Diary of a SC Tweecer Tuning

[SHOMurph]

Adam aka Axiantor and I began the process last night of tuning my SC SHO with my new Tweecer from SHOnut coupled with a PLX-300 wideband.

We began with some basic tuning like playing with the secondaries activation and WOT fuel curves.

I am completely ignorant on tuning but will post what I feel from the driver's point of view. I'll let Adam answer all tech questions/repond to comments.


After day one driveabilty improved dramtically. The car before had choppy accerlation when not into WOT. The choppy acceleration is now gone and is smooth running all the way through the gears. Taking off from a dead stop is improved and less jerky. I was stuck in traffic on the way home from Adam's house and other than the heavy clutch it was a breeze.

We went WOT for a few runs and the ol' butt dyno feels a little bit of improvement. Adam said there is much to be done with future tuning sessions.

We are going to switch to a 80mm Lightning MAF and I have a bigger fuel pressure regulator coming from SHOnut. Right now the Mark VIII 80 is getting pegged very quickly.

More to come.

Me to Jeremy! Mr. Axianator offered to help me out on my tuning when i get mt twEEcer r/t! So jeremy u going to be done with your sho by july of next year

 

[SHOfun 93]

Yeah probably....I have been selling some parts from my parts cars and pickin up parts here and there....here's the status.

I'm getting my cowl hood painted presently and will have all emblems removed from the 95 except the wclewis badges INCLUDING the trunk keyhole being filled


I have in the closet the EH runners, nitrous kit, 80mm MAF, Ted B LPM, 6 gauges and my 3 gauge pod.

My stage II cams are presently on the way from Canada.

My 69MM tb is coming next week from Nook

I am picking up a set of BBBs this week and plan on shipping entire intake to hypercoat for recoating it all INCLUDING throttle body next month when everything arrives.

The costly thing will be the cam install purchase of cam sprockets, and rod bearings to the tune of nearly $2k. That is with new gapless rings and valve stem seals.....( done by TexanTony)

I also have to get the Bulletproof tranny from the 93 into the 95 (about $500)

Whew...I think my wallet got a little hotter there!

Comin at ya B!



Oh yeah...and then the coilovers to be put on right before convention cuz my wife can't STAND the ride with them in, but you can chase me on the twisties!

Ok here is my list!

I have my 3.3L kit for Josh sitting in my closet. My EH intake and BBB's. And my tranny cooler. And UDP's. Andthe 95 has a full trunk full of parts that is going to the powder coat shop!

I fianlly got my darn donor motor all apart the other day. So it is now fianlly down to a bare block! Now i get to drop it off at the machine shop to get it bored out. And then drop my heads off to the head shop to get them worked on

And then i need to put my stage 2 cams on ebay. I want to get rid of them and get mikey's and Joshs new cams. And i still have to buy my TwEEcer R/t. And my zex kit!

I'm getting in on the Cowl hood group buy thing that shoplus 91 has set up. Where he will deilver us a cowl hood! And cincy is nocking off like 50 bucks off the price. lol And then right now the hole inside of my sho is torn apart wiring more gauges up and making room for some other stuff :evil_gri:



So here i come jeremy!

 

[SHOfun 93]

Glad to hear it B! I guess we are the only ones that care for the ATXs!
BTW, the cams that are on their way, are NIB and were purchased from Josh himself as the original owner, so I am holding onto mine...

 

[ShoGuy93]
