That's great news Dave..
Even though I am a techno geek I am intimidated with an EFI set up.
At York the NSRA show last weekend the guy was there selling mega squirt
and all the goodies
As he started talking it did not take long B-4 he lost me . I;ll have a
hard time I guss giving up my box of HOLLY jets and 4X eye lope :(
your the MAN.....IMO

Subject: [Chevelle-list] EFI finally tuned
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 01:07:57 -0400
I finally got my car into a good running state and got one of my buddies to
help me do some tuning on my Megasquirt controlled 406 tonight.
In a word, wow. In two words, friggin' cool.
We went out on the freeway with Mark driving and me riding shotgun with the
laptop. I had him just roll-on to full throttle while I watched the O2
sensor and noted what parts of the VE Table we were running in. He made a
run, you could feel it was lean, as well as see the O2 sensor showing lean.
We richened up that part of the table, and made another run. That felt
better. Adjust a little more and try again. Within 5-6 runs, we had it
running pretty solid. The Megasquirt is pretty easy to adjust. It beats
the hell out of changing jets.
The Stealthram, combined with my 406, 487X heads, 234/244 .488/.510 cam
really runs strong. Granted, it's been a while since I've driven it (Oct
2004), but it really felt strong tonight. It felt at least as good as it
ever did on the carb in terms of response and WOT power. I'm going to the
dragstrip on Sunday to see if it translates into 60ft, ET, and/or MPH.
Being the first time out with the setup, I wonder what'll break first. :-P
I won't say that I didn't have a bunch of hassle getting my car to run
initially, but exactly as in the Car Craft article, none of them were
related to the Megasquirt malfunctioning - all of mine were ignition
related. The next step will be to get the Megasquirt controlling an 8-pin
HEI so it can run the timing, too. It currently has an MSD pro-billet with
VR sensor and only mechanical advance, no vacuum advance.
I've probably put close to 100 miles on it in the past 2 days without a
hiccup. Woo hoo!
