well that may take a bit, i omitted the part where i may need to remove the valve covers to check the rockers..... they are making noise. map signal is clean so it may be nothing.

pretty darn close! i will know more once i get some miles into it and logIt looks like that MAF Curve was spot on then
Haven't really been following the tuning sessions y'all were doing because it was over my head. But, for the last several years I have heard speed density preached over maf, so why the switch back?
BTW, awesome job on the build. I may not comment, but I do follow along.

I decided to go MAF this time because i could... technically speaking the car is actually tuned both ways... MAF only affects the fuel table in this tune. I have tuned dozens of SD cars and wanted to see how MAF would turn out.
Alright guys I hope all this will require us a rocker adjustment. What do you think? Requires some disassembly to get at.

What rockers are you using ?
I know my Comp gold RR are noisy, even perfectly adjusted.
Hard to tell from the video exactly how much noise you're dealing with.

They are speed pro, not the best in the world but they work. They were noisy with the last cam as well. Maybe I should put some miles on it first before assuming something is wrong.

Yeah , if you're confident adjustment and pushrod length are correct could be nature of the beast.
I pulled the driver valve cover as it requires no disassembly, found a few that needed a 1/4 turn.. also one rocker was hitting the valve cover, so a little love with a file took care of that. Now the noise moved to the passenger side... oh well gonna have to bite the bullet and pull it apart.
Yell,.... well it runs,...A small adjustment is just gonna have to be the lesser of two evils. I think it's amazing that you did all that stuff, and it works. ( you gotta know I'm be holding, you're one of two of us that does this kinda sht)
I'll let you know.And who is the other one?
i know it's not me, I have sht, I don't build it
Well i got the valves all adjusted and i must say things are much less noisy under the hood.... I let the car warm up and strapped the go pro to my head in an attempt to get some video driving the car. Right up until the point that i tried to put it into gear, it wont go into gear with the car running..... Go figure..
I stood there thinking to myself that exhaust is going to be screaming hot, nope not happening today.. I went inside and watched a movie with the wife instead. Needless to say i might get the clutch adjusted in the morning and drive it around the block before i head off to work or just sit on my laurels and drink coffee.

Thanks Mike, I don't think I have to say it but it was not easy to do. Of course until I put some miles on it I wont know for sure if i got it right or not.
I promise I put the cable back on the quadrant.
really I did.
i think.
maybe I'm sure I think I did.

Sooo i took the car for its first trip around the block, I must say she runs excellent!!
I cant believe the MAF setup and megasquirt work so well together, My largest fuel discrepancy was only 7% on the first drive. If you dont know.... that really close for a base tune. I am very happy, I can let the clutch out in first and the car will just start moving on its own without surging or bucking... I had it idling at 450rpm this afternoon....
Did some searching and on the HP tuners site alot of guys say the HP is fairly close to the MAF g/sec.
on an engine dyno a PD blower engine usually makes (MAF g/sec)*(1.1) at the flywheel.
this rough estimate says i have 380hp at the flywheel or 326 at the tire.
This seems like a fun way to guestimate HP.

Anne Arbor Michigan is real nice but I am ready to be home.
Today I have to do a presentation for my class of peers, I have a wicked hangover.
