28, 2004(UPDATED!):
First off I want to thank a few people:
The guys down at Victor Research
Andy- for being my ic spray cool down beotch. whattttttttttttttt
Aaron- for doing a great job at tuning as always
Shawn- for the misc stuff I always bug him for last minute (find that
spark plug cover lol)
Well headed over to the dyno last night to get the car fine tuned
before the event on Friday.
We decided to give her a decent street tune because as of now Ive been
pretty rich and the car seemed to knock. Before we went the only
change I made prior to the last dyno visit was the eprom chip. I
tossed a new one with the same settings as the previous one except the
new chip had a higher studder box rpm.
I dont have the dyno charts scanned yet but they will be up later
later tonight when I get in. After some work the car put down 375whp
on 93 pump gas at 20 lbs of boost. I think it had more in it but it
was time to move on to race gas due to time restraints.
Fist pull on the dyno was around where I was when I went to the
shootout in OH. (435WHP) The A/F was pig rich and off the charts.
After some tuning the car was able to click off a 447whp. Aaron wasn't
satisfied with that nor was Andy and I. After a 10 minute cool down it
was time to rip it again.
Bam 451.4whp/391wtq @ 27lbs of boost. So of course we had to give it
one more shot see if I could back it up. After another cool down
period the car put down 451.3whp with nearly identical TQ. I knew the
car was definitely a 450hp car. Its nice to have the dyno sheet to
back it up now.
That will
pretty much wrap up my Dyno trips this season. Look forward to a
new bottom end maybe a 3065 turbo. Will see how it all pans out
though.

May 20, 2004:
My
best HP numbers prior to May 20 was 339whp. That was on the
first pull. After the first pull my car kept boost creeping and
we couldnt get anymore pulls in. A week later I blew my head
gasket. Apparently the gasket wasnt a good gasket and the head
was not torqued down enough. My t-belt was also off 4 teeth so I guess
I was running on borrowed time. Anyway some headwork, cams, and
other stuff I hit the dyno on Thursday. Here is the new graph:
431whp/377tq @
25psi. On the next pull the cheapo gm maf coupler burst which I would
have had on tape had my tape not be screwed. Im aiming for mid to low
11's this season. Wish me luck.
October 3, 2003:
I did go to the
dyno on October 2 however it was a very bad experience where my FMIC
had a huge leak and we were unable to fully tune the car. I
only put down 294awhp but was lucky enough to be able to run the car
at the racing event on the 3rd.
There will be much
better results in 2004.
