hell yeah man! The car is going to feel WAY different with the stage kit. You're gonna love it no doubt. Now you'll just need a real tune to really wake that baby up..

me? lol

weak sos.. i'm not holding boost for some reason .. i was peaking at 8.9 psi at 5k then falling off for the next 2k rpms.. i should've been making around 12-13 psi at redline ..

i made 242 whp and 236 wtrq .. (so about 260 wtrq and 268 whp on a dyno jet) i was making peak whp before 5252.. that should tell you there is something wrong lol however.. that being said.. i still was making 40 or so more wheel torque then my orginal dyno .. and thats basically at the same psi as my original dyno lol

jessy was saying it looks like is should've hit 280 or so whp on their dyno if i actually held boost .. oh well.. gotta fix the car.. then go back again.. that being said .. i might not be going back till i have the zzp valve springs .. and revving out to 7500 muhahahaha

it was a sad day .. for numbers but thats ok .. i put a whooping an an ss balt on the way home. (i'm going to think it was an sc and for his sake stock).. because i pulled a good 3 or more cars on him lol

Yeah that sounds about right. Just be prepared for how loud your exhaust will be with a header and dp, especially a catless dp. Let me know when you plan on hitting the dyno. I can recommend a couple good shops if you need.

Hey nice lookin car btw. What suspension setup are you running?

Damn so it was kind of a bust dyno day, first with the knock issue and then your boost issue. At least your exhaust got fixed haha. When are you doing the valve springs? I'm sure you will be able to find a dyno day around so you can get it run for a good price.

When I left it was all traffic the whole way back (91S) so i barely got into 4th gear the whole trip.

**** traffic was so bad that night that Kyle and I said **** it, and pulled off somewhere in Hartford to get some food and wait it out a bit. We didn't get out of the shop until sometime after 5 so the freakin traffic was JAMMIN.

All in all it wasn't a total bust though. Without the dyno pulls he would have never known he was having problems like that. From what he could tell it was running great on the way up there for the most part (aside for some minor tweeking). I do plan on heading up there again in the near future though. Jessie is really a good guy to work with.. even if his dyno broke our hearts.. lol

yea exactly though the numbers hurt it was definitely nice to have their help..

and yea the car felt great.. I knew it had more power then before becuase the wheel rips out of my hands lol in second and 3rd lol and i was right i do have more power.. it's just not holding it like it should..

i'll fix it though.. and hopefully i'l be hitting 13 psi like i hoped lol

i'm going to get the valve spring install priced out and then I might get them installed soon.. i'm going to try to get the b oost leak fixed .. then the valve springs installed.. then hit the dyno again.. i'll be hitting up TK.com again.. great price.. great guys to work with/ talk to .. and well though the dyno broke the hearts.. it's so much fun destroying someone .. and having only 240 whp lol

I would def be down for another meet there, and I want to get my car on the dyno, just to compare to the dyno jet I did last year. My buddy with the SI told me he wants to get a base line dyno done as well (he got the mod bug after coming to the pike that time lol) , so we will have a few candidates next time. Not to mention that huge parking lot area behind the building would be perfect for a meet.

do you dyno with the hood open or shut? Since you have the ram air maybe it will make a difference

well jessie from turbo kits said they could do a dyno day .. 10 people would be the most he'd feel comfortable doing in one day .. so that way everyone can feel like they aren't rushed/ get their monies worth

i'm getting the specifics as to cost.. with and without an O2 readout.. and soon i'll make a thread solely for it .. it would have to wait a bit for me to do it as i'm busy as hell till the end of may but i think that would be best for everyone probably to give a bit of time
