I'm running the ACE CS-400 with my edelbrock. What did you want to know ?

Curious what the torque curve looks like combining the two.

I love the low end tq the CS-400 provides, but depending on your intent you may also want to consider the anaconda for tq in high Rpms.

As far as quality I can't speak highly enough.

Depending on the type of phone u have, iphone or android, you will need to find a bluetooth OBDII which is either compatible with both operating systems (The more expensive ones $100+ usd) or one specific for android or apple. Usually the apple specific are more expensive than the ones for android because of the licensee fee that the OBD manufacturer has to pay to apple, unlike android which is free and doesn't need a license.

Anyway, you also have to carefully check what the manufacturer of that OBD says it can read. Some OBD are very simple, and to some of us useless, while some other OBD have better code and can read more things. Remember there is nothing mechanical about OBD, it's all 100% software. So if the OBD doesn't have the code to read a certain sensor, then you will not be able to read it.

I made a lot of reasearch, yet I was not able to find a bluetooth OBD for apple phone which included the engine oil pressure......I'm pissed off about it, cuz the damn thing cost me 80 bucks. The manufacturer said that it was because they have to license the code for each individual sensor from apple......and that maybe in the future they will license that sensor....So I guide myself with oil temp, which is inversely coorelated with oil pressure.

So these are just some pitfalls to keep in mind, as not every $12 buck OBD is created equal.

Cheers

Thanks I think I'll get an android tablet

I believe that most of the people that have changed headers with the edelbrock, are actually using ACE headers, so there should be plenty around. It was an option for me too after I realized my long tube headers werent a straight forward install, but I decided to keep the long tube ones as I didn't want to buy another set of headers.

From what I've heard, header performance dimishes a bit after installing forced induction. Like you wont notice such a big difference as you would on a naturally aspirated car, between the stock and aftermarket headers.
But my headers are loud, louder than the ACE, so that's why I also kept them, haha.

I have the ACE/250 installed on mine and the E-SC. The car is amazing, imo, as there is low end torque on tap (which was my goal).

I don't have a dyno chart yet but my clutch is slipping :/ I run E85 with a DT tune... couldn't be happier with the setup!

Once I find time to get this clutch I have installed I will put her on the dyno and get some numbers.

It's actually the opposite.

What clutch were you considering? ACT? South bend? OSG?

I'm running southbend, it feels basically like the stock one, and it will not slip.

there is no point in trying to get a clutch that is super hard, if this is your daily driver and you also track the car a couple of times a month.

Very good choice, I'm 100% satisfied with it.

Which soundbend clutch are you running and how much torque are you putting to the wheels?

I'm thinking of running e85 (anticipating I'll be close to 250 ft/lbs to the wheels) and am curious what my best options are... I'm leaning towards the ACT HD pressure plate with the full face disk, although with a torque rating of 270 ft/lbs I'm afraid it might not hold the power.

What clutches are those on e85 using?

I bought a used ClutchMasters FX350. Probably overkill for DD use but I got a deal on it and plan to upgrade the clutch fork and pivot ball as well. Hoping this won't be too pedal hard of a setup.

Though, I can't imagine that this setup will be harder than the RSP PP that I have in my Supra... that PP is a beast and I can DD it no problem.

My e-85 tune is 249 ft/lbs so your right on.
