For the following advice: Tune your engine for top performance, then add the alchy.
Well first of all I've thrown the High performance boost solenoid away, that thing scares me. Leave the smc off and hit 25 psi without alchy and it's good-bye.
Secondly, I've been trying to tune without enough timing, turning up the boost, then adding alchy to kill the knock. All I was doing was flooding the thing with alchy. And using too low of timing in the process. Even though I was reaching huge psi numbers, I wasn't making any real power. Egt's were going nuts with all the unburnt fuel in the exhaust, even though the 0-2 numbers were ok.
Ok I figured Ed must have learned a thing or two, so today I have worked things to this:
[email protected] 43.5 Hose off
Boost at 15 psi, no knock
Fuel at 10 percent rich at WOT.
Timing 25*
I'm done with the timing, that's far enough.
Now I'm going to add fuel, then boost, fuel, then boost until I get knock.
Then I'll add some alchy...
