Fuel's Winter Project: Build It Before It Blows

[jodadejss06gt]

Just for my knowledge here aside from your temp knowledge, with the power that your car makes how the hell did you do a 200 to 6200 pull at 20lb? I'm just assuming that would break sideways in 3rd and 6200 in 4th is well about high 130's? I bet that feeling brings instant boner either way though.

I was wondering about your turbo and you are probably the main reason I'm going with a 76. I figured yours was about out of gas. After you saying your IATs were creeping I'm glad I'm going larger. You think you will stay where you are now or will you go higher?

That is as high as I am going to go. The numbers in my sig were from a pull that peaked at 19lbs but was in the low 18lb range for the majority of the pull. At 20lbs for the whole pull the car should be about 30-40hp higher than those numbers, not to mention the tq. That is plenty of power for a 90% street car. Also, I am guess on that being the turbos efficiency limit from the iat rise. Dyno numbers while increasing boost from here would really tell the tale. The pull was done in third and it did break traction just for a second. I have good tires and a good stretch of road so the traction wasnt bad. Also, with all the suspension mods I have done the car really stays straight even when I do spin the tires.

I really should buy myself one of those, kind of burnt on spending money right now though.

Was just looking over my last datalog(since Manuel is slowly teaching me how to read some of it). The max boost for the log was 21.2lbs. Had just over 16lbs of boost by 3500rpm. I have to say, I really like the fact that I can datalog boost.

One thing that I wanted to do but ended up getting cut from this winters build was going return style with the fuel system. While Manuel probably wishes I would have for ease of tuning, I must say my fuel system is holding in their like a champ. It is still in the safe zone at 20lbs, which is where I am going to stop pushing.

I still have yet to activate my N2MB again. I figured I shouldn't be using the 2-step and No-lift-shift while I am trying to be nice to the new clutch. I am sure it will be a really wild ride once I set that up again.

Ended up going to Omaha today for a dyno day. Out of the 25 dynos I came home with overall Highest HP with a 742 @ 20lbs. Trying to figure out how to get a video on here since I didn't take a vid, but some of the guys there did. I will post a vid when I get one.

I gotta say, Manuel can sure work his magic! I couldn't be happier with the way the car did on the dyno AND drove as smooth as silk the 2hrs down and back!
