Boosted 3.8 series 2 fbody basically a camarobird if you will, Y87 package m5 3.23 posi
Cartuning fbody hotside with ebay t70 and precision 39mm gate set close to 10 psi depending on da as I've got a broken exhaust stud and I think my China bov may be causing some issues as well. Could be 9.6 during the day and hit 10.4 at night but I could be getting some creep on the spring too. Time and screwing with it more will tell I'm sure.
Deka 60s soon to be 80s as startups have been a pain for me when making the switch to corn and so far I've found that i need to clear out alot of adder tables to clear up some other annoyances I have with the zzp tune I went off of and adjusting the injector rates seems to be the best route. Stock fuel pump until I have time to get the 450 in and I don't really want to cut a hole in a mostly clean mostly rust free other than just starting on the bottom, leak free pretty decent car.
Runs out strong and steady on e10 pump gas to about 15⁰ at 11.5 afr at 5500 da without more than a hint of kr to let you know the sensors are still working now. Idles starts and cruises as well as it did brand new other than the typical fbody rattles. Injectors show a Lil under 70% and if I had to guess I would say right around 270 or 280 at the rear wheels. I know the cartuning kit stock was rated at 280 rwhp but I believe it was a bit smaller turbo and I'm not sure what size spring came in the gate. The last pull i put on it with this tune up but a little fatter was 260ish and that's when it went 101 with alot of spin so I feel the roller calibration to be fairly accurate. That was around 8.5 psi with some major hotside leaks.
Plan to put in 1.9 modded stock rockers and comp 105 springs to let it breathe a little better but want to stay stock cam for the torque side of things and idle characteristics as I have been cruising it around at this point because its fun as hell to drive and have about 300 miles on its current state including a 2 hour drive without any major issues other than blowing a cheap ic boot apart and it likes to sweat a little horsepower wherever it parks.
Super fun car to drive and bounce off the limiter but doing so has already torn somethin loose underneath, I'm assuming a Trans mount bushing or the torque arm bushing from advice from my mechanic guru friend at work as it likes to float the shifter in 1st and 3rd pretty good now so I haven't been too hard on it since that started. Also haven't had time and ambition to crawl under it and see whats going on either. At any rate I've got a few suspension parts laying around and what I don't have I'll take from the other car as I eventually still plan on putting the 60e and the 3.42 rear in this so it'll actually hook from a dig and hopefully not break things.
Hoping she's still welcome here as she really is a blast for a slow v6 and I know how tcg loves a rwd 3800, if not I admittedly was a mess building this thing and apologize again for my prior threads being so chaotic. Couple current pics if you guys haven't seen how the cartuning kit is setup up for the fbody, I know there weren't alot of them made mostly due to the success of an ls swap to make real power and they're a massive improvement over the horrible ebay hotside setup. Rather booger tig somethin together with vbands and elbows than ever deal with that garbage again. Someday I'll have a nice turbo and a different set of heads on it to make it worthy of them.
