603 whp @ 27.5 psi. 500 rwtq.

I also weight the car on the scales today and it weighed in at 2,296 lbs.
which vacuum are you running ur psi from the boost controller off of. maybe u have a boost leak or pressure drop of 2.5 psi!

so the wastegate is reading the pressure right off the turbo, and so it opens before u want it to just a tad. Technically wouldnt u want the wastegate to open based on how much pressure the manifold is seeing right since thats whats goin into the motor and theres no way it wud leak any psi once its already in there. im probably wrong, since u are alreayd close to already almost maxing out the turbo right? so it wud end up blowing hot air when the manifold sees 30 psi cause the turbo could be blowing more then that.

I noticed when i switched my line going from the turbo (thanks to dubulup for clarifing my theory, and i trust what he thinks) to the manifold, i started boosting 9 psi! so that whole time i thot i had a 5-6 psi spring in there, i was wrong. it turns out i had a 10, and i just bought a 10 from hks, so good thing i didnt install it yet and tried that first, cause that saved me 50 bux. I sent it back and got a 1 bar spring. waiting til iget a wideband o2 to drop in the 14ner. Im pretty sure my leak is comin from the bov even tho i replaced the o-ring still.

i dunno its late im just jabering on

Damm that **** is light. Should do some good #'s at the track.
On some of the 570whp pulls, it was tuned at 12.8 That's when it was glowing the most.

Last pull 603whp it's right at 11.7 afr.

Hey thanks, I have no option other than switching to a auto

I'm light but I still have radio/door panels, carpet, headliner, dash, power windows and locks.

I'll post some more neat pictures and videos taken from yesterday.

We're going back to the dyno today (More cars to tune). I'm going to post the sheet from there. I'll just have him cut me a disk so I can post it up. No corrections factors or bs like last time.

The spring in my boost controller was too soft. We tried using a spring some a transmission and it was just too soft. Boost shot up to 35-37psi 5-6 times.

We then took the spring that came in the boost controller and stretched the hell out of it and even made a spacer for it so I can could get a few more psi. We were desperate.

Very nice #s, that is a boatload of hp.

I'd be curious to see what you make on a dynojet----my sig #s were on a dynapac as well, so I wondering about the correction factor.

All that does not matter. That's just for bragging rights.
The only # that matters is the one at the end of the 1/4.

Congrats, Nice pictures and very nice numbers.

Would you want to street port that thing some time? I would like to see the jump in dyno numbers with street porting at those boost levels.

Why does the dyno sheet you're showing say FLYWHEEL Horsepower and not RWHP? Does this dyno estimate drivetrain loss and figure it into the calculation? I just want to be sure.
