Hvii 3
So I finally got to install the HVII 3 after a bunch of required and preventative maintenance. After redoing my trans, rear main seal, valve covers, and oil pan gaskets, I finally got to do some more maintenance. Hahaha fun!
I replaced my old NGK TR55ix with OE AC delco 41-101's, (which had NGK laser iridium stock number on the bottom, so don't waste money on the NGK's lasers)
Replaced my old 180 t-stat
New: Wix fuel.
New: Good Year Gatorback serpentine belt
HV3 and new gasket of course
Injector o-rings etc
Before the tune up I was getting 5.9 degrees of knock (WOT on top of 3rd or 4rd I think).
After the tune up the most I was getting were blips of 2.3 with continuous WOT. Not bad I think, and it was 95 degrees out.
Plug wires were not a factor as I had PRJ's on with both runs.
BTW, the heat range on the TR55ix is 5 and 4 on the AC delco 41-101’s.
I’m now looking for a competent place to dyno here in LA; looking into SP Engineering SP Engineering, pricey though. I’ll then see what I can do for a proper tune. (Off da shelf tune right now)…
Pics of HV install.
And why are my pics always soo big on here but not other forums...??? LOL

Do you feel any difference on the highway?

LOL...Gotcha...
I feel a small/but good difference but haven't really had a chance to open her up yet...And I have a badd butt dyno.haha..I did notice that I don't have to press the gas pedal as much to pass, so that's a plus.
Mostly, seems to tie my power band together nicely. Doesn't feel as asthmatic, but I should know more when I run certain cars on the top end.
I should be getting a vid up this weekend.

I believe in the other thread about this, I said it will tie your powerband together, so I'm glad
