TUNING.
a good tune can tweak everything and bump your numbers.
the only thing that I see you should change tho:
where is the second vacuum line going to? I would imagine you plan on it going to the AFR. right?
tho you might have to tap and plumb a line for it cus it looks as tho the stock MAP sensor is right in the middle of the intake manifold.
as for the mehanol progressive controller, you can just splice into the electrical lines to get your MAP readings instead of splitting the vacuum tubing. I say this cus splitting the vacuum tubing could give you false readings as you are pulling a vacuum from 2 lengths of line instead of just 1.
and again back to tuning. the LLT is tuned for 87 octane. run 93 and a 50/50 mix of water/meth and you are effectively running about 114 octane while it is spraying. which will allow you to tune and get some very nice numbers.
but like I said. overall. nicely thought out plan. and remember some of the stuff you will be able to do yourself based on your personal mechanical abilities. other things... we can walk you thru...lol |
Well, nobody has been able to tune this engine yet. And the second vacuum line would be running to a rising rate FPR - set to raise fuel pressure by 2 psi for every 1 psi the intake gains towards atmospheric.

I know you are tweeking it to your liking, but your ceiling will always be lower than a good V8. Just curious. And look I understand what you can get out of a small engine, my SKY Redline has the highest output per displacement of any stock car built in America. With a 0-60 in the low to mid 5's, I beat most Mustang GT's off the line.
I am planning to possibly do these mods (Still researching)
Once the warrantee is out:
I plan on a Head & Cam Swop:
"Comp Cams (www.compcams.com) now offers a pair of head/cam packages designed to boost the performance of the ever-popular GMPP ZZ4 crate engine. The Stage Four kit features Racing Head Service (RHS) 180cc as-cast heads with 2.02/1.60 valves, Comp 918 springs, 1.5-ratio Pro Magnum roller rockers, and a Comp camshaft with 283/303-degree duration and 0.513/0.498-inch lift. It produces an 83hp gain over the stock ZZ4. The Stage 5 kit uses an even hotter cam with 291/311-degree duration and 0.522/0.509-inch lift; it produces a 92hp gain over stock."
Then a Pro Charger:
"Want LS7-beating performance from your '08 C6 Vette? ProCharger's (www.procharger.com) new LS3 supercharger may be just for you. It features an intercooled centrifugal design that produces a 40 to 45 percent power gain at only 6 psi and comes with all the components needed for a quick and complete installation."
With a proper Tune I should be pushing over 600HP........still doing research on the drivetrain, so far it appears that the Tranny can handle 700lbs of torque. I am sure by the time I am ready there will be someone on here with real world experience. |
Because I don't care about the ceiling, I only want to reach my goal of about 400-425 horses. And, if you read through the whole plan, you'd see that I can do that with an LS for about 4000 dollars cheaper than buying an SS.
