I finished the diff break in and swapped the gear oil. I didn't put the fancy diff cover on yet though. Also did an oil change and started ripping on it, car pulls like a freight train (weighs like one too). I'm on iteration 4 of the tune and am still fighting some false knock, but it could be caused by a leak at the header gasket.
Did a bunch of suspension work (new upper ball joints, LCA bushings on the front left, reseated both springs) and most of the clunking is gone. Something still feels odd by the front passenger wheel which could be a bushing or wheel bearing. Not sure, but I doubt I'll have time to fix it before OC.
I had the exhaust shop swap my Superturbo muffers for the Ultraflos. Really digging the sound now!

2.5 weeks until I leave for OCMD and I still have to:
-Install wideband
-Stretch and install the rest of the trim, respray it
-Pound out passenger fender/inner fender/rocker panel mess the PO caused
-Have junkyard rocker panel painted and install it
-Swap header gaskets
-Rewire water pump relay (again)
-Readjust toe and straighten steering wheel
-Finish tuning
It's getting there.

Made it down in time and the car ran great. Didn't get any good races in unfortunately (except demolishing a lopey fox body on the way home).Attachment 38533Attachment 38534Attachment 38535

WAY cool T56 conversion......but I am partial :-)
I went a little ape with plastidip and trim tape and blacked out a bunch of chrome. Definitely a huge improvement.Attachment 38539Attachment 38540

Swapped the MAF to the f-body unit and made an airbox to hold a big Spectre cone filter. Took the car out for some pics and datalogging but it started raining :(
The f-car MAF reads consistently higher and the car runs over a point richer up top according to my wideband. Seeing less of a MAP drop with the cone filter and more g/sec, but still not where I want to be before the car gets thrown on the dyno. It was around 300 g/sec but it could be reading lower because of the heat and humidity. My Camaro made about 1.15 hp per g/sec so I'd need 320-330 g/sec out of this thing for 370-380whp ignoring other factors. Gonna ditch the stock tb and home port a spare intake mani to see if that nets me anything.

you need the PCM tuned for the F body larger MAF. If not it will run rich. Put the B body back on or get it tuned for the larger MAF
No worries, I do all of my own tuning and I already redid the MAF calibration tables with the f-car data. I tune PE with the "%change to AFR vs. coolant temp" and "%change to AFR vs. RPM" so they need to be readjusted. I was sitting at 12.8-9 AFR with the b-car MAF, now I'm at 11.7-8 so I need to lean it out.Quote:
