I took my car to CV yesterday and with siemens dekas, pwr cooler and cat back zorst we got 255rwkws at 8psi, I'm happy with that, and it's got a bit more in it before the valve springs go in..

Remembering how fat your AFR's were, And attending the Nizpro dyno demonstration day PROOVED that running AFR as rich as yours is looses power/torque.. Go back to him and get him to retune it closer to .85 Lambda (12.44afr).. You will pick up a massive amount of torque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 9m 14d Posted 21/08/07 07:34 AM Share Posted 21/08/07 07:34 AM (edited) I had a run with a 300+kw BA Sedan !!!AUTO!!!! and my MANUAL kept side by side with it, I was mighty chuffed!! Might have been a different story had I actually been driving my car, ohhh yeh you ran me with slipping 3rd gear to But it goes to show how good your tune is, because you wouldn't have been in eye sight of my car with that HPF "race tune" you had before. Ohhh yeh before everyone else jumps on board and wants a tune. GET IN LINE, 17psi boost spikes thanks to a wastegate port that is not big enough and a tune that needs to be sorted is coming first before all you others out there Edited 21/08/07 07:37 AM by Fat-Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
