Also check for vacuum leaks.

Ok, I'll try all of these. The car has less than 30k miles and about 1-2k miles with the supercharger. Thank you very much for your advice!

Anyone on here using a tune from Moto-East?

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to pop in and let all of you know that Phase 10 RaceROM is finally here for all model years and all regions of the world (Not just the initial 2013-2014 and 2017-2018 release), from 2013-2018 models on USDM, European, Asian, JDM (Yes it's different), and Gulf spec ECU's. Our entire tune library has been updated to accommodate the new software, and we are now rolling out these tunes to new and existing customers. A lot of our customers running Edelbrock kits have been asking about this update, so I wanted you all to be among the first to know that our Delicious tunes are all built up and vetted out for the new software.

The latest version is denoted as V25.00. Though RaceROM 10 is really a complete and utter overhaul of the way we do tuning on these cars, some of the more important changes are as follows:

- Improved tip in throttle response throughout entire rev range
- Completely overhauled closed loop correction outside of factory closed loop scenarios
- Completely overhauled Flex Fuel implementation. Ethanol content, ethanol ignition advance, and more are now all dedicated parameters in EcuTek. The way Flex Fuel is programmed is also far superior in RaceROM 10, and allows much tighter integration into the tune. What this means for the end user is a smoother transition between fuel types, and a smoother ramp in power delivery as ethanol content increases or decreases.
- Dedicated custom map to warn you when your AVCS system has failed to activate in a timely manner, letting you know before you push the car and risk potential damage.
- Vastly improved control over fueling in medium to full load areas.
- Improved transition from low load MAF calculation to high load VE calculation.
- Improved drivability.
- Addressed a particular bug where some vehicles would experience a hesitation in high gear, partial (20-40%) throttle pulls. This was typically experienced when trying to pass on the highway, for example.

If you have any questions about this update, feel free to contact me via email at sales@delicioustuning.com.com. This update takes what is already a great supercharger kit, and improves it more than we previously thought possible.

Zach, we in the community can’t thank you and Bill enough for all the excellent work you do. You guys continue to go above and beyond.

Posted this in the dyno thread but figured I'd share here as well.

Edelbrock w/ stock pulley
DW300c fuel pump and DW 700cc injectors
Delicious D box, flex fuel kit, and Edelbrock tune
Gruppe-S UEL header and over pipe (both coated)
E85
Stock front pipe, cat back, and clutch

327whp and 243wtq

Sorry for potato quality. Note Delicious performed their V25 revision on the car following this dyno (same one Zach is mentioning above) and it feels even better than it did when it put down these numbers -really a nice upgrade and I highly recommend it.

Huge shout out to Nik and Hal at Dynosty for being super chill and helpful, and to Zach at Delicious for all of his help with dialing the tune in!

New Edelbrock owner here. Been loving the kit. Got a dyno tune from Drift-Office and the car has been excellent! First track day with the kit is tomorrow!

Just completed my test drive and found a potential leak at front driver side manifold area. It looked wet. If I'm lucky, it's just gasket lube seeping out from when the manifold was dropped in. If not, the manifold gasket is damaged.

I torqued the manifold bolts down to 10 ft-lbs per step 117. That felt weak, did anyone go tighter? Tomorrow morning, when the engine bay is cool, I plan to wipe the engine down, and test again for a leak in the same area.

"117. Using two (2) M8 x 30mm bolts and one (1) M8 x 50 bolt, loosely secure the passenger side runner to the cylinder head. Torque all six (6) bolts to 10 ft-lbs, starting with the center bolts and working outwards"

Edit: First off, I panic-posted (sorry). The manifold runners don't hold oil! Second, dirty car is dirty. All is well, car runs strong, the install instructions are great.

I too want to give a shoutout to Zach @ Delicious. We're in the middle of upgrading from the V21 tune to the V25 and even before dialing in, the difference this tune has made in smooth power delivery is well worth the upgrade. Can't wait to see the results once I get these new injectors and E85 in another couple weeks.

Edelbrock on 93 felt quick, e85 makes it feel fast -you're going to love it.

Definitely agree on the Delicious V25, the drive ability is way better than any of my previous tunes.

Greetings everyone!

Looking for some feedback on exhaust setups...

Mainly curious of the consequences, good or bad, for going with a full 3" system versus just a 3" catback?

My current reasoning is that I want to eliminate as many potential limiting factors as possible and keep building up on the power curve gradually.

Current Setup For Reference:
Header - Agency Power EL
OP/FP - JDL Ultra Quiet 2.5"
Catback- FT86SF Resonated 2.5"
Pulley - Stock
Tune - Delicious F-n-G

Also contemplating changing the header setup to something from ACE down the line (within the next year).

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

The ACE is an incredible upgrade. The volume that it generates through a more open catback can be ridiculous though. There is no way a 2.5" catback is going to be a restriction for you, I would plan long term for the header. A catback is for looks, volume and maybe a little weight savings.

Thank you!

That is as I figured, and I will definitely be looking forward to the header upgrade. I'll play around with a few different setups and see which suites my liking then. I must've been lucky back in'14 when I originally got my single exit version of my catback. Had just the right amount of everything. After the super charger it was loud just to be loud. Killed me a little inside to get rid of it....

Again, appreciate the feedback!

Essentially, I've not seen gains for any NA car, going larger diameter than 63mm.

Apologies for any confusion, car is already supercharged.
