General Buick Tech / Is a TT6.1 worth the extra money of the 5.7?
« on: January 08 2017, 02:03:08 AM »
Earl, I would highly recommend the 6.1 if you are not considering SD2.  My only regret of buying the 6.1 is that I didn't go straight to SD2.

It does what it says it will do.  On my unopened longblock 10.99 and 11.07 passes my fuel pressure was off around 12-15 psi where it should have been with my weak pump.  The 6.1 added a ton of fuel and kept the AFR where it needed to be and I got no knock.  The wideband tracking works.

No trees were harmed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced .

They aren't in the infant stage, they've been done and finalized for years.

I didnt meant that in an insulting way.  I meant infant as in not well known by the masses, and only available through you, etc.  And we really havent seen much tech talk about them and now it seems full on censorship has commenced.

Clint deleted it and said I had to pay money and be a vendor.....


...even though Shane, Jay, and Charlie told me to run with it since I was going to bring something new to the members and not compete with any paying vendors.


the real bad part is it was a TECH thread.  I only talked about how to work the blocks to save meat (and money) and how to calculate compression ratios.
Thats bullshit.  At the most they ahould have deleted the post about they guy asking to buy.

They should have left the thread up.  There was a lot of good tech info and discussion in your piston threads and people should,be aware of a product that is still in the infant stage and quite a valuable asset to us.  So how much do they expect you to pay for something you havent made money on?

What happened to his thread at the "other" place?  I got notifications of activity to that thread but it says it was deleted?  I am interested in all discusion related to these pistons.

I recently went 10.99 @122 with 93/alky on unopened longblock.  Untouched heads, cam, intake.  New springs though.  Took north of 35psi to get there. I believe with a tighter converter I could have gone faster. 

Impressive!  What turbo was that with and how much alky did you squirt?
Gen 2 6266, and as far as the alky?  All of it  ;) (gain maxed out, 1 M15 nozzle) was running out of fuel as the pressure dropped off substantially.  I have a RT 680DP setup ready to go in with external regulator and dual feed champion rails.  I hope not to ever worry about fuel again

Easy to see how you made 35 psi LOL


With that turbo, I think you need 80 lbs injectors
Yea. I plan to run 120s when I install the new pumps.  I have a modded ecm and SD2 but would love to go xfi....  I know 120s are overkill but I want headroom in case I ever get access to E85 or get xfi and want headroom for fuel pressure compensation.

What pump were you running?
A well used walbro 255lph with a hotwire kit.....not enough.

Crossing the traps with fuel pressure around 12psi low.  TT 6.1 chip was helping me out ramping the duty cycle / correction up to try to maintain A/F.  Injector duty cycle around 100% on 60s.

All that boost is because the valve job is tired and the bowls are corked up.

I'd love to see those heads come off so a simple bowl port, back cut the stock ex valves and slam it back together.


It's rare these days to find an unopended engine that's turning real times.
Not going through all that work for stock heads.  I have a brand new set of TA Race Ported SE heads waiting to go on something..... Probably going to build a 291 block and use your new trick pistons ;)

Chip was sent express and should be there tomorrow.  Ill try tracking it a little later.  It is burned for a stock engine 60lbs injectors, 16-18psi, 93 octane, 20°/ 18°, and its a 5.6 version and not alky sorry.  Definitely not an optimal burn for you but hopefully will at least allow you to sort out this knock issue.  And get a feel for what you want to order.
