They don't use the starter on Mercedes version. Mercedes stops the motor at TDC and then squirts gas a spark for a relight. It's impressive even though I'm not always a fan of it.

This is how Mercedes does it now. No electric start during ECO stop/start mode. As much as I'm not a huge fan of it it actually does save a measurable amount of fuel. Specifically during city driving.

When they ask if i want a bag i say "Yes...the enitre rack "......then i toss them in the parking lot wind. The look on their face is priceless. Or i make them use one bag per item.

Bummer. At least there isn't a hole in the block. Was this the same valve you had the retainer issue?

I can't even get mine close to the neutral position on the trailer.

Some boats won't allow for the drive to be stored down on the trailer. Insufficient ground clearance.

What is your BPW and advance at that point? Lean 'er out a tad...

Are those Vortec heads milled enough for the lift? Coil bind?

Was it 1000' or an actual 1320'?

I don't think a scrap metal facility would accept it. Not enough material to weigh.

Potentially, or prop design (i.e. Bravo 1 to something else). Having said that I would start out with your current prop and go from there, otherwise you would be chasing variables.

Oh, so you renamed the definition file but it is still the MEFI 1 xdf. Got it. I was thinking MEFI 4 and the address spots don't marry up with a MEFI 1 so I was confused. With the table you displayed what were/are your AFRs at the major break points?

First, I noticed you have the MEFI 411 XDF file selected? I use MEFI 110 XDF. Not sure if that is causing you issues on your loads since I thought you were using a MEFI 1 ECM. This should give you a starting point from which to compare. Two major points to be aware of. This is for a 377...

I'm on my 2nd sensor in 7 years. First one lasted about 2 years but got some water spit on it during shut down and the motor just slightly hiccup'ed, hence the failure. Current sensor has been running for 5 years of continuous full time use. I do not keep a spare. My tunes are mostly...

I'm going to be a strong advocate of mounting the AFR gauge in the dash for full time use. When or if you start having issues that gauge can be extremely helpful in diagnosing whether the problem is fuel or spark related. It has personally helped me in that regard one time.

Regarding the High 5 in your first statement this is not true. The diameter of the High 5 is much less than the Rev 4. In addition each blade on the High 5 is much smaller than the Rev 4. The High 5 will actually pull a higher rpm and typically slip more than the Rev 4 series. I've done...

I second this suggestion.

That's not true at all. The key is the second part of your question relating to WOT recommended rpm etc. To truly solve his dilemma we need more data through out the entire rpm band. I recommend taking GPS speeds at 200 rpm increments from idle to WOT. THEN you can see what the prop...

I noticed the old motor in the back ground. Why didn't you want to use the hat and intake off that motor for the new one? Non Vortec head issue?

No, not a big deal. I just didn't have all the details which is why I was asking. Basically my assumptions on parts (injectors) was wrong. I love watching this project grow.
