Hello,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read. Now, I finished assembling my new LS7 motor a few months ago. It started as a brand new LS7 block, with Callies inside, Wiseco pistons with -2.8cc, PRC 265 LS7 heads, 235/251 0.658 0.660 113 LSA, 1 3/4 SLP headers, Borla Stinger exhaust, Vararam, Racetronix fuel pump and upgraded harness, LS7 fuel injectors, and 11.6:1 SCR, etc... I installed this engine in my 01 C5Z, with obviously installing the right harnesses (Katech), knock sensors at the sides, 24X reluctor ring properly set, 1X cam gear, front cam sensor, etc etc. The point I want to leave cristal clear, is that the engine assembly and installation was performed by me with all the care due.
The engine has already 300 miles, and I have been performing the break in period, soooo, no hard push on the gas pedal, no more than 4,000 rpm (mostly), etc. I have been dialing the VE chart (sorry, no WB), MAF, already set the new values for LS7 injectors, worked a bit with the timing chart, BUT, the most important thing I have performed the calibration of the Knock Sensors based on the fact that they are now installed at the sides of the engine block... I used the knock sensor updated data from a file that belongs to a really good friend with the same mod as I (C5 LS7).
I am having troubles with the car, as I cannot perform a WOT test, because it instantly goes into wild KR, and I know just looking at it, that my file has not any crazy data that might compromise the fuel mixture to cause knock, nor the timing is crazy wild. The knock sensor data I have set is the same used on a car with a smaller cam than I do, and stock exhaust... Would that mean that I have to "relax" more the knocks sensors?
Please guys, take a look at my files, and comment! Please.
Note. I have performed multiple iterations of the VE data adquisition, as I do not have a WB.
