    pretty sure Jim refers his customers to another shop and they do not post rpm vs road speed on their charts

    Gtx3576R.

    we are yet to see any boost vs rpm data though
  3. it's called a security bond and yes last I heard the rental was minimal if you purchased a set of springs but had to pay the security bond which would be refunded when returned
  4. Shockworks will not recommend to go to low as it upset suspension geometry
  5. we do try to keep people happy but reality is it may not happen due to many reasons whether trying to get internet type numbers from a bad set up, running 95 octane and expecting 98 power etc or sometimes just don't like each others personality, but any feedback from him or anyone who deals with us is appreciated so we can improve what we do
  6. heat will affect the power even on 1 dyno run, especially if running higher boost in the midrange
  7. what sort of car? will not hold that boost level intercooler will be a weak point
  8. they are not Siemens, they look like they are a Bosch EV6 injector, but Bosch have their number moulded into the side of the injector, there were some copy 968's a while back that had no number moulded on them, but they are a different color
  9. yep, we all live in a perfect world don't we and the heads do need reconditioning from time to time and should be part of a proper rebuild, a patch up is a patch up, no matter who tries to convince us it's a full rebuild
  10. a patch up job is not a complete rebuild, an engine builder may dummy fit the engine 3 or 4 times before final assembly, there is time involved getting things to the correct thousands of an inch
  11. yes, running any length of time with a warning light on can lead to an even emptier bank account, turning it off at the fist flicker may have saved you thousands of dollars
  12. Not going to include the head, timing chains etc?
  13. Driving with no oil pressure will normally totally destroy the engine and you will most likely need more than a short as there is a good chance that the head and cams have been destroyed
  14. Fudging numbers may fix one area but have adverse affects in another, maybe ok for a race car or dyno car but not ideal for a street car But there may be an answer coming, I can not and will not say anymore, whether to confirm or deny
  15. Afr will change with intake temp and coolant temp, fuel temp can also be a factor, peak engine torque is closer to around 4700 rpm on most of these motors
  16. Even changing timing affects emission readings
  17. have you spoken to the current tuner and given them a chance to rectify what ever is wrong?
  18. 7 psi is not stock and the overboost protection may be cutting in, if it's stock, if it's tuned you need to find out what it was tuned to and whether it is the same configuration
  19. speed limiter shuts the throttle gradually from what I have seen and it would be at stupid speeds on the street
  20. abs is normally disabled after a small amount of time on a dyno due to the control module thinking the front sensors are faulty. Was the car datalogged to make that assumption?
  21. Also thinking actuator is not the same as many places sell what they say is a stock one but is heavier
