Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Dyno and Drag Well, Ricky's on his way to the dyno...

He's got the 42# injectors running well with the new Pro-M 75mm MAF, Apexi set on zero all across the board and seems to be running perfect for the trip to Cerra's. He says right now, without any tuning and running 9 psi, the car breaks them loose in 3rd in the mid-upper revs!!!! He's scheduled to be on the dyno at 10 AM and will call with the first round right after he spins it down. EXCITED!!!

Isn't he going to break the engine in? I can't wait to see the #'s. Post as soon as you know. YEAAAAAAA!

I cant wait to see this.

I say 350 whp and 275 wtq.

I say 320hp.

Breaking the engine in was one of the reasons he didn't make it to last weeks meet. The MAF calibrated to the 42# injectors was also late getting here. We used my old 17# injectors (cause the 42's wouldn't idle at all) with Vortech's FPR to drive around town with to get a few miles on her and make sure all other plumbing was working without leaks, but he had to keep it under 5k to keep it from running lean. The engine was assembled "loose" (towards the outer limits of spec) to ease break in (under the advisement of HMS, this works well with boosted applications to speed top ring seat in as well). He should have around 500+ miles pretty easily and be ready to hit the dyno hard today with the 42's and the MAF keeping fuel demands in check. The oil pressure sender unit for his aftermarket oil gauge began to fail last night, that gave him a bit of an increased pulse when he saw it go from 70 psi to 0, then flicker a bit!!!

I'd say you guys are close with guessing the first round of numbers, but we've got more to do to it before SZ. If Rick wants to, we'll report the numbers after he's been tuned today too... but for now, all you guys are going to get are initial numbers. :p

Hurry up already! Yer killin' me Smalls.

It's only 9:26 central time here. You've got minimum a half an hour wait... Can you handle it? :p

No I can't! I just realized you are an hour behind before you posted that. :p

Man, every time the phone rings this morning I think it's him... I've got to go pee so bad I can taste it, but I'll be damned if I'm going to miss that call!!!

Come on!!!!

*is waiting*
