1982 Monte E85 Blow Thru Procharged SBC Build *PICS and VIDS ADDED***RUNNING***

How did I miss this - SWEET

You are here now thats all that counts! lol

Not sure how many are interested but I have a quick clip of the MSD 6AL-2 Programmable in action. I have a 3 bar MAP sensor hooked to it. You can see RPM, current total amount of timing retard, and MAP reading. The MAP reading is absolute and reads in PSI. Basically key on, with car not running it reads atmospheric, which at this time of year is right around 15psi. WIth the car idling it is reading ~10.25 psi. 15-10.25= 4.75psi or about 9.5" of vac.

Got a cage in it?
Expected ET?

No cage. Yet. It ran an 11.57 @ 117mph NA, a wild guess is 10.50-10.70 at 5-6psi. I am going to run it on the street only this year. If I miss going to the track then I might put a cage in it next winter.

You can make that one blast before they call you back to tech.

Good looking car!!

I don't think I'd do that, I'd like the safety gear for myself. I usually only do rentals with my buddies. Maybe I'd throw a diaper on it and do some 1/8th mile hits with it. Otherwise if I really get the itch for the track I'll have my cousin do a cage.

Lol I know. But I would feel safer doing an 1/8 mile test hit at100mph without a cage as opposed to 130mph in the 1/4.

Took the car out for her first drive. The DA here was -700ft yesterday lol, it ended up making 8.5lbs of boost which is too much. Probably going to have to get a different pulley. It ran good though. The carb is very very close. It looked like the fuel pump was keeping up as well.
I ended up replacing my old AEM wideband gauge with a new AEM wideband failsafe gauge. For the price this thing can not be beat! I displays both AFR and Boost/Vacuum at the same time. It also has an input for RPM signal. Besides being a AFR/Boost gauge, the gauge itself has 2.5 hrs of internal memory. So basically it will record 2.5hrs of data, and then when full, it just starts to overwrite the oldest data. Once you hook it to a laptop you can download the data log and view it on regular AEMData. The gauge logs AFR, Manifold pressure, and engine RPM.
The gauge also allows you to set lean/rich AFR limits that are dependent on manifold pressure. So basically you can set your lean limit for idle cruise to be 14 or 15:1 and then slowly bring it down to say 12:1 at full boost. If you go outside the lean limit you set the gauge will blink. It also has a grounded output that will trigger so if you want you can hook that to a stage retard on an MSD box so if the motor goes lean you can have it pull extra timing.
If anyone is interested more in the gauge/logger I can post some pics. I would literally never own another carbed car, boosted or not, without it.

Time for the Party Pulley!
