Thread: VE likes lean mixtures! :)

Hi folks,

Just answering to one of the questions from other forum members:
YES, VE LIIIKES lean mixtures. See the graphs below!

You know you need to provide more info.
My questions. Sure others have more.

Fuel octane?
Which valve springs?
Engine compression?


I hope that motor is still on the dyno. Now hold WOT for 30 to 40 sec. with load and tell us what happens.

Provide some EGT readings @ peak HP and RPM.

Nice results.

Fuel octane - 100 (EURO rating)
Valve springs - 20V + VE inner
Compression - 12:1
Peak EGT seen - 750-800 deg C under any conditions

And even more..
20V Head, modified combustion chambers, modified N1 pistons
20V low / FS4 high cams, custom cams timing

cams switched at 6200 both

ask for more info if needed

Nice work, any pics and vids ?

My father always says lean is mean.

Stratton.

You confirmed what I already know and many others do not...

thanks for the info!! how have the valve spring combo been holding up with the fs4 cam, and how often do you take it to 9k? are these the first 20v/fs4 hybrid cams franklin made, or are these their revised version? please comment on your cam gear settings and if it's possible to buy a set of adjustable gears from you.

Do you trust that O2 sensor?

if im reading right this car made 247hp?

Yeah, it's innovate o2 sensor. It was recently calibrated on the fresh air.

Did you keep the timing the same for each run?
