Damn, I haven't been back to this thread in a minute... I came back to it just updating everyone on the dyno news. Since my HP/TQ readings in link were logging anywhere between 380/430 I said 360 on the first pull, it did 342.
We noticed that after the first two pulls coolant was all over the ground, and on the 3rd one we came to the conclusion that my head was lifting and pushing coolant. Sam got it at 352 awhp and the motor only seeing 22psi falling off to 19psi because of a boost leak in my FMIC. .Boost Leak from FMIC core
I needed the car to drive back to San Diego so we pulled it off the dyno and I left RRE happy and disappointed. Happy because now I've got a good 7 bolt head to start building since RRE gave me a core and a new FMIC setup sitting on my bed to fix the FMIC boost leak. Sad, more worried actually, that my car was actually broken and would be down for awhile but luckly the head only lifts under boost so I'm crossing my fingers it lets me DD it until the end of the month when the built head will be ready to drop on.
Next time this things up on RRE dyno I have faith we will be able to get it close to 400 and with that built head 28 to 30psi is what I'm planning on running.
