LOL - you are sort of missing the point. I would have made massive gains over the evening if the alternator (and brakes?) hadn't died. I can tune the car just fine. And will. At the track.
I cannot do road hits because a) I am a senior officer in the Army, b) my family relies on my ability to drive and my good insurance rates, and c) I am running for public office in my municipality. So, no.
Ls1 brake swap you say? Seems I'm going to have a surplus rear set soon.
Sounds like a good shakedown run at the track, you found problems and didn’t die. That's a win. 😉👍

I didn't miss the point, I was making a crack. I figured the Daisy Duke reference would give it away
Good luck with the public office thing. I'd rather go find some long and straight uphill on ramps.
^^^^^^ that's another crack
Sincerely Mike, good luck with the public office.
p.s. - you are aware that a license is only is piece of "the man's" paper, right?

Good info.

64nailhead water/meth is pre-turbo, IAT is stuffed in the top of the manifold. So it has to go a fair distance.
Theoretically it is fully vapourized before it hits the sensor... so the sensor's recovery rate is unlikely to be influenced by it. This is why not starting off with a heat soaked sensor would be an advantage (timing wise).
The car left the line at 156*F IAT and trapped around 185*F. In the log pic you can see how quickly it rises in third gear.
HELP - Any brake bleeding tricks????
Hey guys. So I had kinda forgotten about the whole front hub/brake growling issue on the cutlass until last week going to the car show. It's quiet until 55mph+ and it's an audible noise and vibration too. Sure enough, I had my master cylinder to prop valve lines reversed as the pic motorheadmike...

Thanks, I had fun and got a new story... and keep me posted on the rears.
Bummer the budget buster alternator but it's not bent sheet metal so I'm my book it's only a minor flop. Ideal, no, but it's overall not terrible!
If I'm correct you have very few miles on the car, are you sure the wiring you have isn't killing the alternator? I'd check that before subjecting the new one to whatever might be wrong.
