Mellon Tuning review of Buschur built 2.0, stage 3 head and BF272 cams

[Mellon Tuning]

will do, my time is going to be severely limited this weekend though. Tuning a customer remotely tonight while he's sitting on a dyno and I have a customer coming to be road tuned Saturday then another one Sunday plus my other remote customers I work with daily. I'll try my best to find some time between things to continue the experiment.

at lunch I extended my RPM column to see if I can get better control over the AFR/Timing at 8500-9000 just in case I need it

[psphinx81]

as per your request

if u get a chance could u get some pics of your MAF? i would really like to see how yours looks before i tackle that

[red03evo]

nice stuff mellon!

I'll get a pic of the mas soon, busy busy tuning this morning and I have a customer nearly here so I don't have much time.

I changed the oil, removed and inspected the NGK 8's which are sort of a gray/tan so I put in the NGK 9's and Buschur coil on plug. The idle is slightly smoother, it takes a few extra turns to start the engine but nothing extreme like the typical AEM EMS car vs stock ecu car. I did a few pulls to make sure everything was alright and decided to shoot for that 600awhp goal I've set for myself.

I upped the boost from 67 on the greddy profec B spec II to 71 and that got me 32.4psi peak and I added a touch of fuel here and there and pulled 1* of timing for some 7500rpm minor knock (4 count) and now it's silky smooth with zero knock and good AFR.

I ran the pull through DLL and it's showing 597awhp and 460tq the best yet. I also did a g-tech run rolling out in first and going wot:

60' 2.26 camped on the rev limiter through 1st gear boiling off the street tires
1/8 7.91 @ 99.6
1/4 11.80 @ 129.35

I ran out of tuning time (never want to make a customer wait on me) so I might go back out tonight in the cooler air and ease the boost up a little more to get a sound 600awhp in DLL that would be a solid 100awhp over the previous setup!

p.s. keep in mind this is still on the .63 hotside not sure when I'll get around to putting the .82 on, I need some time to just enjoy the car right now. (read, educating the local camaro/mustang fools.)

[psphinx81]

wow

u got 600 in the bag for sure!

thats awesome!

Very nice write up man ... regarding to the 0.82 it will ad about 400-500 rpm of boost threshold and 30+ whp of peak power... you are going to notice the diff from 6000 rpm aprox.
Congrats again.
Keep up the good tuning.

597awhp and 460tq HOLY COW BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! I don't even know what to say!!!!!! with zero knock ...... WOW!!!!!

[Jspec EVO VIII]

So mellon, which rpm are you shifting at?

[Turbo Kyle]

Jesus man....congrats bro! When I get my next Evo (mine got killed) Im going to have to have you hook it up

[Mellon Tuning]

thanks for the compliments everyone, just wrapped up the tune with my customer that drove in today... evogreen on 93 octane at 389awhp and 367tq, he came here at 350awhp and 300tq so that's a pretty nice bump and now I'm tired, the lack of sleep this week is catching up to me whew...

8000-8500 for now, higher if I start running into the limiter in 4th during a 1/4 mile run, I think I'm right on it.

[red03evo]

nice difference!!!!!

[Mellon Tuning]

33.4psi peak 610awhp/465tq
