DieselGeek would have the experience to know for sure, but I'd be surprised if if you'd have to run Alpha-N at lower rpm. Given you can change the numbers on the Y-axis (and X for that matter), you can put the resolution of your vacuum around idle, around cruise and around WOT pretty easily and tune within that window.
Looking at Jeff's car in 2010/11 and this video from DG, idling at 1,500rpm was just under 10inHg vacuum, and I seem to recall it actually idling lower, which is lower vacuum, when I stuck my head in the window while it was idling. What is that, 4,300cfm worth of throttle bodies on a small block?

Its all together now, I need to put some firmware into it and see how it powers up in tuner studio. It passes all the voltmeter tests and the computer sees it when you plug it in, thats as far as I got last night. Not sure when I will get to mess with it more, hopefully this coming weekend.
There is some jumper stuff I have some questions on but no big hurry on those. I have a Jimstim and stimX board and will be "running" it on tuner studio so I can see if anything doesn't work.Last edited by BlueCuda340; March 24, 2014, 02:33 PM.1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S 340 with a 360

Got rpm tonight, played with tuner studio some. Tuner studio is very nice and pretty easy to understand even being a newbie to EFI. I got outputs set for my fans, played with nitrous control as well. It all works on the stimx board. I would love to get this on before drag week but there is just no way. I am going to have a thousand miles on it In tuner studio before I get it on the car lol.Last edited by BlueCuda340; March 26, 2014, 04:32 AM.

Instead of an external surge tank this surge box is what I'm installing in my aluminum fuel cell since the small sump is not enough low level fuel control for EFI.
I will install a -12 bulkhead fitting through the cell an attach the surge box to the fitting that will serve as the pickup. Will also run a line from the fuel return into the box to keep it full similar to how an OE fuel module works.
If you have a stock tank maybe this can be attached to the tank bottom so the stock pickup is located inside, or maybe this spawns some ideas how to fab something similar around the pickup with a couple of oil pan style trap doors.
