I'm going to dyno tomorrow, and just wanted to know of anything to get every ounce of HP out of my car. I wil play with the timing, remove my air filter, and run a short belt. Anything esle? I am only getting 4 pulls and not tuning, so it can't be anything major, and I don't have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, so I can't do that.

Thanks

Change the oil if dirty, tune up if old.

Check torque on lug nuts. I ran to 120+ on the rollers !

Haven't you been on TurboForum.NET lately? Even though you can't run, you can still come and watch everyone. It's going to be an awesome day.

Some synthetic oil may do you a couple hp's. Good luck.

Yeah I know. I dont want any numbers that I'm not going to have all the time. The short belt is permanent. I just changed the oil and added synthetic about 300 miles ago.
