Well, did 6 more pulls today with my newly added lightning 2.93 upper pulley and a slightly more agressive tune installed.(other mods already installed)
Now making 382rwhp and 482rwtq numbers with the torque curves pulling hard from 2900rpm to about 4900rpm. Thats about 460 flywheel HP and 580 flywheel torque numbers, that's feaken amazing for a 331 cu. in. motor!!
Joel did a fine job tuning the truck and picked up some extra power while flattening and maintaining 11.7-11.8 A/F ratio thru out the complete band. I told him to add some more timing in and we are getting 22 degrees now but I haven't experienced any detonation while running Sunoco 94 octane. He has given me 2 more degrees accross the board if i want to add it in with the XCal 2 but he said that was my decision to make and told me to watch out for detonation especially if it starts to get warm out.
I think this is about all I can squeeze out of this factory blower setup and maybe a stage 3 or 4 port job might pick it up to the 400/500 level but I will likely look into a whipple charger setup and bullit proof lower end before that happens. Perhaps I will do the blower port job anyways and add the Riechard racing blower spacer in since I already have that stuff.
I am totally happy with the current results and I tip my hat to Joel and the boys at WP Racing in Windsor for the fine tuning they have done on my cruiser. Transmisson is tweaked out just the way I like it now and that makes this truck the nicest vehicle I have ever driven.
So this is my latest story to tell and I hope you all have the same bonus experience I have had with these superb cruisers.
Cheers to all
