Chris,

It's a brilliant thing to get a car back to life after many troubles. Congrats on your success! Looks like you were, in the end, adequately taken care of. The tireless truism that states something to the effect of "all shops make mistakes, it's what a shop does to remedy the mistake that makes them great" comes to mind (ala Bert-O ). Enjoy the new power (I hear that the weather in that part of the country makes it unfeasible for DD RWD high hp cars after Oct so go out and beat on the brat!). Last, if you need anything in the exterior cosmetics/aesthetics dept, please don't hesitate to shout -- we're kinda known for the "all show all go" one-two punch that gets cars on front covers!

Jeez had to go back to page 58 to dig up the original dyno for comparison.

pyas to not compare trq and hp curves... d'oh

Looking good!

 

Nice numbers!

 

with the rag u had 110 more lbs of tq? was this done on purpose? maybe for longevity...

 

A couple more pics............unfortunately I didn't take many and the ones I did take are garbage.

I don't think looking for the last couple hp or feeling like something was "lost" from the last set up is a positive way to look at this new build. Every motor is different and if Dave is so inclined to be a little more conservative, I believe it's all in Chris's best interests with reliability being a high priority. That's a beautiful car with a great power curve and I think it's about d@mn time Chris got a chance to enjoy it.

 

Noticed the two pulls were made in two different gears, that wouldn't have anything to do with the tq diff would it?

 

First off......where are you seeing tq readings for the new graph? That is a psi overlay.......not tq.

 

^def would affect tq And hp numbers, my car picked up some power going from 4th to 5th gear back to back, 5th gear is a one to one ratio but don't know if he had different gear out in(I assume he would with those powerlevels)

 

WOW....I am more impressed with the way your car looks than i am with the powa...Not saying that powa is not impressive....I am just saying your car looks good. Thats the magazines lose for not doing a page on it.

615+ on a DD is no joke.....so 11 to 13psi should be more than enough to handle most out there

Dont beat on it....I want to see you both at ZdayZ

 

I also have a rear shot with his plate (which is fitting to the car), but I will see if chris wants his plate on the interwebz.

 

Go ahead Mike. I'm sick and hungover today, just worked a few hours and I'm riding the couch now.

 

SoCo and coke.......................many times over, will do that. .



I thought I had a better one from a lower, more straight on angle but it was blurry .

 

Looks good and good numbers and im glad it finally worked out for you.Im sorry i didnt make it down but i got stuck at work longer then expected..............and that was on my day off!!!

 

+1 on the reliability.

either way, thats a ton of HP on the street! and painting that engine bay was definately worth it! looks GREAT!

 

Shootout mode is higher than uncorrected normal.......that being said, more fuel will allow for some more timing adjustments. Last thing you want to do when running out of fuel is begin to add timing. With the new fuel system and another 5+ pounds of boost (plus more timing modulation) should net significant gains.

I'll speculate...............................700 at 24psi

 

Disregard my other posts. I musta been looking at the old trq curve. d'oh! The curves look about the same, minus that last little bit of fuel.
Very impressive

 

whoa..... guess i'm coming back down to york before the weather gets to bad..... CONGRATS !!!! finally

 

 

awww scchmaack!! I saw it when I went by FT today, looking good. BTW, what does it mean when you have white smoke pouring out of the exhaust?... i keeed i keeed!!

Looks like our cars won't be overnight shop buddies for long, you're leaving me!
