Graph pasted below and located in my gallery with old dyno sheet.
Well, I have made that dreaded trip to the dyno once more. Left making 481whp and 365 ft-lb's of torque. Mod list is listed under the first pic in my gallery. (27psi, c-16)
My last trip was with a Frank 7. I made 415 whp and 380 ft-lb's. I was a little disappointed, with the mods I have on my car.
After talking with a friend about turbo housings and exhaust/intake manifold pressures, I decided to go with SCM61 turbo from PTE.
Well my first pulls were disappointing again. I lost power and made only 360 whp on the first couple of pulls. I backed it off the dyno and did some thinking.
Again the same friend asked what my timing was, and it dawned on me that I had screwed with it about a month ago. I was trying to do some tuning with the new turbo and had retarded it. I adjusted the timing, which was retarded like me, and waited my turn.
That was the trick, I made 480 whp and 359 ft-lb's of torque. Much relieved, I am going to do some more tuning with fuel and hopefully when I run it up to 9000rpm, I can break 500whp. If you notice, the HP curve was still climbing when I let out.
Anyone have any thoughts on staying in it until 9000rpm?
Think the curve will continue to climb?
