That was a good dyno session. Everyone posted some good numbers on the dream wrecker. I'm sure the numbers were a little low for those who had their cars done, but that dyno is far more realistic than the inflated mustang dynos and such. It's a shame myself and 088 couldn't get all our issues worked out, but we'll see about another dyno day in a month or so...hopefully by then I'll have sold my S13 and bought the fuel upgrades to get me to 20 psi

It was nice meeting everyone. Hopefully I'll be at Thunderhill in two weeks and give you a full report on how much better the car is.

Cool meeting everyone as well. Thanks to Nick (SmogSux) and Nader (Funkspectrum) for help with my randomly emerging issues with bolts.

It was cool seeing Jack's (jrx13) FB headers go from black > red > black, and Nick's FC's dumped WG blowing blue fire and torching his DP.

Jack, I sent you ^that^ vid.

Nick, I'd like a copy of the ^blue flame thrower vid^

Jack said it was cool to post my vid of his engine, so here it is. (Not sure why it's grainy, I'm still getting used to my new camera.)

I'm down for another tune, but i'll probably just be there to watch...unless I get my water/methanol inj done by then.

Dyno Sheets!

Hey Guys,
It was great meeting working with you guys over the weekend. I have emailed a few of the Dyno Sheets out tonight, and will continue when I can tomorrow or Thursday to knock out the rest.

The only email address I don't have is tek_88. I have a few runs of yours as well if you would like them then PM me your email address and ill be sure to send yours out as well.

All that fun makes me miss my RX-7s... I'll have one again one day I am sure.

Thanks,
-Brian

i don't think the blue flame is from the leadings not firing but from the methanol. blue flame is cooler than a red flame so it could be from the leading coil not firing however, as i noticed you lost a good 15% power from the leading not firing. the combustion is a bit weak due to those figures and raw unburnt fuel getting through and afterburning.

who knows but that is cool looking, too bad i couldn't see it in person..

I sent out the rest of the Dyno Sheets this evening, I do apologize for the 'Dream Wreckers' numbers. Also for the first day where I didn't catch that number which was off causing the inflated numbers. All the sheets that I sent out are with the correct inertia settings and are the most accurate.

What you will find is that a Mustang Dyno and Dyno Jet, or just about all Dyno's vary in the amount of power they show. This one tends to be in the lower numbers compared to the rest, but realistically when I double check those numbers against stock car's they come through to what they should be.

Anyways, hope to see you guys again sometime soon.
