. I'd like to take a look at that tune because it seems like it might be getting hot air(these things tend to just blow hot air after 4.5-5k rpms at 6psi) and pulling a lot of timing out up top.

my offer still stands adam, talk to ken.

im really trying not to come across as a dick, but the camshaft=problem hypothesis just makes absolutely no sense at all whatsoever. i tried to find some sort of logic or thought pattern that would purposefully overlook something but i just dont see anything that could even lead to that.

like i said, double check and make sure everything is working properly. who tuned it? im just going to be honest, did they know what they were doing?

the only two times ive had a similar problem was when the ecu wasnt getting its (whatever) volts it needs to be happy, and cutout super hardcore around irwindale, but since yall didn't mention anything about charging issues, im assuming thats not anything related. and at summit point when i lost an oil pump as soon as i unloaded off the trailer with my 144k mile temporary motor because the machine shop still wasnt done with my ''good'' which turned out to be crap because our machine shop sucked @ ls1.

stuff gets overlooked when throwing a car together in weeks. start there. i hear crett collins is good with plugging in crank angle sensors, but your car runs so you may not need him.
 
MTI tuned it and from what i hear is a fairly reputable shop. im thinking that the issue is in the tune. i wanna datalog it and watch IATs and timing when it starts falling off.

the thing is youre coming in here just saying we did something wrong..
how could we have done something wrong when the motor is bone stock with a super charger bolted on?
what vas said about the cam overlap or the tune is the only thing making sense
 
the tune being sketchy = plausible

incompatibility with blower and stock cam = not plausible.

i dont know who either of yall are, i really dont care, but to see bill's easy way out fag motor not work needs to get fixed, and somewhere in the thread seemed like yall were going to replace the stock cam, which isnt going to solve anything.
