    my 393 started breathing today!

    yes i cleaned up my plugs really good and reinstalled. when you stated that could be why i was getting weird o2 readings you are refering to while it was trying to burn all of the oil correct? dependant upon how much oil it is trying to burn at that perticular time could cause it to read that it...

    WHAT INJECTORS DO I NEED

    please elaboriate im all ears to any suggestions... went and talked with gary brandt who is a local racer in my area and he gave me 3 suggestions after listening to my car run. first being that because i lowered my fuel pressure and it ran better would mean i have too much injector (not just...

    WHAT INJECTORS DO I NEED

    ive got a 393 stroker, f cam, windsor jr world products heads, edelbrock performer intake, and everyone told me i needed 42's so i went 42's. i cant get it to idle worth a crap, cant get it to not stumble throughout the rpm range, i lowered my fuel pressure to 37psi, have checked everything...

    my 393 started breathing today!

    so after chasing a few items on the surge idle checklist i finally said screw it and took the car to brandt racing to see what his thoughts were on it. he said without a doubt my throttle body is too small (70mm) for running on such a large inch motor. he suggested a 75mm accufab so today i...

    my 393 started breathing today!

    ya i cant even begin to tell you how stupid i felt after realizing what it was. i just gotta get the idle and stumbling figured out and she will be ready to rock. im really hoping that the more i start it and take it around the block the more the adaptive learning will iron out the stumbling...

    my 393 started breathing today!

    it was 41 with the vacumn hooked up and around 45 with the vacumn disconnected. i lowered it to 39 and without a doubt has been the single largest improvement in how it stumbles. it did absoultely nothing for the idle quality but it must have cut how bad it stumbled in half. with it not...

    my 393 started breathing today!

    just changed the tps, seems to be more responsive. i also went to r&e and the only sample tube they had in stock was for 30's i brought both my 42 and 24 sample tube with me so by comparsion of the 30 to the 24 the bigger the injector the smaller the diameter of the sample tube which means my...

    my 393 started breathing today!

    so u didnt get a tune then right? what kind of maf are you running? i just read a thread on a site that was explaining how sample tubes can lower an engines VE because the eec doesnt know the true rate of air being consumed by the engine, it also stated that any after market maf works the...

    my 393 started breathing today!

    small update, i checked my oil and it wasnt even registering on the dipstick. so i am to assume that the bluish smoke isnt from it running too rich but its from burning oil what kind of timeframe should i expect the rings to be fully seated so it stops burning oil? took this video alittle...
