Hi guys
Just installed the new 306 into the car the other day and fired it up. The car holds idle around 800-900 RPM but it backfires a little when you rev it up and hold it at a constant rpm of 2000 rpm. Now the engine is running at 10:1 Compression with a high lift .533 intake / .544 exhuast lift with 215 and 218 duration, with an advertised minor lumpy idle.
When I would rev the car up the throttle response seems ok, snappy, but after i let off the gas the RPM would come down, and the engine would almost stall out but the computer would try to adjust the idle and correct it for a few seconds and then the RPM would go back to 800-900 rpm and idle. Now I need to know what fuel pressure I should be useing, right now it is at about 39-40 PSI with 24lb injectors. Also my spark gap is at about .064" due to the fact that I am useing a Jacobs 5.0 Energy Pack ignitions system and they say run you gap at .010-.020 oversize from stock, is this ok or not? Also should I run factory 10 deg of timeing or should I retard it a little bit? Im running 93 Octane like my engine builder recomended also. Also before I forget my vacume guage which is hooked up to the vacume tree on the firewall reads 10-12 psi of vacume at idle which I assume is ok with a lumpy idle cam.
Any suggestions would be awsome as im planning on running the car on the road today after fine tunning everything.
