Today I picked her up, new Whipple installed, new boost/oil-pressure gauges installed, running on a putt-putt tune until I can get it to the tuner tomorrow or Tuesday.

Got it home and the first thing I did was pop open the girlfriend's Shelby's hood for a side-by-side supercharged-Mustang pic :

You have the 2.3 tuner kit?

 

[Gabe]

Yes. With ID1000 injectors. Custom tune coming up.

When are y'all racing?! Lol!

 

[GallopingFord]

Nice job Gabe.

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

MONEY SHOT!!

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Looks good.

 

[Gabe]

Lol, thanks guys ...

Having a major problem with the throttle though ... it has a dead spot at the top of the pedal travel, then it gives too much throttle.

Part-throttle is also crap, hiccuping/bucking like crazy sometimes.

The kit came with a new twin 60mm GT500 throttle body, the tuner says on his laptop he can't see the throttle position sensor values change during that dead spot.
Short fuel trims are dead-on according to him.

Not sure if these cars have a tip-in adjustment, also not sure if the tuner looked at that.

The throttle body has a hex screw on top-right, this screw has some paint marks on it and on the throttle body, these marks don't line up.

Anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks ... he's got the timing dialed back, I left with 501rwhp ... I want more! ! Lol

But right now I want the throttle to be smooth again. This bucking crap is driving me nuts.

 

[Captainstr8edge]

yeah, get everything smoothed out before you go for bigger numbers. 501 isn't too shabby at all!

Do you have a vacuum leak anywhere? Have you checked?

The hoses/plumbing has been checked and rechecked, it's good.

The install is good.

I either have a bad part somewhere or a bad tune

 

[UltraKla$$ic]
