nice gains! but from what i've heard the hub dynos read a lot higher because you're without 100lbs of rotating mass.. but all that matters are the gains!

Theres a guy in my same club that put down 280 on a dyno jet with the same mods except he had test pipes instead of HFCs???
idk haha
Hub dynos read higher. You don't have to deal with 200ish lbs of rim and tire rotating mass. I've never even understood the point of hub dynos. But your vids are cool.
Installed Optima Red Top Battery. Car was ded and wouldn't hold a charge do to the new gadgets in the cockpit. I went with Optima gel cell technology. Yellow top was listed at 5 lbs heavier and the red top already had 720 cold crank amps. Stock is supposedly 490. Red Top Listed weight is 31 lbs and stock is 35.5 lbs. Just holding both the Optima felt slightly heavier. I was too lazy and didn't weigh the Optima but did the stock and it was 34.5 lbs. Not sure if some of the acid leaked out? Or Optima is stretching the truth on their weight? Whatever.
Start up was crazy quick and red top finish is cool too.
Don't let anyone tell you it's easy luggingthat thing in and out. I had to do it a few times do to my retardedness and not knowing you need to put the cover under the battery to make it the same height as stock. My back is still sore from leaning over.
Pics for the useless.

what did you use to fill the hole, i used a plastic plug and siliconed under it, at first i rattle canned it black but faded over time so i brushed touch up paint over it
I used a 7/8" metal hole plug. didn't put any silicone or any sort of sealant. may wrap it in some nylon tape later but if water gets through it'll just run down the little channel and go out onto the side of the car.

this is what the plug i used looks like
i saw that one, but i opted for plastic instead for whatever reason... and i didnt think about the water running down the channel.. oh well at least i know it wont pop out
