finally dynoed the car
Well, it all didnt go the way we planned. car had a miss I couldnt figure out on th dyno. It end up being a bad injector due to a conection problem which of course is now fixed. Ended up taking it off the dyno with a half ars tune but still manage 484hp @ 10 pounds of boost at around 6800rpm . Its not the final goal which we wont be achieving with 10 PSI anyways, but if you think about it.. almost 500 wheel HP at so little boost does look pretty good. We will be back on the dyno looking for big numbers soon.

A better title would be, "Finally, some engine output numbers worthy of this forum area"
even if they are low for that engine at 10psig, but obviously for the reason noted
I'd expect at least another 15% increase, maybe 20% ...

For once I agree with Team. 500 whp at 10 psi is definitely good. Can you post your dyno sheet? What fuel are you running and what size turbo?

congrats Angel, can't wait for additional updates.
Have we had a 500whp car on this forum before?

It wasn't the numbers we wanted so I didn't get a sheet, but the dyno is close by and I can always swing by and ask him to look it up. Car still had plenty to go still at 10psi, it was rich as a pig up top but again we desided to take it of the dyno once it started to show signs of a miss. Car is running on E85 and the turbo is a garrett GT47. 88mm

E85 is amazing. I freaking love the stuff.

I know everyone likes big numbers but I'm just curious why the GT47 20b choice? For the dyno numbers? Drag racing? Or what? It would be fairly useless on the street. At 600-700 rwhp, your already spinning the tires on the highway. At 800-900, your just spinning them more?
I pretty much don't bother boosting my GTX4202R 20b on the street anymore. Spinning tires just isn't fun to me... It's pretty much become a track (circuit) car now where I can put my 335 Hoosier slicks on. And even then, is still spinning tires in in 2nd gear...
