well after installing my intercooler last month i went to get it dynoed to see if my af's were still good, turns out i am way to rich 8.5's to 9.0's all the way thru to 6000 rpm. i guess the tuner said that alone is killing me 50 horses.
next i lost about 4lbs of boost from vegas to here. So i guess i got 6lbs and i lost 2lbs thru the intercooler for a total of 4 lbs all together. this seems a bit odd any of you guys expirience this as well? Any ways the tuner said the fuel is there so i need more boost so i ordered a 12lb pulley slapped her on and went to the track the most i saw was six lbs. and it falls on its face around 4500.
my best was 1.7 60 13.9 at 100.1

las vegas elevation was 2028 and here it is 4699. quite a difference.
i guess the tune is good it's just putting fuel where the boost lacks. i had a bad day of racing blew the elbows, i need to get t-clamps and get the piping ends rolled. my alternator stopped charging so maybe thats why it fell on its face not enough juice? funny though it is charging right now? i bet them spark plugs are`fouled now too.
at the dyno it was deppressing to see low numbers. i need to get the chip reflashed and the a/f's fixed through out the rpms especially my power band. i got more boost and more fuel then in vegas and i lost 80 horses.
i guess either i get a wide band af reader that has software capability and check it my self or go back to the dyno. tournaments are starting already and test n tune days are not any fun.
