Hey everyone,

Well I got my car dyno tuned today. Its pretty funny watching Adam trying to type with his hand that is covered by 100ft of bandages. J/K

Anyway, I put together this vid, shows two dyno runs, I focused on the supercharger because usually that is what everyone wants to see and hear--the sound is pretty good.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/5706ad12-a9d7-4050-abfb-991c000ebcf8.htm

And since I know everyone is going to ask, the car put down 474 rwhp--but remember this is an auto, and timing is only at 17 degrees. If this car was a stick it would have put down 500. Even so, there are only one set of numbers I care about anyway--ET and MPH!!

On a side note: :tdown: the GMS coil packs are junk. And now I have proof. Earlier dyno runs were not going so well, couldn't figure out why, changed plugs and gap--same thing. Then we went back to the stock coils, changed NOTHING else, and immediately gained 60 rwhp. The GMS coils I briefly ran on my stock motor with nitrous for 2 weeks. Then I tried them here. These coils have at most 3 weeks running time. A waste of $379. I was hesitant to post this a few months back because I wasn't 100 percent sure it was the coils. Now I KNOW-- <rant off> :stfu:

Yeah, after some more mileage on the motor, I wonder what 16psi and a tad more timing will do (with 104).....

We will see about the ET's today at Irwindale....it won't be as fast as Dean's car though--hopefully I will see a 7.2X.

Congrats Paul! You have more power than me, so I won't be surprised to see you run in the very low 7's at Irwindale.

That would be nice --- but I am running saleen wheels, and alot of weight (shaker 1000--iron block), so I think 7.2X's would be cool the way it sits -- we will see.

It turns out I did have the right tune afterall--I was just confused by the menu (I am used to the SCT II). Anyway I thought the tune on the top was also the one loaded---but its not---its the one that is highlighted. I am going to run the car more but I am thinking a new converter may be coming sooner then expected......
