Re: 95 LTI Camaro
I built one in 2006 and had zero experience or knowledge about tuning an EFI engine. Never even ever saw an LT-1 engine ! I had an Accel Gen VII ECU and ran it in speed density, bank to bank and closed or open loop really had very little to do with performance. I bought a stand alone data logger but got nowhere with that.
I should have done a dyno session with an experienced EFI tuner. Would have saved my self a ton of time and aggravation. I was stubborn and wanted to learn it and used a hand held A/F data recorder (Inovate) to get it working reasonably ok.......I ran some 10.50's at nearly 125 in AF/IA at the time.....about 150-200lbs over weight for the class....
Atco air is very fast in spring and fall......I ran 10.50's there at one event and it was way below sea level.....-1000' DA in the morning !
A good friend still owns the car and owns a second one. He's run some 10.20's-10.30's at 128 in one car and my old car has run close to that at one time.......At Atco.....and maybe some other tracks in real good air
I drove my old car at one event and in B/SA at 3200+ lbs it was going 10.50's in good air. They fall off pretty bad as the air gets far worse.
They do like to be cold......and will pick up a lot.....
I think on the dyno some power was found running it in Sequential but really not much and not really anything on the track.
A pretty good one makes around 500hp on an engine dyno or so I've been told.....
They are great cars to race AFTER someone very experienced tunes it or schools you on how to work with the ECU you have....and you have a good working knowledge of how to make some changes.
