Intake won't do shit but make you poorer.

Hahaha ok. Should I drop the boost a little up top to maybe 3 up top for the summah and keep em higher in the wintah?

 

[Diggs24]

Sure, flatline it at 4 and when it gets back into the 70s raise it to 5.

But making boost lower down low should perhaps alleviate the issues I was having with the knock and pops and bangs and puffs of black smoke from the exhaust? Should I still replace my plugs since I did a CRC valve clean?

 

[Diggs24]

Can't hurt.

Got it! Wanna help me put an intercooler on? Me love you long time!

No, once was enough.

I think you were supposed to say "I Do".

Haha, one more question, should I be adding a couple of gallons of E85?

 

[Diggs24]

Well, duh. Kidding. Wait for it to cool off a bit first.

Isn’t E85 supposed to cool things off…?

 

[Diggs24]

Not the MAP sensor.

 

[Panpolanski]

Not the MAP sensor.

Can I pour some cold water on the MAP sensor…? Dry ice???

 

[CiDirkona]

Does the Boost Safety setting kick in even if I'm on Map 0?

(I'm stacked on top of APR Stage 1 for diagnostics/gauges and potentially methanol control eventually, but not adding additional boost/fueling.)

Well… booked a dyno run for Friday…? Why, I’m not sure. I guess to get a baseline before weighing my flash-tune options. Would love to be able to make any last tweaks, if need be, this week so not to waste my monies. Did a quick run last night from a light. Didn’t bog down at high rpm’s on this one, but has recently. This is about 3.5 gallons of E30 + E91
