Cool

2GSLSE

Do you have the dyno printout of your tune...and the HP/Tq curve Just out of curiosity?

I know I made 344rwhp / 300rwtq @ 15.5psi

And thats with the nut from the turbo coming off and me trying to find ways of putting it back in, in 30mins flat...cuz if i was chump i would have had to tow the car home or drive it with no boost...ugh...BUT I PREVAILED>... Finished the tune...STEVE YOU ARE THE MAN!!! Yet another satisfied customer...lol

PS

Steve I beat your *** in that Pearl Harbor Game @ Dave & Busters...HAHA!!!

Wish we would have gotten to stick around for Dave&busters. Sounds like you guys had a blast.

Ramy-My friend says thank you so much. The tow truck guy told us it was a $500 tow if it wasnt for your miles. It was 98 miles to his driveway. Barly made. We owe you huge, that was really something i wouldnt expect someone to offer, but you were nice enough to do that for us. A new motor has been found, and will be purchased within the next few weeks. Steve will be tuning it when it comes to delaware next

309hp and 281ft lbs of torque at 14psi. Everyone was very cool. Let me know way in advance if you all want to plan an event. I'd like to come up. In the mean time I'm friggin exhausted from the drive. Steve asked me what kind of suspension I had in the car and I told him it's R1 he stated that he had never remembered an R1 suspension being that rough. UGGGGHH Tein Flex here I come. Thanks again to everyone

Its different for each type of vehicle, but for the FD for instance...there is a 12% drivetrain loss...so add 12% to the dyno HP at the wheels and you will have the flywheel HP (estimate)...
