Spring Dyno Day Results and Pics!

The knock display on your SAFC is about useless.

I never said the sidemount was an issue. I'm keeping it. I never have had a problem with it even when it's hot out. Actually I ran most of the summer a couple years ago with no intercooler at all (just to see how it worked) at 20PSI with 95 degree temperatures outside with no problems.

Didn't have a problem or didn't know how bad your intake temps actually got :D

Didn't have a problem or didn't know how bad your intake temps actually got :DDidn't knock, but yeah you couldn't even touch the piping from the turbo to the TB. No knock is no knock and nothing ever happened to my engine. E85 is awesome.

The knock display on your SAFC is about useless.I know that the actual number shown doesn't correlate to anything, but from what I've seen if the number doesn't go up more when going higher on timing, leaner AFR, more boost, or higher outside temperatures -- you should be good knock wise. Especially since OBD2 logging sucks so much.

Pretty sure a 98 GSX with like $5000 in it beating those cars is putting money to good use.

To be fair you did dyno in fwd which means you cant really compare your numbers to the awd cars. I would imagine you would be right in with the rest of the pack in awd mode, around 300awhp.

Perhaps Shane can chime in.

You wouldn't beat me Jrohner, and i only $4k into my car.
lol

You didn't dyno and I'm pretty sure your car is in pieces right now; no need to start bench racing wars :D

I think we need to bring back the call-out thread....

The Saab calls out the WRX ;) But I think 2 people have to be in the WRX to be the "handicap".

LOL I'm sure Janelle would give it a try! She raced xfactor trying to gain some, as she called it, "street cred" :)

If you have a 1G, like your name suggests, it shouldn't be too hard to have $4000 in it. My 1G I have like less than $1000 in.

For some reason, people thought that SRT4 was so great though -- that's fwd. It showed almost identical torque as my car, but to me it looked like it could've been just from a boost spike, because the torque dropped a lot right away, and I think that was before the tire blew.

I think only 7 of us broke 300hp actually. I would like to know about how much mine would be in awhp -- it can't hardly have more than twice as much power loss to awd as fwd can it? Also I wouldnt have spun the tires if i was in awd -- so that wouldve helped some (also wouldve then turned up the boost a little more). When i turned up the boost, my hp curve dropped like a rock after 5-5500 because of wheel spin -- I actually showed less power above 6 grand with 24psi than with 21. It was very obvious watching the car that it was spinning -- not the clutch slipping or knock. I was happy with 380lbs of torque, but was hoping for 365hp (but with more boost than I ran). I don't know if it matters much or not but, my downpipe is only 1 3/4" at the front, and my manifold & o2 housing are untouched also.
