Richard Holdener Tests a 3800

Night and day tuning with MAP rather than MAF.

Holley, Megasquirt, Haltech, BS3, etc, all crazy simple to tune with MAP.

Unfortunately the only way to tune a 3800 with the factory pcm is to use MAF tuning. The VE tables only go up to 140 kPa on those PCMs.
It hasn't been too difficult for me so far so I'm excited to see if speed density is a lot easier once I switch over to the Holley. I've heard a lot of good things about speed density

If you retrofit to a holley, your gonna be blown away...

No more dividing by 1.21gwatt to get the G/Mjoule...

Nobody tunes off MAF, just Mike because he's a Masochist.

You misspelled talented.

I can go either way, or both ways at the same time.

What are you running for a transmission?

It does sound like fun....

I wish Holdener would partner with Banks and use his air mouse thing that calculates a manifold air density from humidity, temp and pressure to get a constant value/reference.

All this talk of 3800's makes me want to dig my l67 fturd out of dads driveway, throw in the stall converter I bought 7 years ago and never installed, get a proper boost reference FPR, and put a charge cooler on it.

Damn you 3800 people for wanting me to dig up my past....

Air density can't be that hard. Could do a density altitude conversion? Give me some math and I can set the holley up to do it.

You guys struggling with MAF need EFIlive in your life. Puts VE tuning to shame in terms of simplicity. It's a 2D table vs 3D.

Let me dig up my thermodynamics notes and I'll see what I can jog back into my memory.

There's some constant performance value that humidity, temp and pressure reach at different values. I'm sure banks does it with their air mouse thing they just don't publish the math clearly.

Wasn't sure who this was directed to, thought it might've been me but either way I'll take this opportunity to brag about my T56 behind my 3800 😆
