You better get with it!
I hope to get our local club a dyno day soon. I am itching to know for sure how much power I'm making. I know dyno numbers don't mean sqaut when it come to putting the power to the ground, but I think the old girl is hooking pretty dang good now!

I'm sure we would all like to know exactly what your making!

What size rear tires you running?
I know I may of asked this before.
But where did you get your first intercooler? The ones on eBay look bigger (like the Godspeed one), just curious since it fits well and you don't have to relocate the battery.
Thanks,
Chris

My first intercooler was a one-off piece that fabbed from two first gen Eclipse aluminum intercoolers. You can use something like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Inter...Q5fAccessories

I finally got around to playing on the dyno!!!!



I wasn't worried about making huge numbers, so my pulls were at 15psi. I also had my rev limiter set at 7K.

I opligise. In my haste to post this last night before I went to bed, I forgot the most important thing----- The DYNO sheets!!!!!!!
With this current setup, I am hitting full boost between 3000rpms and 3500rpms. After 3 pulls, I had to tell the dyno guy to full throttle mine from 2500rpms and in fourth gear. He looked puzzled, but did it anyway. He was shocked after that and couldn't believe how hard and how quick the boost came in. He said my car spooled the quickest out of anything gas powered that he had ever dynoed!!!!! Freakin sweet!!!!!!!!!!!
These pulls are 3rd and 4th gear



My AFRs are tuned for 20psi, but I didn't let him run it over 15psi. So the AFRs were a little rich, but I didn't care

Hey guys. I haven't done a whole lot to my car lately, but I have a friend of mine that is taking art video classes at our local college. He put together a little vid for me from our club meet today. I think that he did such a dang good job that I thought that I would share with you guys
