Re: AEM Infinity 506 in a 3000GT

My existing latch cable seems to still work. The little plastic ferrule piece on the cable is still busted, but I don't think the other half of it can pop out, and pulling on the lever still actuates the latch just fine. I have a new cable coming, but pulling the fender and everything apart to replace it sounds super un-fun.
Got the hood latch all back on and started driving around. No leaks, everything sounds good. Oil pressure good, etc. First pulls with wastegate pressure are about 8 psi of boost. VE table looks pretty good, my A/F ratio is right around 11.6:1 like I want, timing is from my old AEM Series2 map with a couple degrees taken out because of the switch to the stroker.
I set up the boost control stuff like I normally would, and set the initial duty target to 20% and set a boost protection at about 19 psi just to be safe. Go out and get through 1st and 2nd slowly and then punch it in 3rd. Boost rockets up to 19 psi before I'm even at 4000 rpm and the ECU shuts it down until I let off the throttle. At least the protections work as designed.
I went through all the boost control tables and they were displaying in PSI, but are actually set up to work with KPa. I switch my display prefs to KPa and see that various tables are adding to my boost target. So instead of my boost target being 12 psi, it was 22 psi. Whoops. I got that all fixed and made a few pulls around 12 psi to start getting my boost solenoid pulsewidth table set up, but need to do more tomorrow. It is supposed to rain, but hopefully there are some windows of time where I can play a little bit.
Really liking how easy it was to get a very good initial tune with extremely little work.
Overall I'm very happy with how the car is coming together so far. The front end looks great with all the correct '99 pieces installed, including the driving lights. Power-wise, at 12 psi it feels really quick already, maybe on-par with the Stingray, but it is difficult to tell. The Spyder is making a lot more "racecar" noises. Between the new exhaust, more displacement, cams, mafless intake, and having the top down - it really feels like a wilder ride. Boost response with the 16Gs on the 3.5L motor is very good. Insta-spool anywhere above 4000 rpm, and I got somewhere around 9 psi by 3000 rpm in high gear.
A few more tweaks on the ECU to get some additional features enabled correctly and raise the boost. Then pick up some E85 and make sure my ethanol sensor is working properly and set up the flex-fuel parts (with more boost - of course). Should be fun!
