as for the MAF i was given a couple of MAFs from a tpi vette....they are different part numbers but would they still work? i kinda doubt it which is why they are in my tool box rather then in the car but figured i would ask anyways. and yes the stock tune is in the car now the car did 175/245 with stock tune and 170/239 with the chip i beleive

i have tried twice now to hook a scanner up to the car and both times it failed to communicate with the vehicle or what ever it was and i could not get any data out of it at all tried both at a friends shop and and work with the tech2 and didnt get anywhere idk if i need to use a different kind of scanner or what? so as for knock info all i can honestly say is it has never thrown a code for it...

looking back on it im not sure why i decided to do them? i guess it was because i had to do guide seals and had the rockers of anyways, and was hopping for a hp gain...which i did not get(3 hp and 5ftlb with headers and rr)

The MAF sensors you have from other cars (vette) will NOT work correctly in your car. Those MAF have certain parameters and are calibrated a little differently then the one that came in your car. If I were you, I would look around for a stock virgin MAF. As it stands right now, what is your biggest complaint about the engine? What would you like to see improve on it?

rally feel like he needs to ditch the stock MAF altogether. the factory ECM in that car is a JOKE. he should really get either an Accel DFI or a Holley Commander. and call it a day. even a Mega-Squirt will be a VAST improvement over the ECM.

But to be honest with his AFR Not THAT far off whack and the car not pining or knocking. i was driving it and watched all aspects of the run. the car just wont wake up to the bolt-ons. and after hes beat his head against the wall with all this crap. he will realize A stock cam SUCKS. fucking thing only has ~180 duration. and B stock ecm isnt worth anything other a Stock Car period!

if your serious about getting this car right ben. gimme a call and we will talk about EFI Connections setup for Gen 1 SBC's to run the same LS1 setup i have.

then take all your "speed" parts off. and get back to within the range of the stock tune. and then leave it alone!

Honestly if I were you I would put the stock chip back in and see if the car re-adjusts to where it was, and if it does just leave it alone. It made great power for a 305. If you really want to do a cam you are getting into big money to install it and get it tuned correctly (somehow), you'd probably be halfway or more towards paying for a swap and making far less power. And you also have to consider how much do you want to tear into a nice clean 3rd gen? Depends on what you really want out of the car, if you just want a fun car to drive it's pretty good as it sits. If you want to chase dyno numbers it's the wrong car.

that computer wont re learn or correct itself. it May while you drive but goes right back to 128/128 after you turn her off. and even then it can only correct so far before your off the map.

ditto to what he said





You are not going to be able to hang with these new cars unless you toss serious money into the car and if your car is as clean as others here have said it is then I suggest not messing with it and just enjoying it for what it is. I have over $12K into my engine and I still have a hard time hanging with some C6 vettes and my whole intention was to put a spanking on them. Its money I will never get back and had I just saved all my money and then make a decision with it, I would have just bought a used C5 vetter and had a lot better platform to work with.

Just make your car as clean as you can and enjoy it. It starts up and rides fine everyday and thats a lot more then you can ask for from the majority of the other 3rd gens on the road. These cars are past their prime for hopping up with bolt ons.

You want to go fast then buy a cheap LS1 Fbody and go to town. One day to you look back and thank yourself for not tearing up a perfectly good Iroc.
