Gauges (Autometer dual pod, PLX gauges - the white face gauge wasn't intentional, but oh well):

You drive it yet or waiting for dyno and tune?

Haven't driven it yet.

Guess I'm saving it so I can get it all on video.

Dyno tomorrow at 10:30am. I let John Lee of APF drive it so he can get a feel for it while he tunes it. I want to take my time to make sure we covered all the bases. Plus, I've got this week off, so no rush.

John did say traction with the stock 275's is pretty much a joke.

Once we get the dyno tune done, I suspect I'll be doing a lot of work on the tranny tune. Hoping the new power is not too much for the torque converter. I should be OK, but we'll take it step by step.

Good things come to those who wait...

First couple of runs, close to 600. Just tweaking the boost.

I won't post final numbers till all the details are tweaked.

John Lee from APF describes it as "violent" on the road.

I also like Doc's "Ginsu knives with an attitude" comment.

Awesome. 600rwhp. is very powerfull and believe me takes a bit of getting used to.

Padre · 01-31-2012, 12:42 PM

+194rwhp so far.

We're going to try a different spring on the wastegate to tame the boost a bit.

Hey Padres, What's that cable running from the fuel rail: Is that a sensor they're using for tuning and checking fuel pressure?
