This is exactly why I hold less weight on dyno numbers. They can vary dyno-to-dyno, day-to-day on the same dyno, etc. Actually driving the car is the best measure.
nothing is more important than driving feel. if you like the way the car runs that important.


really, the best measure of sheer power is trap speed. it gives you an even more accurate measure of power than even dynos do.

you're thinking like a Turbo owner. the more you lean out an engine the more power it will make, to a certain point, and then BOOM! s2k's like to run leaner than average. for example, my WOT AFR is 13.9:1. my car loves it there. now on a boost application that kinda AFR would like pistons on the pavement, but on the s2k it makes the car ufcking scream.
Turbo owner? I have yet to own a turbo. I am just saying, it might be that for his motor, it needs to run a little more rich to add a few degrees of timing. That

at WOT? i know while your cruising down the hwy partial throttle your afr's are high 14's low 15's and at idle its like 20:1.
yes at WOT, but skip brought up a good point, their C.R. is much lower. but they are still running ANYTHING but on the fat side.....

Good news guys, we'll be having a dyno day at Stage6 in Jacksonville on the 10th (yes, the same stage6 that built the Ford GT TT). I've spoken with some guys there, and I'm going to get to do my baselines, then swap out for a T1R 63 single...maybe even a 70 single, if the guy shows, but at least a 63 single. Look for some new numbers in a few weeks!

Best of luck to you Nate! I am eager to see what you can put down without the bottleneck up top. My guess is that the 63 will feel really nice though!

Some of us have lives. Not me of course, but some of us do.

not much to talk about really. everything has pretty much been discussed. No real new products to test or really get into a convo about yet. Plus everone is pretty much doing the same thing, and only asking for results expected.

I'll be testing 2 or 3 different exhaust setups in 2 weeks...

...and a new clutch and comptech flywheel once tax money comes in

What's everyone doing with their tax money?
