    NOW THATS WORTH TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!

    Might be some more powerleft in there.
    Yep, 15.7 stock, 15.4 with exhaust. 13.6 with blower.

    More power there, definitely. If I could solve the lean problem between 5k and 6k rpms, which is half of 2nd gear and half of 3rd gear.

    My replacement Apexi is supposed to ship next week. Maybe I can get that thing to dial the maf in correctly. It's cool, you can scale the maf reading based on tps and rpms, and it will interpolate between points. I had it graphing rpms, knock retard, tps, and correction percent back in early January.

      Nice times! Its good to see the powerdyne putting down some good number.

      A GTX is a GTP with functional ram air hood, SLP stainless exhuast, and 17" inch rims. I am very impressed you beat all those cars in autocross!

          Thanks! I'm very happy with that run.

          I don't know the official rating on the pulley. It came with my used kit. I measured it at 2.75"

                  I'm getting 10psi consistently. The belt could be a little tighter, but when I get 12-13psi, I go lean, so I'm ok with the 10psi for now.

                    Found out that a lot of guys had lower than normal trap speeds that day. We had a pretty good headwind all day, so they're saying that is part of it.

                        Nice times! MPH does seem low but with the headwind that would make sense. Im so jealous! I still have no 13 second slips. Was that your only run or did you get some more in? :D

                          Thanks!

                          That was my only run. A group had gotten the
                          track for the day, for autocross and drag racing. After I finished with autocross, I came over and changed tires, and then I got the one run in before door prizes and awards started.

                          We were supposed to get another 30 minutes after the awards were finished, but the track had already been paid and so they had gone ahead and started their cleanup and wouldn't let us run anymore...

                            At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                            Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
