I just back from the dyno I'm very happy will results but it was trying day and a little more expensive than I planned for. But Dave, Jason, and George from SGS went way beyond the call of duty today. More on that thought later in the post.

The car put out 665/540. That's up 93/27 from this dyno. My previous best was 572/513 at SGS. The 598/531 I ran was at big shot dyno in Columbus OH. Maybe I need go back there for a one time for a glory run lol. If I made 25-30 more I could be damn near 700 lol.

The frustrating part was the torrential down pour all the way there(212 miles). When I exited I-70 east near Hargerstown Maryland and was merging onto I-81 north I hit about 2' of standing water and sucked up a bunch through my cold air intake. Lucky it wasn't enough to lock up motor. But It immediately start missing bad. I knew the MAF was wet because I experienced it before when the MAF was on the CAI/Power Pipe in the inner fender. But now it's next to the throttle body so I knew I must have sucked up a good bit of water. I pulled over and check oil and there was not water in it. I cleaned off the MAF but after a short distance it started missing again. Well I decided to limp the last 50 miles and finally get there.

When Dave pulled off one of pipes going to the intercooler some water pours out an there's about 1/2" of standing water in it. So they proceed to remove all the charge piping. Of course everything is just soaked. So while they were at it they just re did almost all the pipes and bead rolled all of them and welded the majority. A lot neater more tucked way with less sharp bends. Plus I don't to worry about blowing them off. I don't think thet liked my coupled up ebay special lol.

Took 5 hours to get me done and dynoed and the were more than fair with the price. Even though the had to put their own projects and a couple other on hold because of the extra work.

I can't not speak more highly about their dedication to customer service and attention to detail.

I was going to go today, but the bottom bolt on the alternator came loose and ruined 2 ribs on the belt. I had to order one because no one locally carries it.


I predict 11.1 at 137-138 lol

I know I had a best trap of 130.69 with only 516 in good air. I have seen people with a KB making 650 from a well known place still trapping below 120.
