    Here's the next dyno. This is running 87oct and tuned.
    HP is decent, but torque is better!
    What you'll feel when you hit the gas is the 20+tq across the power band.

    Max Torque increase is 20tq at max torque.
    Max HP increase 11hp.
    The most notable thing is, power has increased across the entire power band with 87oct

    Dyno results Tuned:


    (note: the a/f gauge isn't hooked up and doesn't interface with the dyno computer)

    Ok, next dyno.

    Not much to write about. We added a UPD cold air intake.
    This setup utilizes the stock bottom air box. We cut a hole in it to allow more air to enter, than what the fender allows.

    HP gain is typical. Added 5hp.



    Next: Cam was installed today 03-18-09.
    We'll dyno it tomorrow then install the longtube headers, then dyno once again.

    If you guys are interested, we're installing a 3600 yank converter as well, we'll compare the hp loss when this is added.
    Even though hp decrease is expected, 0-60 and 1/4 mile times will improve signficantly.

    Stay Tuned,
    allen
