Many of us have a dream of building our daily driver into the
ideal vehicle. Something that would brings a smile to our face every
time we drive it. Mine dream was building a 383 SBC with tons of torque.
A responsive car that would be best for short bursts in the low to
mid RPM range. – the proverbial stop light to stop light terror! Yet,
I didn’t want clients to think they were in a hot rod. Also, I wanted
reliability and decent gas mileage. I started with a 1988 350SBC Truck
motor because it has the bosses for a roller cam, 4 main bolts and a
one piece rear main seal. I opted for 9.4:1 compression ratio (pump gas),
Edelbrock RPM Performer aluminum heads, 1.6:1 roller rockers, long tube
Hedman headers and Tune Port Injection from a 91 Corvette (known for the
low and mid range torque). Although I researched it a lot, choosing a
cam was difficult. The one I picked showed itself to be difficult to tame.
This is the table I set for Scott to work with. It’s difficult to convey
all the effort and dedication Scott put into ensuring the program was
optimized. I looked at several companies offering programming services.
This task it not like buying a part. Besides the programming knowledge,
it takes perseverance. This is a process of refining the countless points
the computer calls upon in a myriad of driving possibilities. It takes
repeated tweaking. I doubt Scott does this for the fortune and fame.
It must be something in his character that drives him to get it right.
You can’t pay for that. Be thankful you found someone who you can trust
and rely on. Just think of the power you’ll be leaving behind if you go
elsewhere. 8/3/08

Scott,
I wanted to drop a quick line to you today.
Rec'd the chip yesterday in the mail. Today I installed a 350 knock
sensor and the reprogrammed chip. The engine fired the 1st time
and I adjusted the fuel pressure and timing. After a last minute
check I went for a short drive. My nephews (teenagers) saw me driving
the car and wanted a ride so I took them for a test spin, they're
just getting into cars. WOW! NO ping and great throttle response.
Thank you for your experience and a good choice of timing/fuel
curve.
Since the engine is brand spanking new I've have not jumped on it
completely, but the quarter and half throttle spurts were enough to
make the kids hang on and come home wide eyed. Amazing it could be so
simple.
Keep doing what you are you doing, you are a credit to TPI rodders
everywhere.
Please let me know if I can help spread the word, you will have my
endorsement for what it is worth.
Customer response to
an E-Mail about his chip.
I did put it in and it seems to
have made a big difference. It starts better, runs better and seems to
have
a great deal more power, I have to get the TV cable on the tranny
adjusted
so I have not driven it to much, but so far it seems to be great.
you know how it turns out, and thanks again.
Another customer response:
Hello again, I drove with the new chip, and it seems that the
timing
problem or detonation problem is fixed, and is running much smoother
now.
When I get a chance, I'll hook up to a laptop and do a scan for you,
but
I'll have to find one first. Thanks again for all your help.
Take care.
This guys was done by a major supplier who didn't care. I sent
him a chip (for his adapter) free, because he just got back
from Iraq.
Let's all support our troops.
