The problem is a nasty bog, and pinging noise. Right now I am running a Z6 wiht ZC pistons, milled head, and timing retarded just a little bit, not sure how much.
One of my big questions on both of my Z6s i have had, is how do you get the ignition timing right, or know if it is right iwth the dizzy being as weird as it is..

I am still having trouble with the Y8 intake manifold, but I am getting a little closer, I am haivng a weird problem where my TPS plug wont clip into the TPS, which could be causing the bog, but that is okay, I will just put another tps on the throttle body.

How do you eliminate pinging, I know a higher octane gas and a little retardation of the timing. But I really dont know where to get higher octane gas, would something like 93 and some octane booster really work? I have no faith in octane booster, but maybe there is one that really works, if so what do you recomend?

But other than these couple problems man, I am excited and cant wait to see what I run in the 1/4, I am hoping for mid 14s atleast.. And was thinking maybe I can squeeze but I think my nitrous kit will have to wait for the next motor i put in the car, lol.

 

What are you running for compression? The bogging is probabally because of the retarded ignition timming.

Pinging could be caused by any number of things. The easiest, and simplest way to get rid of it is to tank up with some higher octane gas a few times. I'm not sure what's around your area, but up here, there are a few places about that carry 97+ octane for the people with really high-end stuff (i.e., Delta Sonic, Hess, etc.). Do not waste time with octane booster; it really doesn't work well. If the higher octane stuff doesn't take care of things, i'd clean you injectors and fuel delivery system.

hope this helps...good luck.

 

You can try mixing toluene into your gas... heres a link...

Hope you have better luck with yours then mine... I broke an axle today....

Well i went to thgas station, got some 93, and went to autozone and got a bottle of the N.O.S octane booster, call me a ricer, blah blah, anyway, i have no pinging now, but also we adjusted the valves and there is no noise in the head or block so that is good. But now we have a nasty bog, which is from a sensor, or something, not exactly sure what would cause the bog but. I would like to see some pics of a Y8 intake minaifold on a EF, if anyone has one.
