Tweaked the Hybrid...

Rikenbomb · 09-11-2007, 11:50 PM

After speaking with BuckeyeSVT about a few things he wanted to try out and finally using the Pro-Flow MAF I had laying around I decided to get the car retuned:

New mods include:
'99 3L LIM
'99 3L IMRC
Pro-Flow MAF

Overall #s are 228 hp and 203 ft-lbs of torque. The numbers don't mean a whole lot but the gains were more visible by the plots below:

Original dyno tune in blue, new tune in red.

Here is the dyno numbers in SAE measurement.

In here new tune in blue, previous tune in red

Nice little torque increase there on the low end. I like.

are you using a alluminum or plastic 3L upper?

It is when you see that huge dip in torque at the imrc point, that I just can't help but think there must be a better way...

if you bought a tune you can adjust that transistion better where it is smoother still getting the performance you have or more. Joey

No actually you cannot. It's been tuned already.

It's an SVT EH upper and a '99 3L LIM (split port. larger than the SVT LIM).

gotcha i forgot the 99 3l were close to the same size

So is there no way of smoothing that a/f ratio a little more?? seems to get so rich at that changeover point. Mind you a/f just above that 13 looks mighty good indeed.
