Logan one thing about your new intake setup that Ive been meaning to ask.. With the injector rail and placement, this pretty much leaves no option for air filters. I wasnt sure if this setup will be the same as your "production" version or not. I know that you had mentioned that the injectors placed there provided better atomization, but would bringing them in even a bit, perhaps putting injector bungs right at the base of the trumpets with the fuel rail right on top (or underneath) of the manifold perhaps be a feasable solution? Or whatever your thoughts may be on this?

I have some pics of the header when it was first built on my main thread, its in the 3rd gen build threads. Cant give any specs on it otherwise, a lot has changed.

Awesome....
Thanks Yeah that was a nightmare that still haunts me in my sleep. lol. This year it will be much better!

Its possible to make a air filter for the external setup, but a bit of a pain. HP wont change very much putting them at the base of the trumpet. Definitely make the airbox much easier.

By stock, do you mean a completely stock 20B intake, or shortened as with the Defined kits? If shortened, were secondary injectors used, did you plug the bungs, or did you remove them with the shortening?

Thanks for sharing all of this information. A real service rendered to the community.

Impressive work. That's a pretty gnarly looking setup as well.

Absolutely astonishing and awesome to read about... Knowing that this kind of power is achievable with any sort of amount of money involved makes me remember why I wanted to just stay N/A. Thank you for the continued inspiration.

Correct, shortened. We keep the secondaries, they are just moved down an inch. No problem

Great job! I was wondering, while looking at the dyno graph I noticed that it said torque flywheel. What does that mean? is it some sort of multiplier to estimate flywheel torque?

Again, fantastic build.

Thanks Al! I was excited to see your car all finished up. I remember way back when it first started. Feels good huh?

Short answer-

Its the way dynapack does it

Long answer-

All dynos actually read wheel torque. Wheel torque however is a staggering number. Example 4th gear 1:1 x the rear end gear 4:44:1 wheel torque on my engine is 1,252 ft-lbs. Dyna pack realized this and will read exactly that. The number we are all so used to seeing is in fact flywheel torque with drivetrain losses. That is how dyno-jet, mustang, dyno dynamics etc displays the torque. Its easier to read, and it does the math internally. So on a dyna-pack you must select "flywheel torque" to show what we are all used to. Luckily there is a option of "0 correction" which is what I select. So this "flywheel torque" is actually wheel torque like all the other dynos show.
