I agree with heat soak comments… I had noticed when pushing it on the twistys - low mid to mid high rpm while canyon carving - can make the little blower a little toasty. Torque was always good but running it out on a straightaway afterwards felt a little flat compared to a highway pull.
The dyno - it was run in 5th and 6th to see if there was a difference. The owner has a 1100hp z06 with a Maggy so he was basing it off how other z06’s were but, tried another run in another gear to be sure. The stock dyno was very wavy at the top end so we could tell the computer was having issues with the Chevron 91 octane with Techron blend.
That damn check valve. You can see there’s no indication on that hose that something is bad! And why would you even question it?! Esp with 16k miles! JRG put in a hose I think from a Camaro SS that he said had no check valve in it. In theory, it was supposed to keep the high side from ever starting up dry. I can tell you with the old hose it was experiencing more dry starts than with nothing. She fires up even faster now.
Yep, that Toohighpsi setup is looking like the economical way to get some power out and insurance for running big power instead of forcing it to run on crap gas. Mike mentioned they dial back the DI further with the kit at high rpm to keep DI pulse width under 6 and add more port pulse width to fill the void. It allows him to run full e85 and 26 degrees of timing across the range. If that means I can keep stock cam, stock headers and stock cats and approach 800hp…. I’m in!

From an SS you say?... Hmm... I'll have to check that out! Thanks!

thank you for sharing!!
I thought the limit would be mid 600s, maybe a bit more on the stock exhast manifolds, so this is pretty exciting. just need to wait on that carb EO.

Magnuson's told me testing is complete and passed just fine. They're waiting on CARB to finish "moving" and it's just a matter of them completing the process. It's just a little more waiting.
