This is worse then buying a car! I am waiting on my car at the tuners today from the intercooler install! They just called me and they got my inj. installed, new fuel filter in, blower pulley swap along with a new belt! They were just about to put the car on the dyno and wanted to double check what fuel was in the car, 93 of course:nice: Cant wait, I hope they got all the fuel system bugs worked out from before!!!!! It is killing me to get the new numbers. Not sure what pulley they put on, I told them to use thier best judgement becuase I didnt need a car that was on the fine line of blowing up haha. I gave them a 3.3" pulley and a 3.12" pulley. We shall see, I know they said its about 2 hours on the dyno. So fig. lunch time in the middle, hopefully will be done with good news this early evening! I cant frikin wait!!!!!!:flag:
 
Well I called the shop a little before 5pm and they said they hadnt put it on the dyno yet because they had some other cars they needed to get done. So I am guessing it will be tom. unless they are there pretty late tonight.....Im pretty sure it will be in the 400's as it was 380/355 before, just not sure how far they are taking it. I still want a motor with no holes in the block for a little hahahaha
 
Well numbers are in finally! Nothing crazy amazing, but its a safe solid car now! :rlaugh:

400rwhp/391rwtq

Previous was 380/355

Over the entire board the car picked up like 30 horse throughout the entire range and in some cases almost 40 ftlbs of trq! Didnt drive it much, just around the block a little and feels so much better. Holy Monkey balls the bypass is LOUD! But it makes me grin ear to ear though! I think at idle also the "whine" is louder haha.

Shop had installed my 42's and 3.12" pulley and a new belt. At 6300 they hit 100% duty cyclye agian, but car is safe. Told me to keep it to 6100rpms at most. Fine by me! Car was still pulling hard up top as the 400 was at 6100 rpms.

Cant wait to get to the track, not sure when, but soon enough!

Also, they datelogged temps and it never got agove 100* ambient temp!

Timing is really safe! Like 15.5* up top. He said he could put more, but wanted to keep it really safe with no worries. In a "hot" tune it woulda made 20+ more horse easy he said. But I would rather have a save happy car for right now.
