Hi there, I am having problems getting at least near-carbureted driveability
on a Howell setup on my truck. I believe the system is totally sound, but
there seem to be big discontinuities in the fuel curves of the chips, am also
having a problem with being way too rich at times.
In a 93 chevy pickup with a 4L60E trans, and 3.42 gear
I am using a 1994 ECM - because they said I had to - I don't know why.
I built a 383 with 9.6:1 cr, 218/226 .454/.480 cam 112LSA.
Edelbrock 6085 Al heads, JBA headers, no cat, 3" gibson exhaust,
Holley 700cfm four barrel TBI on holley dual plane street dominator manifold
w/egr
Is there anyone better at burning chips for such modified applications than
Howell? I have gone thru 4 iterations and am still displeased. I have a
autoxray scantool and can give results of chip changes. If I had a way of
checking, changing, and burning chips myself I would do it, but I bought a
package deal, and it's not quite what I expected.
I can also post scantool results at various rpm and problem areas if anyone
is interested. Someone please help. I have enough motor here to make 400+
HP, but I don't think i'm anywhere close, and I'm getting only 15mpg.
Thanks
