[@SloppyMechanics]

this is what i like to see, sloppy inspired... with consideration and a lot of self thought upgrades and cleanliness. awesome about the votech stuff and father son and all of that extra stuff that makes it awesome.

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

right? shows you can do it affordably with out looking like a total disaster!

[@whstidham]

We appreciate the recording heartache.

[@cliffordpurk18]

Content like this is underrated. It's one guy and his garage with a traditional family tradition so to speak. This is real world testing at its finest. Thank you and I'm now a sub!

[@GTStuning-]

Love the details and honest realistic perspective on everything.

[@jesscneal]

Everything you record and upload is very appreciated Joe. Great edits and I love your disdain for all the noise from your neighbors :D

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

Thank you! Hahaha man they drive me nutsssss!!!

[@jamesb5010]

Great videos Joe. My son and I are getting ready to get started on a turbo lq9 S10 Blazer build and we plan on running the terminator x so we really appreciate all the great content. Lucky for us we are close by and definitely plan on making Tempest one of our first stops once the build is done!

[@dannynorman9768]

Your the truth,you go far and beyond…I know it’s tough but keep it up man.

[@95turbostang21]

I love how you explain what you are doing when you are tuning I look forward to more of the Terminator X

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

I think the next one will be a nitrous set up

[@tomgamber7250]

Hey Joe, Thanks for helping me get this four year long project that much closer taking to the track! We are working on the transmission issues and maybe a new converter. We think the voltage drop/fuel pump issue is stock alternator spinning too fast. Gonna try a bigger pulley. Fingers crossed....easy fixes!

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

Happy to be a part of it, thank you! Now tell the weather to warm up so we can play with it!

Your efforts are very much appreciated man. Just found you on KZbin. Sub’d. I’m leaning towards the Holley Terminator x for an upcoming project build. These videos of behind the scenes are great. Keep up the great work. Clay

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

Thanks, nice to have you! We have been having great luck with the terminator x stuff

[@95turbostang21]

Absolutely is much appreciated with you making these videos for us to learn it takes a special person to do what you do let's face it all you really need to do is tune someone's car instead you make extra work for yourself just 2 help others

[@D3thM3tal]

Twist the ends of the fuse so they fit those holders even tighter, same deal with any cord cord that falls out easily.

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

Yea I’d probably Depin the terminator tighten them up and re pin them

[@advancedelectric3104]

Nice results. Dude is lucky is trans didn't burn up. Trans check, converter swap and charging system upgrade...

[@jorgedelatorre15]

How were you able to remove oil pressure from the crank under boost ? Currently having issues with my 5.3l. Under boost it blows threw my oil pressure switch. I’ve replaced it twice now.

[@901taclife6]

Nice build what cam did you install

[@noonecareswhenalltheydo]

hey Joe, when you are doing these tunes, do you watch you closed loop compensation to work on bettering the fuel map? I followed really closely your idle stuff and got my 370 LS to finally idle decently. I want to take it to get it chassis dyno tuned to a guy near me that is highly regarded. If I am able to (hopefully next month) I will be sure to upload videos of the dyno runs, and if he lets me, I will set up a camera to try to record what he is doing on the laptop.

[@bellotech]

Hello Joe the tune was on E85 or pump gas .

[@shawng7902]

Back in the 80s-90s we all knew of sbc s10s around town. Everyone could jump on them nk problem because they wouldnt hook at 70mph. Now days they come off the line on the bumper. Doesnt even seem possible to hook like they do. The shock and suspension tech now days defies physics in some vehicles.

[@georgebow7832]

What part of Maryland are you in?

[@user-oi2nw4uh9r]

What type of turbo kit on truck

[@joeknowski675]

What intake manifold is that?

[@driftingpsycho86]

What types of AFR do you like to see or target to keep the engine safe on an NA.

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

12.5-13.5 typically. Wide range there bet it varies a lot based on a lot of variables

[@lts1ow]

Very cool videos. Do you set AFR/boost first, then adjust timing?

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

I always start with low timing, dial in the fuel, then bring some timing in!

Damn wish i would of had you as my tuner. Dont think the dude knew what he was doing 240hp and 290tq . Junkyard engine do i retune with someone else

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

Pretty common it seems for guys to have bad experiences and then to retune again elsewhere. Some engines / set ups just don’t make any power and the tuner has nothing to do with it. Feel free to email me the tune file if you would like and i can take a look at it, if you have access to it.

[@mrturbo6264]

Homemade log style manifold and cheap shorty header

[@jaydubb71]

And fuel system

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

Fuel system is good enough as is for what his goals are. Well once the voltage issue is fixed. A second pump will be needed if he decides to turn it up much more!

[@dongsled]

What do you think it would have made on 91

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

That really just comes down to how brave you are and how much you want to push it. A couple videos ago i did a 93 octane 76mm car where i stopped at 650. I’m not a huge fan of pushing pump gas

[@dongsled]

I'm mostly curious because e85 is extremely hard to get in eastern Canada

@@dongsled I avoid it when i can but sounds like some meth injection would be a decent option for you then

Hi larry from Canada just have a question got a 93 fox mustang with mild cam 1.7 roller rockers stock bottom end stock heads with on 370 mm Turbo Holley Terminator ECM running only 8 lb of boost what do you think my air fuel ratio should be the tuner here in Canada set it to stay at 14.3 should it be lower or more with 60 lb injectors he made 375 hp 408 ft torque can I get more out of this safely and for some reason the car while driving the engine with just turn off but all power is on and then I will try to start it and it fires right up is this tuning problem or a car problem have you seen this happen thanks

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

14.3 would be fine for cursing and idle, but is way too lean for full throttle conditions. Is it shutting off like while your maintaining speed or when it tries to return to idle?

[@turbo5.061]

@@JoeSimpsonAtTempest its turning off when maintaining speed

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

@@turbo5.061 that sounds more like a wiring issue or some other issue. Does it run good, then just randomly shuts off? Or does it run bad
