It's not much but I got the idle dialed in way better. A wise birdy said to inspect my throttle cable so I did and it was too tight. So tight it was idling at like 1800... Yeah that was not fun to deal with. The graphs are looking better. I don't have an IAC so getting idle dialed in is going to be fun.

It's very different than tuning my Hellcat that's for damn sure.


Now begins my long journey. :)

Sounds healthy! Mine was swinging like that (I know stock pcm) because no transmission was selected. Chose transmission and fixed it (while still m6), obviously different ball game with Holley. But basically it didn’t know what to do or what tables to use because it didn’t know any transmission was connected

Drove fine, but always hunted like that at idle

What tires and rims you run?
Forgestar D5, 18's in front - 15's in rear.

All research on the Holley forums suggests its lean. I will try enriching it when I get a chance to tomorrow.

Weight with me not in the car IMG_4080.jpeg
Test one.
IMG_4083.jpeg
Test two.

All weight tests were full fluids and me in the car. IMG_4071.jpeg
Also studied some of my holley courses online and got idle dialed in. Compare this with my idle from before.
Coming up soon is my first time moving the car under its own power.

Hard work pays off. Congrats man, no better feeling than something you build moving for the first time. Outstanding work - idle is perfect, sounds real healthy

Cars 98% done. Waiting on suspension. Then some honey-do list shit.


Learned a lot. @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC gave me a midnight lesson on base timing. All fluids, bolts, etc were checked. Leaks fixed. Base idle is perfect. Got it to idle at 1k rpm and it’s so smooth. Like butter. Th400 shifts great, did some reconfiguration of reverse and thats awesome now too.

Also I am the first to have a pan for a TH400.
