LT1 progress, Putting the engine back together... Options

[bondo]

I took all the accessories off my LT1 in order to re-do the belt system and turn the intake around. Now I'm putting it back together. I tried to anodize the intake manifold, but it was just too big and my setup can't anodize it well enough to take dye. It kept coming out purple, er, I mean aubergine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I gave up and just painted it black.

I'll start with the before pic:

thats about the same that the suby wants, but the suby at 60 is looking for a pulse about every .016 seconds yours is looking for one every .015. the timer i built is giving it 20 pulses a second it thinks it going about 20 mph even when its siting still, but it has not been up set with it yet. i think the way these obd2 computers work, they have a timer saying i want a pulse at least 45 seconds when you hit full throttle. or at least thats what i heard but mine was shutting down every 2 mins with out the vss. so what i think happens is that as long as the computer sees a pulse before the timer runs out it realy does not care. but i could idle forever, so it must be keyed at 2 to 3 k rpms to start the timer, of coarse i was hitting 6500 rpms a few times (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) but i still have not found the rev limiter (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)
