Woo Hoo!
Best run: 411.6 rwhp and 408.2 rwtq
First, I did NOT lock my TC, so that would likely add another 20 hp (but i don't run with a locked convertor anyways, so not too relevant) and drop the tq somewhat. I was happy enough with the unlocked #'s.
Second, my cutout was only good for 2 rwhp and about the same toque at peak. Maybe 5 rwhp around 6K, if that. So not much gain.
Third, I ran in third gear from ~4300 -6800 rpm. Even at 6800 rpm+ the rwhp was above 400.
Fourth, there was a line up of guys wanting to dyno, so I only had two hours. The best I got my AFR was 11.9 in lower rpms, and 12.3 at higher. So there is more to be had if I have more time, likely enough. Though the changes I made didn't gain me much. I made 9 runs and all were within 3-4 rwhp of each other. That was moving from 11.8 to about 12.3 AFR.
Fifth, getting there sucked. An accident in the tunnel, and one on the E-W connector meant it was a 2 hour drive. My car was HOT after idling in traffic for 1.5 hours. Not sayiong that robbed me anything, but it sucked anyways.
Sixth (how long is this post?), uncorrected numbers were about 430 rwhp and 415 rwtq. CF was 0.96-0.97. Nice numbers on a warm day.
Lastly, I almost fried my PCM with edit. Did my last download, went to start the car, and nothing. Dead battery. Lucky for me that there was enough juice in the car to keep power to the PCM while downloading, but not enough to crank it. That was close!
I figure a 6-speed with this similar mild set up would be about 435-440 rwhp.
Now, to figure out the beer. :D
