New build coming need to learn the $6E mask

Hope your not trying to add spark at that point...

No, I am not. Just wondering what happens when the engine goes beyond 5600 RPM, say to 6000.

The engine will have reached total timing before 5600, my question is will it hold it to 6000?

when you hit 5601 RPM, the engine will explode. :D

no, what will happen is that when you exceed the table's value in either MAP or RPM(though you won't be exceeding MAP, just for example), what will hapen is that the lookup routine will apply the highest value(5600 in this case) at whatever MAP is appropriate(let's say you see 95kPa at 6000), and you'll end up with the advance that you see at 5600RPM, 95kPa.

Thanks, thats what I was wanting to know. I have not had this issue come up yet so I was just wondering.

Looks like the guy may be going LT1 swap anyway, so none of this may even matter. He changes his mind every day on what he wants to do to repower the car.

this sounds familiar, hmmmmmm

Don't worry about 6E or the MAF. I have seen so many people switch to SD because of the flow limit of the MAF. I took the actual sensor out of the plastic housing and mounted it into a piece of 4" aluminum thin wall pipe. I also run a Stealth Ram but only have 383ci. engine. As for RPMs, just because the tables run out of numbers doesn't mean the the engine will stop gaining. I have turned 6500+ with other smaller ci engines, My current engine struggles to get past 6000 due to my injectors are too small.

Cool thanks, I will keep that in mind. Still trying to figure out what we are going to put in the car. I am trying to talk him into a 5.3 LS now.....
