Default Re: Moment Of Inertia - Reduce MOI & Gain Horsepower

Dom,

Let me establish my lack of sophistication as I'm still trying to get my mind around C.O. Probst's book on vette EEC.

I scan it with my MT2500 unit at idle in closed loop. I compare the displayed info to pg 6E- something that shows a data snap shot. No DTC's. I haven't reached the "data logging" point yet, but I did cop a laptop cheap. I figure when I feel I have learned & understood what is in Probst's book I'll go get a cable & software so I can actually see what my car is doing under different throttle & load situations. I'm a bit (sic) behind the learning curve on this stuff. I even thought of driving around with my scanner hooked up, but I felt that was a bit much...

I did the coil swap at the first pull so the only scan I had was a car with bad injectors. I did another scan after the injector r&r just to see if I was close to the book numbers. It was, and subsequent scans remain within the book numbers except for when I do find things like O2 sensors getting lazy. I do the r&r on the indicated parts and rescan to make sure I "got" the issue.

I think that it's a case of I'm getting used to a 375 hp car vs all the regular cars I drove for the 20 yrs between corvettes. Now I "think" I can actually feel the performance difference in my motor under "heat soak" vs "non heat soaked" conditions...... A butt dyno isn't that good!


Craig, I'm sorry for hi-jacking your thread.
