Boost does tend to bring out those little flaws in a motor lol. So I could definitely slide more timing into it then if you got those numbers from a 304. I should be seeing simalar numbers with this setup given it's a 355. More playing is required I thinks.

That would be handy if you could or do that mate. Would be good to see just how far it can be pushed before I hit a brick wall and legs start flying around the dyno cell lol

Can you tell me what the physical dimensions of that 92?mm TB is, like the flange size and how much wider with the part where the IAC attaches is from center?

I know these are the starr manifold TBs and was interested in them to use on my future V6 project where I needed at least 80mm to get the flow required, but I hadn't seen any good pics on the net or physical sizes mentioned to work out if could get it to fit with a custom or modified elbow and clear the firewall and all, have the factory cruise bracket fit some how too.

Be nice if it worked out, and a lot easier than some custom billet thing.
I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.

I won't be back in the shop until Friday but if I remember I'll get a ruler out and take some pics for you vlad, the cable bracket that it comes with houses both the factory throttle and cruise cables so so long as it clears the firewall you should be able to retain it.

Do you see any knock if you go higher than 15 deg? Mine is MAF based and is still only a 304, but with the same blower, and different cams and compression though, but has no knock at 22 deg at 9 psi manifold pressure.
Is there too much advance in the stock ignition map?

Unfortunately we won’t get the manifold temps down any lower than what the jacket water or oil temps are running at.

Yeah I've accepted that that's the change temp. And no knock present

Just threw 18 degrees at it and picked up 35hp so play with a bit of fueling and give it a couple more degrees and see what happens.

Got a better result with more timing, pretty happy with the end figure
