I have my idle set at 1000rpm which helped to smooth it out. I don't have cam gears yet. I'm sure with a standalone I can get the car to idle better or even just cam gears. It's still very lopey right now though. I can deal with it cause it sounds pretty mean.

As far as loosing power goes the car pulls very strong. Stronger than it did with the stock cams even down low. A 4000 rpm stab will just floor you with torque. I can even feel alot of torque upwards of 5000 rpm still. My toruqe band has moved up alot that I can tell from driving. I think it is a good thing because I am making more torque above 5000 rpm.

 

Hey Barry!! Your car made some sick numbers for the mods and on pump gas . I could definitely tell when i was riding in the car after the tune! I need to get cams soon

 

Thanks man.

 

u know guys i do relly wana get 280's but the only thing is the idle issue ..
u think it can ever idle like a stocker ?

 

no way in hell it will be like stock, but you could probably make it bearable with cam gears and engine management

 

i shoulda got the 280s like you did Barry... i would be close to where you are. j/k i'm happy with the numbers i made. i'm happy that you made such good numbers with those 280s... i wanna ride when you get that turbo upgrade. congrats man.

 

yeah the 280's will never idle like stock. if you haven't heard them they sound like an R1 at idle and shake the car a little. you can fatten up the afr's and that helps but not worth it. lost some power down low and might have picked some up up top. i did have to add a little fuel from 4500-7500. still working them out, but i still prefer my old 264/272 combo. oh yeah the exhaust emissions are pretty bad, i always smell like my exhaust after driving it. nick.

 

You all made some good numbers!! I need to get some new toys, im behind

 

How's the vacuum on the 280's?

 

i get about 14 inHG at 1k rpm idle.

 

That's not bad at all.

Any way you can post sound clips/video of the idle and revving?

 

i don't know how. but just think of a yamaha r1 at idle or any rocket bike. it's sounds axactly the same. if you fatten up the idle it actually gets decently quiet. i run mine between 14-15afr's. but 13-1 is alot less noticeable. hope this helps.

 

My vacuum is also right at 14in HG with the idle set at 1000rpm. It will drop to 10in HG with the A/C on at idle in which the car idles really rough. I haven't had any stalling issues with the A/C on at all.

 

Wow, great numbers man. Makes me look foward to doing my 280's and studs. How long did you have the 280's in before u did the reflash?? i want to put the 280's in but I might have to wait on the flash for a week or 2 until it opens up. its either that or I get an safc2 and tune myself

 

Do you need any gears for the 280s or anything? Or just run them like you'd run the 272s?
