Ian,
Do you use 2.0 degrees of pitch per G for acceleration and 3.0 degrees pitch per G for roll figures?
I guess I should first ask if the G-Tech lets you adjust those.
Right now, I am going with 3350 lbs weight
2.0 degrees pitch per G (Accel and Decel)
3.0 degrees pitch per G (roll)
12" Roll Out
Min speed for HP Calc = 30 MPH
Max speed for HP Calc = 50 MPH
I hope to have some pics and some testing done today. I know of a few deserted areas that have minimum traffic, and the roads here are dry for the first time in a few days....
I know it probably won't give dead accurate tests figures, but it will provide relative info to tell me if I am taking the right steps when experimenting.
I put the Air Raid intake on last week; replacing the K&N Drop In Filter.
I may end up trying it with the Air Raid, then Backwards to the K&N Drop-in and back from there to the stock paper element to see if I can get any different readings on that.
I am also thinking about getting a new set of the stock spark plugs, gapping them to .042 and then seeing if that makes a diff.
If I find a difference on the new plugs and lower gapping, I will try to take a read on the old ones to determine if it was from detonation or hotter spark. I wish I could get a look at the firing line on a scope while it is breaking down. I have one of the older handheld (pen scopes) that is 12 operated for in-circuit testing, and I may try to run a shielded wire from the probe and ground to a loop pickup to the engine compartment to see if there is any stray voltage bouncing around. Not very scientific, but it may tell some tales.
If it looks like there has been higher than normal spark voltages delivered to offset misfire, I will consider replacing the plug wires after I have the misfire problem cured. Sustained misfire of the plugs can place a strainon the wires, with the high voltage available form the modern ignition systems.
