spark dwell...can somebody give heavy details

[S2H]

heres an update for you guys...

found out thru EC that GM says the coil packs are good up to about 8ms for roughly 200,000

so you can takle the spark dwell and basically use the vertical interpolate between bounds from where it has less than 8ms and below..
see my pics to get the idea

Hmmmmmmmmm...so am I being a wuss by keeping it below 6 ms?

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

i tell ya what, i will load those changes into my tune on the dyno (may do it a week from today) and report back any numbers

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

now are these changes also keeping in mind the multiplier?

[chrisj6]

I changed mine also to see a bit better throttle response, i raised all the values under 5.5 to that value. I may go back down to 5, can't really decide right now.

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

why go down?

[MeentSS02]

I forget which multipliers are there, but the ECT based multiplier I set to 1 across the board (so it no longer takes effect). I set the steady state to something retarded like 7000 RPMs, so I could gain control over the MAP based multiplier, and I have it set up so that it multiplies the 95 and 100 kPa columns by whatever amount, so I get the extra dwell when I want it, not all the time.

Granted, I haven't verified that this multiplier is working with my scanner yet

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

well get on the ball and figure this out haha

[MeentSS02]

Knew I shoulda brought my laptop to work...I'll take care of it on my drive in tomorrow.

Very interesting, I was just looking at doing these changes on my own this week but didn't have any "safe" numbers to play with.

Look forward to seeing any dyno numbers with this.

Come on...let's see the dyno results

I dont know if I will have the cash to do it this weekend or not but I will try to hit the dyno up soon.

[MeentSS02]

Cash? What's that? Is that what they had before credit cards?

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

yes and that is what i need to pay off the credit cards i used this semester when i wasnt working lol

[MeentSS02]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh...mine have been getting a workout lately as well, only my car is still slow

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

no matter how fast your car is, it will never be fast enough so i got used to that feeling haha

[MeentSS02]

Well, still faster than the Scoob 2.5 Legacy GT that wanted some on Sunday The look on his face was priceless...

The other thing to check would be leads. Extra time = extra heat = faster breakdown.
