Ernie,
Nice job. But gotta say a "street" car with no A/C, no power steering, and no emissions equipment? I see we use the term "street car" loosely

Regards,
Crispy

LOL..........to be honest the A/C didn't work anyhow, so I just took that and P/S off at the same time. Plus is lightened the car up alot.

You guys have to remember I made 409rwhp on a 95+ day w/ a ton of humidity. With the 15lbs spring Im making boost earlier so my power curve has changed too. Looking at my wideband Im still very rich so theres alot left in it.

Been driving it much these last week with these frickin' 95+deg days and 90% humidity days. I have been thanking the gods I functional AC in my car.

Gawd...I couldn't even imagine dynoing a car in these temps! Any idea what your AIT's were?

No, I dont know what the intake charge temps were, but I imagine pretty high. Probably why Ray tuned it rich, to be safe.

Ernie, from the pics of your car, it looks like you have a turbo with an engine bolted on the side of it

What RPM is that pull up to? Almost 9000?

Actually, yes. I plan on running a methonal injection so I can run 18psi safely on the street. That way my turbo can "wake up" a bit more.
