Sorry, i don't know enough to answer that question, but i'll ask on Monday.

So, I spoke with the builders and they said it wasn't an issue (said something that resembled what XanthosV6 said). This will kit will only be running 5 PSI anyway.

v6 mods..yes!..will be in the market soon, hopefully..

TJ91 · 06-29-2009, 04:30 PM

If I run boost (which is still the one big question in my mind - to boost or not to boost) I'd only be running about 5 psi.

Once you guys figure out the flow rates of the direct injection bits, let me know

I've got the PSI output ranges for the LLT, but can't find the manufacturer rating of total flow.

suavecito1177 · 06-30-2009, 04:50 PM

I would love to know what kind of gains we would see from a 5 psi setup and then also possibly a 9-10 psi setup after a piston swap and maybe a more aggressive cam. What do you guys think? I think the antz in my pantz are going crazy right now, because there is still not enough info. or aftermarket parts for the 6 yet and I pick mine up tonight and would love to have it boosted before fall.

Congrats on picking up that beast tonight!

Enjoy

Well, the first major hurdle is tuning. the V6 has a bosch computer in it instead of the delphi computers and none of the aftermarket tuner companies are planning on even looking at it for the next 6-8 months.

We have been working with the computer manufacturer and expect to be able to tune the car in the next week or two. after that we'll see what we can do.

disclaimer: this is what I overheard in a meeting, and i might be wrong.

I'm sure a lot of people will be ecstatic if you figure out how to tune this ECM within the next couple weeks.

I'm thinking it may fall down to a piggy back setup, and honestly I'm ok with that.

Nothing wrong w/ piggybacks... the Motec sourced ECU is a beast, and given the per-cylinder knock monitoring, should be able to handle boost quite well. A small alky/meth injection system would be cheap insurance.

suavecito1177 · 07-01-2009, 11:27 PM

Well, I'm a lil ticked I guess delivery is behind 5-12 days. I still have no camaro. BooHoo

Anybody got any inof on how to hook up my laptop to my Camaro to do some diagnostics and a good program for that?

I would also like to maybe get into doing some tuning if possible. 3yrs computer science, 12 yrs building and programming and have been a mechanic for the last 15yrs.

if it's weak that'd be a good place to start. maybe try a power servo to make the shifts harder. little things like that.
