Well there are different downpipes for different turbo"s so if they arn't matched then that would create problems.

When in open loop I always tune for the most boost/timing with the supplementary injection system turned off, and then start adding it in along with more timing and boost.

If tuning in closed loop you can set your target AFR (or AFR curve - ie. richer at MBT, leaner at the top end), then massage the boost and timing curves to suit, while cranking up the alky or whatever.

In my Buick it was propane on around 18psi and alky in at 25psi, and ran it out to 30psi.




 I can see a FEW people[engineers] cringing at this.

Are the vacuum hoses plumbed properly? Restricter in place? Tuner style with stock wastegate rod? What are you measuring boost with?  Just throwing out ideas.

I think the gen- alt change was 63 and 64.


Signal lights were required on any vehicle manufactured on or after  Jan 1 1958.

For me those were truly the good old days. I got married in 1971 and at the time had a 70 W30 2dr hardtop standard steering and brakes. paid 2995 for it and won the pure stock title for the 1971 year at the local track.


I find that the expendable income was way higher back then.  the steel co [Stelco] starting wage was $2,50 hr.


YES I am still married to the same woman.


OH it ran 13.4 at 104 with g60-15 bias ply  kelly chargers factory stock.
