Re: Cranking Pressure?
Hi Art, cranking pressure CAN be affected by your lifters not pumping up. I would say that 300 psi is too much but then I was taught to try and keep cranking pressure "more than 160 and less than 210" and I could have been taught wrong. When I was running really high compression Bracket stuff (15 to1) I was only winding up with about 210 but I was using pretty big cams.
If anybody has any other opinions I'd like to hear from them.

It slowed the car up. Put the cam back and I got the power back. I had to change the timing offset. when i retarded the cam. Then I had a brain fart and forgot which program I had in there (there are 13 different fuel curves). It took me 5 runs to figure it out, wasting a test and tune day.

Re: Cranking Pressure?

The motor is making great power I still am close to getting in trouble with me shifting 1500 short. Even I am wondering "where the turbo is hiding"LOL I seem to have worried myself silly (something I'm real good at) for a couple of weeks for nothing. It's like the movie Dr Strangelove, or How I learned to stop worrying and love the Bomb.

Re: Cranking Pressure?
This car doesn't have a screw Jim. It has a button on the tach, serves the same purpose though

Re: Cranking Pressure?
I know it doesn't have a screw!!! We both heard that phrase for several years though didn't we? Glad you got a handle on that combo. It's been a long couple of years! Jim
