Kit installed, need some help

pnkrckr · 05-23-2005

I have my alcohol kit installed since a few days ago, having some trouble getting rid of my kr with the 3.4 pulley on. still saw almost 5* max. All of 1st gear was clean as a whistle and running strong. Most kr was on shifts. I will be turning up the psi on the pump a few turns to see how that goes. My car leans out a lot after 1st gear, mid 800s or so, it varies. just wondering what everyone thinks...

Also have a powrtuner at my disposal, still a newbie using it for tuning tho. I have ac-delco 41-932 platinum plugs, is this ok? should i change these? they are fairly new. I read somewhere that i shouldn't use these plugs in combo with alcohol

mods: 3.4, intake, exhaust, downpipe, PEMs, 1.9rockers, DHP

TIA

Get some autolight 104's, and tune your 02's to around 920 in the 8K to 10k range. Your running to lean.

Way too lean, that is pistion popping range. Also on the plugs start off at a .035 and work on getting a bigger gap before you exp. stutter.

I guess I was always under the impression that alcohol tends to want to make your car run richer.. ?

pnkrckr · 05-23-2005

That's the same impression I was under...maybe something is wrong with my setup? I'll get some new plugs soon and give that a shot. 104's the best for my mods?

It does make you run richer, so imagine how lean it is without it

Bial and Chris,

So when I set up my alcohol, you both recommend Autolite 104s with a .035 gap?

Thanks,

Steve Stockman

Yes on the autolites. I carry the autolight race plugs on the webstore, That's what I run in my car.

pnkrckr · 05-23-2005

Would the 104's with a .035 gap be best? Would it still be best even if I dropped to a 3.25 or 3.0 pulley once I get everything tuned in and get rid of kr?
