380

Knowing my luck and my cars, you're probably spot on :)

[Murlo26]

At least at 380whp you won't break anything :)

I think 430whp (your goal) should be easy, but I am a nub.

I was thinking about it some more.

According to DW their pump is good for 600whp on MAP's dyno @ 14v and at 15.75v mine was about at the limit, so 600*(15.75/14) = 675whp @ MAP /1.15 (convert to DB dyno dynamics) = 586whp, I think if I can get about that I will be happy. If not, I will just list the car for sale, it's no fun anyways.

Ricer math ftw. I'm doing the same calculations on my Weldon. :\

Ok, doing boost control testing I'm getting some inconsistencies--I'm trying to get it sorted. So glad I have e85 so a little more boost doesn't hurt a thing, and I obviously have enough fuel now with the BAP turned all the way up, and I even leaned the fuel map out a little :D This is ~33psi to just shy of 7000rpm tapering to 28 at 8500. Go 'lil BBX GO!

Again, different starting RPMs!

Earlier today I mentioned to Hughes that I should upgrade the fuse for the fuel pump from a 20a to a 25a or 30a...prolly not a bad idea right? On the way home from Wagner's tonight sure as shit, it blew and I coasted into robbinsdale. I swapped in a 30a when I got home :)

Did I mention I'm having a blast getting the car dialed in? 4th gear the car just fukin rips!

When were you dynoing?

[Murlo26]

Wow, looking great Scheides! Can't wait to see it fully tuned up :)

[scheides]

Weds.

[Matt D.]

Looks great! I forget, is this logging a wideband or narrowband O2?

[scheides]

Narrowband, LOL yea right!

Wideband fo sho.

To be clear, the boost just happened to go this high, my goal is to keep it right around 30. It was a good test of the fuel system though, so I am happy with it.
