Re: VN V8 308 with Solid 252/260 cam 106 LSA
LMAO last guys that tried dyno tuning it & said they can't get any better without aftermarket ecu actually killed the trans after they finished started flaring everywhere & now in getting rebuilt! They said it was due to a kinked & leaking hose/pipe near cooler & couldn't get a drum to it while on the dyno or some B/s!

There the stock blue top injectors (checked part numbers stamped on 8 injectors) & part numbers match up.
it's stock fuel pump & injector rail (so same regulator).
Don't take offence, PLEASE it just not a good starting point for this car!

Nah none taken mate. 2 different engines. Im just keen to see this happen.
I have little interest in stock motors really. I see that bloke on ebay pumping out "power chips" by the 100.
He can have it. There's a few mate's of mine with some pretty hot motors and I love making them driveable.
I once paid $1200 to have my engine proffesionally (the same one ive tuned myself and you have the file)
Drove like crap. Couldn't drive it on a hot day. Could not sit at a steady speed. Didn't idle. Killed plugs. Poured fuel out the exhaust. Didnt start without foot to the floor. Needed 2 feet to drive.
I then paid $300 for a mail order of a big name delco man from the day who has now shut down. Was (or is) a member on here. Looking at it now im smarter. Was a hsv 185 tune. Thing didnt even run at all.
I then brought kalmaker and just didnt know how to use it. Didn't even no what VE was or meant.
And no support around like there is on here.
So when I see or hear of someone with a hot motor that "cant be tuned" or getting ripped off.
I get a bit keen to help. Because the way my car ended up is amazing. Fair enough I put over 100 hours in it a lot of it was just learning. But learning on something like that is good. It's not very forgiving.
I want to see tbis bloke get this thing running good with a Delco in it. Im sure you can.
Keep us updated with logs etc and how it performs. I didn't tune mine for power. Tuned it for drive ability.

Thanks Dylan,
Yeah I KNOW it can de tuned on factory Delco it's just a matter of time which I hoped it would be straightforward but not quite, but give me a bit & will be fine!
Will keep all updated!

I had a fair bit of throttle opening. Screw wound right in which might help with cranking.
Warm idle was pretty much zero steps.

Spot on, I've been tuning a 355 with a much smaller cam and it ran out of fuel pump.VX L67 Getrag wrote:There the stock blue top injectors (checked part numbers stamped on 8 injectors) & part numbers match up.

He's going to need new injectors and high flow pump before it goes on the rollers or you're just going to be chasing your tail.
