This is one of those good news bad news threads. I want to thank Ken B. from MD Mortorsports for the time he spent trying to get this done before he left for Bradenton. Well the good news is she made nice power and torque. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

[attachmentid=46448]

The bad news is she started throwing codes but I haven't seen this one yet. It was a P2105 and it has a TSB associated with it. I have the LFP throttle body on it. Has anyone seen or heard of this one?

That was with the 8# pullie running 9# of boost.

The 465hp one I am saving for the track where I will run a mixture of race fuel. The 426hp one is for crusing back and forth to work.

If recent memory serves me correctly, I think that's the throttle body actuator malfunction code. My car is throwing it also because I have a Vortech s-trim mated to a granatelli throttle body pulling a conservative tune 424 rwhp and on hard acceleration I'll occasionally go into limp mode anywhere between 4500 and 6000 rpm. Happens mostly when the engine is cold. My understanding is that these throttle bodies need to be adjusted because otherwise they flood the intake with air and the computer detects a lean condition and shuts you down. I'm gonna try to get the right adjustment on my Granatelli throttle body or just go back to my stock throttle body. I really liked the Granatelli TB when my car was naturally aspirated but if I can't get it adjusted right I'm gonna have to lose it. Hopefully JR will see this thread and weigh in on it. I may be wrong and wouldn't mind hearing his opinion.

Thanks lawman for the info. That is my feeling with the LFP also. I am going to go back to the stocker and see if the codes go away. I will make the call to keep it or not when I see the numbers with the stock TB. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

Holy crap, nice numbers, man! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] I'm jealous, I need to figure out what's going on with my setup (I should be seeing similar numbers).
