OH YAY! Looks and sounds good.

Any ideas on the front bumper yet? (Sorry if you said earlier in the post... haven't read up on this in a couple months)
 
NO Numbers yet we are working out the bugs right now ...like trying to get the fan to turn on at the right temp, getting the alternator to charge the battery, replace an O2sensor, and then the prologger boost controller locked up soooo that ended our day ..
But i have a new boost controller on the way and should get here tommorrow or tuesday then we will pick up were we left off..
 
Do you possibly have a dyno sheet with RPM instead of MPH? The MPH graph makes it look like you have insanely slow spool and not a lot of time under good power. The RPM graph would help get a better idea of when and how long you are in peak power.

Great numbers though. Nice setup!
 
Hmmmm..... Interesting. Congrats!

Who's doing the tuning with the Electromotive?

Whats the air temp and elevation if you don't mind me asking?
 
Congrats! Very cool to see you stay persistent and reach a goal. Soon that thing will be in the 700 range. Was this corrected #s?

Thanks for keeping us posted bro! A few of us are going to PMI on the 3rd. You should try to make it!

Ill try to get a print out of the dyno in rpm for ya..but a little bit past 140mph was 7800rpm
 
LOL new saying "Are you gonna race it?" hahaha

Congrats man!!Sounds nice and spool doesn't sound like it takes to long to come on for a 2.0 motor.


Soooooo......Are you gonna race it LOL?
 
CONGRATS !!!!! Now let's see that bad boy put those numbers to the pavement / cement and see some numbers in the 1/4 mile...

yea it spools really quick at 300rpm it already has 5psi LOL

All im waiting for now is my slicks and then off to the track i cant run without my shoes
 
87 degrees today and ft collins is a little bit above 5280ft

I'm not knocking your set-up at all and I applaud you for what you have done to the community but the numbers are a bit exaggerated.... (Boy am I going to get flamed for this one....)

Anywho..... so I don't have to sit here at 2:30 in the morning typing it out I'll post a link to get my point.

(5th paragraph about sums it up)

Dynojet SAE and STD correction will not work properly on a boosted car at high altitudes. You should use uncorrected for sea level comparisons.

Off to bed. Be back to check in tomorrow! I better see some vidz of that thing on the street when I get back by tomorrow LOL jk. Enjoy the car and stay safe out there :thumb:
 
SAE corrects for atmospheric pressure. A wastegate set for 30lbs will make 30psi at sea level or 6000'. The turbo makes up for the missing atmospheric pressure. Therefore the SAE correction is incorrect because it is assuming that it is a non turbo motor.
 
in the end it dose not really matter what number i put down on the dyno my trap in the 1/4 mile will also prove as to how much power is really getting put down

You are not you dyno number LOL

661hp is my uncorrected number

Say's SAE at the top of the computer screen:confused:

I'll have to agree with you on the dyno vs track debate. Track and e.t. is where it matters most:thumb: Other then you who, is the highest on the dyno for a 420a? Really need to see what they dynoed along with their correction factor and elevation in order to make a fair comparison and make the record official.
