I talked to the automatic kings Sean they said it's 220 to restall it. It's 275 for a bitchin' ass brand new converter so fuck them. I say f the math come out and you can say my car runs XX in the 1/4 cuz that is all that matters anyway when it comes down to it. Jusy my .02, I will say dyno's are useful for tuning though so don't start crawling up my ass...insert joke here.

What time are you thinking of going down on Saturday to San Diego?

8:30 ish :/ can Adam do that??

Assuming they used a 6 speed for the solid axle F-Body, we can assume a 15% loss.

So 292.8/ 85 X 100 = 344.5 Sounds like 345hp at the engine to me.

Assuming the Corvette LS1 is the same as the F-Body LS1 we can calculate the difference of the IRS, assuming also that they used a 6 speed.

285.6 / 344.5 X 100 - 100 = 17.1% You were off by .1% Ben! WTF?!


By the way, I doubt that the C3 trans/ IRS will be as efficient as a C5 transaxle.

Yeah, although I think we're going to go to Cars and Coffee before hand and then head down. Alexis and Rachel are going to drive down with us and while we work they may go into San Diego. That's the unofficial plan anyway. Have you talked to Neal yet?

Yeah, I've been talking to him everyday about things...He's been such a help with everything I just am dying to get this thing back together and running. Should be a busy ass weekend...

Finally got around to buying a multimeter (which sucks, I'm going to return it) so I opened the hood to find the cause of the rough acceleration that I've had since the DC tour.

I was guessing that it was going to be a stuck lifter, but I decided to check the basics before I even pulled the valve covers off. I checked the impedance of all of the plug wires and this is what I got:

Cylinder #8 - 91.6 ohms
Cylinder #6 - 100.4 ohms
Cylinder #4 - 121.4 ohms
Cylinder #2 - OPEN!
Cylinder #7 - 152.2 ohms
Cylinder #5 - 127.5 ohms
Cylinder #3 - OPEN!
Cylinder #1 - 152.2 ohms

So I guess during the dyno run I had two open plug wires! I don't think that it would make a difference in hp, because at those rpms I'm sure the spark would just arc over the dead spot in the wire, without a problem.

I cleaned up and put some new terminals on these wires the day before the DC tour, unfortuantely I didn't have a multimeter at the time to check the impedance before I installed them. I just fixed them tonight, they both measure around 100 ohms now, I'll install them tomorrow. Hopefully that was the problem.
