Whats up Rob? long time no talk to. what ratio are you looking for ? I have been thinking of adding a  set of roller rockers 1.55's but it's either that or alky so well see, I think I am goin to have Russ Merrit take a look at my knock problem and look into the lifter preload also.
did you clearance the shaft pedistals yet? I wish someone told me to do this while I had the heads off. I am nervous about chips in my new engine. oh well, where are you at on your build? shortblock together yet?

if your running the newer version of the turbotweak chip you can try to take a degree or two of timing out to see if it makes a difference.

Did the MAF help with the miss at idle? what are your kr counts goin into 2nd? and do you only see it at the shift?

This sounds exactly like the problem that I am having (low boost knock) but I also have a pretty shitty idle. this is before and after a new engine. Rob tried to help me figure this out. I was told by a buick guy (Russ Merritt) it was most likely the MAF. so I borrowed a spare from rob(after his computer, coilpack and module ) and wouldnt you know his reman maf was bad. the car ran wicked bad so I pretty much put it up for the year. I will convert to a ls1 MAF and translator in the spring and also try to put a set of roller rockers on. I am now waiting for the snow so I can pull out the sledz.

A brand new 3.5" ls1 MAF is only 80 at full throttle. not to bad,I think I will go this route in the spring.

no I didnt watch it very closely. lots of fancy paint work though. I think it was a converted hot air car.

General Buick Tech / Bleeder valve question

« on: August 16 2006, 07:21:16 PM »

Ok, well the new engine is starting to gain miles, about 4-500 now .time to put some boost to it. it's set at 14psi now. and I went to open the bleed valve to raise boost but It didnt climb, I went almost 1/2 turn and on the way home from work noticed only 14 psi. how much does this need to be turned??
