I've been talking to McMark for some time about the MS/ignition upgrade. I decided to to take the plunge a few weeks ago and asked Mark to put it on his schedule.
Jeff (JSConst) had bought a kit from Mark and decided not to use it, so I bought it from him. All of the pieces are together and Mark has time starting on Sunday. Unfortunately, my time is limited so I may not participate much. I will add updates as I learn of them, or Mark may do that if he has the time. |

Well, the MAF solution that we were hoping for didn't work as planned. The engine responds much better at low rpm, but still bucks (buck downgraded to lurch since it's not as severe). Acceleration from stop is really good. Mark is looking at an AAR that may help. Thanks to Mike, kg6dxn, for helping me tune after Mark got the MAF in. Although sensitivity to cam overlap is still high on the list of culprits, Mike and Mark both think that the lightened flywheel may be contributing to the problem. The flywheel is not the only lightened component: I used AA H-rods, they are only 2/3s the weight of stock - a pretty savings. The pistons are also lighter than the 94s that I took out. |
