The number of grams per millivolt is pretty high at that point, but I guess since the load calculation is already maxed there, just keeping the AFR at 11:1 or richer is all we can ask for.
Of course, at 4.8 volts on the MAF, you are already past the 400 crank HP mark.

Funny Side story, the in house tuner thought we should run 26 degrees advance at 16 PSI cause it works for his 240....

Uh, riiight.

Ok - one last funny story from today.

I was on the highway trying to verify my dyno tune worked the same on the road (IAT changes).

There was a 370Z who thought I was baiting(/whatever you kids call it) him so he rolled next to me and punched it - since I was at 45 MPH in 6th gear due to slowing down and the speed limit was 65 I figured what the hell....I wrecked him to 70ish...in 6th gear. I never even downshifted.

I love my car.

You gotta tell line up with them, yell out about how you got a turbo and you only have 220 whp, then smoke them.

Afterwards, when they call BS, show them that sheet

Good points - also porting works... I got a 30 HP bump from 5000RPM on vs a factory 8 motor...

I do like stuff!!!!

BTW, when you get a better-flowing midpipe how soon do you suppose your turbo may start "spooling", then?
LOL - touche ************!

If my turbo spools any sooner... I am going to have to adjust my BC - as of right now it is instant form any RPM higher than 2000.

Come on down man - bring Michelle - Kimi misses her anyways. You guys never needed me around to party anyway!

I guess it's okay since we are both bald bastards.

When we have the midpipes ready to roll you and me will discuss bringing it and a flywheel out for an installation.
Well since they didn't have an RPM Pickup they couldn't do a torque graph....ghey.

However, unlike most 8's my HP curve was the normal 45 degree slope up to about 5000RPMS or so (90 mph), and then jumps up almost vertical and goes back to the normal 8 slope until 8000 or so.

Thanks for reminding me...too bad I have to wait a year.
