SkinnyG's '61 Apache

[SkinnyG]

Shifting:

1-2 and 2-3 are now both commanded at 4750rpm, and are all in by 5400. I did raise the rev limit to 6000 just for some extra. It's not a slow lazy shift at all - the motor just gets there fast!

Boost:

I may just leave the two springs in for now, but move the wastegate reference from the compressor (theoretically ideal, but does not take into account pressure drop through the charge pipes and intercooler), to what used to be the PCV fresh air port on the throttlebody. I'm currently seeing a peak of 8.5psi at 4000rpm and a low of 6.5psi at 5500rpm, I suspect it should be more consistent regulating right at the TB inlet.

In theory, this should maintain a much more consistent boost pressure since it is looking at the final pressure drop from the intercooler and piping and (hopefully) maintaining the wanted boost.

Sounds like a project for the weekend.
