Joined in at a NICO club meet over the weekend at Trackmasters in Huntsville, AL. Had a great time..........

Here are a couple of pics of them strapping down my clunker.........



Here is the vid of the first run before tuning. It got 198whp and 187 ft lbs of torque @ 11psi. It was sooooo piss rich it didn't even show up on the afr graph, which was below 10.http://smg.photobucket.com/alb...2.flv

Here is the 2nd run with first tune. It was around 205whp at 11psi, still piss richhttp://smg.photobucket.com/alb...5.flv

And finally the last run with more tuning, which netted me 211.11whp and 197.36 ft lbs of torque @ 13psi and the afrs showing just under 12http://smg.photobucket.com/alb...6.flvI think with a little more dyno tuning I might be able to squeeze out a little more.....but for now, I'm pretty pleased.

I did 6 dyno runs and 5 of those was with tuning..... The dyno sheet only shows the first and last run..

Good to hear you finally got that thing to a dyno! It's important to know where you car's tuning stand and now you know. But great power from the little engine and even better, you didn't blow it up. Congrats..........

Nothing special..............3" mandrel from turbo back with split chamber o2 pipe, t25g, Apexi intake, front mount ic, front mount oil cooler, ngk ix plugs, walbro 255, and s-afcII. Thats about it.As far as seeing where full boost hits on the graph....can't on the one I got, but I have seen a dyno sheet somewhere that did show boost on the graph.
