169.58 whp + 141.15 TQ New NA highs with Safc

[bullettdsm]

Got back to the dyno finally and adjusted for the Safc. For those that think it may help you, you are correct BUT it will obviously not help a lot. I gained 3 whp and about .5 ft-pounds torque over my previous. It's something, yes, but not worth the cost of an Safc (though mine I took off my AWD that went dsmlink. So I didn't have to buy one).

I'm happy enough that my numbers went up. I probably could have made 170 if I worked on it for a bit more but I really didn't want to spend the time and money just to pull 1/2 more horse.

Hoping to get to the track this week and lower that time

Congratulations on the new whp/tq numbers, Mark.

You're experimentation with the S-AFC for the N/A 420A will prove invaluable for others.

Thanks Paul, I appreciate the kind words.

And yes, one of my reasons for spending the $100 bucks to tune the safc was so others could see that there is very little gain from it. I have seen lots of comments on how it will help very little (which to many may seem like common sense). I hope that this can help illustrate that fact.

Congrats Mark, glad to see you pushing the limits the NA route.

I got an extra 10 whp from the emanage on the dyno...

I know you didn't see sig bigger ponies from the safc but what about the range in which the ponies were built. did you see a better more efficient or "torquier" (for the lack of a better word) curve in the power? I've always been a big believer in not how much horse power is there, but where it's at.

I've got one word for you Mark:

Respect.

Keep it going since I love to see the N/A guys pushing the envelope.

Yeah, I've never really been a dyno queen. Much more interested in how my changes/adjustments affect the power/torque curves (as well as peaks). Good question on the smoothness of the curves. If I had more time (read as money for dyno time) there were a couple of bumps that I would have liked to smooth out. One specifically just after peak horsepower.
But I don't own the dyno and they aren't going to sponser me so I just got her reasonably close. Because my changes were so small, there really is not any noticeable difference in the curves themselves. But definitely good point.

Andy, I appreciate the compliment. Having read your level-headed, informed responses to others I take that comment to heart.

Now to break 13's (Yeah, right)

Aww... you can do it. Just slap some 12.5 CR JEs in there, and get started on installing MSnS. You might want to do a little saving first, so you can afford that $7.00/gallon gas you'll be needing.

! Heh, heh..... around here that's $7.99/gallon for 112 octane.

Wow, some nice numbers.

I'm sorry chris, if you were my son I would have to kill you for wanting to turbo your NA (J/K). Yeah, my kid got a bit of a deal on it (4k plus 2k in payment plan) but now we can play at the track together (If I can get him there).

And thanks Slow. I'm hoping to up those a bit (No, not with turbo) over the winter. Eh, we'll see.
