Yes. We discovered the car was basically locked at 16 degrees of timing advance when cruising on the highway at low loads. Zero'd out the torque protect tables and... it's magically perfect. Fuel economy seems more like what i'd expect. Absolutely no clue what was causing it to go into torque...

used a fuel rail pressure tester and a ridiculous amount of adapters to test exhaust backpressure. <2psi at 4000rpm. That seems fine.

bah. I meant the front oxygen sensor. Had a brainfart because it's on the "rear" of the engine. Zeph's PAU on E85 with the same mods as mine gets 29 indicated, 25-ish actual. I'm getting 14 indicated, 12 actual. that's... broken. Yet we can find no real differences between the two.

Running into weird issues with fuel economy... it seems that most people see about 25-29 highway indicated after doing E85 and a pulley. I'm seeing more like 17 indicated on the highway, 10-12 MPG actual when I fill up. Less than ideal. Here's a list of things I did trying to remedy this...

So I just went back and looked at some videos from when I first put the 3.4" pulley on and I guess it *never* made more than 9psi, I'm just remembering wrong. It's probably fine, then.

Yeah... driving this car straight up didn't happen this winter. We were only able to add like a degree of timing before the car got slower. Still get random KR on shifts that I'm fairly certain is phantom. Yeah... I did realize it was <40 degrees when I saw 10lbs and now it's 70-80. Duh-doi.

ohhhh I've been around. usually I'm standing with my hands in my pockets watching Zeph tig weld an intercooler together out of lawnmower parts and a minifridge or something insane that somehow works.

Hi all, I've never actually made a post here before but now that I'm a few months into absolutely ruining owning my first L67 car (3rd 3800, but the others were NA) I'd make a thread. This is my '03 Park Avenue Ultra. It was a christmas gift from my buddy Tyler who bought it at an auction...

I think I love you

You had me at "shark cum"

Oh thank heavens.

Update: This engine is cursed by some sort of Egyptain god of WTF and after replacing a smashed spark plug it runs on all 6 with decent compression.

woah, Wichita guy with a manual 3800 drag camaro? ...we need to hang out.

Now put that beast of a powerplant in something that looks the part.

I approve of hx52
