Is the last chart still the GT500? Looks like a supra chart, you can tell its a big turbo(s).

Good luck with your kit. Unfortunately we seem to be having a failure to communicate.

I respect anybody with abilities such as yours because I understand what it takes.

I was just trying to look out for what I know is right.

Again, hope you the best. Your headers look good, I would prefer them to look a bit more symmetrical. But I understand the space constraints with steering and front suspension on that car.

Yeah, it's the 500. It looks pretty peaky. No convertor to muliple torque doesn't help. It will certainly spool faster if I ask nicely. It's rich, and easy on timing. I plan on two stepping it at th eline to make boost. It makes 15 psi right now at 4500 pretty easily.But the tires stood no chance as it was. I did a little work to the rear suspension to help with that. I'm happy so far, but always looking for more. This kit is going to have some experimentation on it. Something I've never seen done. One of those idea you get while sitting down for a while, if you know what I mean. It's very interesting and believe it or not, it's actually rocket science. Honest to god. Hopefully it works. Really really excited to test it. Trying to kick the image of cavemen and tubing. :clap:

Can't wait to see it dialed in.

CPRsm, are you going to be able to make it to the NMRA Opener at Bradenton?

Those aren't MAF counts.

Also, no alpha-N here.
Yeah, saw the live link on these cars last night. Why did Ford change it freq based ?


When is it Kelly ? My parents live in Tarpon Springs. Trying to get me to go to Key West for fantasy fest right now and that ain't happening. Too much to do right now. If it's have dialed in and I don't look like a fool trying to figure it out I'd like to.

The opener in Bradenton is generally during the first of March.

It is a good event. If they follow up with the Shop VS Shop deal, you should consider attending.

Tarpon is right down the street from my place. (Trinity)

I know where that's at. I used to live in Green Brook Estates over by the old 54. The wife just had her gall bladder taken out while on vacation at Hellen Ellis lol. March may be doable. Should have it fairly shorted by then. Hopefully haven't blown the engine by then lol

Your 08 GT500 is voltage still and that open loop threshold is not MAF based. (read the description ;-) )

One of the advantages of frequency based signaling is that it won't be affected by voltage variance.

Ahhh, that's actually a really damn good reason lol.

I check the open loop. I had to manually zero them out to force open to tune, but I didn't read the description. I really need to learn the multipliers. though so I keep my MTF the same and not have to change anything thing when I add ice.

Shit just got real boys and girls. Custom made so a touch pricy for a base model turbo. But the 67 and 76 just aren't a good fit on this engine. Damn pic's look like they were taken with a calculator. I must have messed up a setting again lol.

That is a super secret squirrel for now.:clap: Don't want to help anyone figure what's up out before I'm done. It is smaller than the 76 though......but costs the same :helpme:
