I'll post up a summery, #'s, and write up tomorrow.


Stay tuned...
^i can vouch for the exhausted statement - i got there at 9am and stayed til 9PM! - and you guys were still waiting to dyno two more cars!!

great session though and i feel crappy for having to go early and miss phil and shane's dyno. i really would've liked to get that on film.

-anyways, as some of you will probably wonder real soon. - pictures will be uploaded when i get back home from work at around 4pm today -the vid's will take some time because i'm going to see if i can do some rough editing before posting it up - so as Jedi said: "Stay tuned..."

Man that was a long day --- but fun! Got there at 9am, but left at 7pm (semi-long drive home). Ray was definately busy with the cars that kept on rolling into the back bay. Couldn't even keep up with Jeff with all the tuning he was doing. Yoshiya! That guy's like the Energizer Bunny --- don't know how he does it.

Can't wait to see all those pics, Atilla!

You don't want to know.

That dyno was out of wack. Not calibrated?

The point is our cars were tunned and we all made gains.

Many of them liked the stock AP maps from MM.

Rest assured for NA applications and using the MM directions it is plug and play. Your engine will be safe for the street.

Hats off to MM and Charles. Just wish I had the money to do some cooling upgrades since Ray was there.

I believe all cars recieved a slight improvement in tunning, some recieved majors. Like me!

We got 16hp plus improvement! Jedi got ~20hp improvement.

You should see what the AP can do... It took a broken FI car ( irtommy )and improved it greatly, however the car still had other issues like ignition.

Konig don't base your numbers on that crap dyno.

I'll kick your **** any day in a straight line.

Get real...... Auto trans with 20hp less getting 36 more hp to the rear wheels.

You actually believe that dyno was calibrated correctly?

Sell your Fing 8 and Get an Auto if you believe that sh*t.

That dyno was reading over 65 hp less than a dyno jet. That's way too much.

Other Mustang dynos have shown RX8 at 145 to 156hp stock!

While our average was 130 to 135

I believe that Razz should be pulling greater numbers than everyone else on the dyno. I agree with Razz, Mustang Dynoes are crap, next time, we need to do it on a DynoJet.

Jedi got ~144 the black 8 after him got 148.

No way an Auto is going to get 35 plus more HP to the rear wheels when it starts with 20hp less.

That's a 23.83% increase over the average 130.5.

remember the numbers don't count.. It's the tuning!

After being in my car John, are you going to tell me that Blue RX8 is going to kick my *** with 37.1 more HP?
You would be in the 13's neck and neck with EVo's in that stock Auto RX8 w MS intake and exhaust car.

i believe the numbers were consistent except for the 160 auto. didnt he get 160 and then get around 130 the next two runs? if he did then it seems like a fluke.

but i agree something may have been off with the dyno...

i would have accepted your challenge if you let me know there haha! it would be nice to compare acceleration btwn our cars.

either way, i got the highest =D

i was the one who got 148 on the dyno. i was also the only one with a midpipe so that was probably why!
