Default Re: Fuel Injected motor...miss from 1-3K

I was constantly trying to tune my LT-1 myself and really needed to get it tuned on a dyno......I was using an Innovate LM-1 to get as gar as I did....on my own....

One raceday I was making Fuel Map changes across the board.....Just put in a percentage change richer......I thought it was a relatively small change.....

Well on the next run....It idled fine....drove up to the lanes fine....went to do a burnout and when I stepped on the gas.....nothing....motor basically did not even have enough power to spin the tires in the water at part throttle..... I staged it anyway and made the run and was not really off by much from an earlier run....

Took the enrichment back out and it was fine after that.....

It was just too rich to begin with and the added fuel really killed it.......
