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. :shrug:
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.:nonono:
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.
