So Bill @ Delicious Tuning is working to resolve this issue. It gonna suck driving an extra 40 minutes every time I have to fill up just to get E85 so my car runs right.

really hoping Bill gets it figured out - even on E12 I'm seeing some sputtering but it's not outright throwing codes, just doesn't sound pleasant. been babying the car everywhere I go til I see the update.

I know, and it sucks because I need to get my inspection done but every time I get close to where I can get it, it will throw the code even with babying it. So It's E85 for now until I get the inspection.

Any plans to Dyno your beast?

[Dustin]

In the process of setting a date. Just trying to find a day when I have available that they have time.

[Dustin]

Finally getting my car dyno'd this Tuesday. Can't wait to see what it puts down!!

[ModBargains]

Love what youve done man

[Dustin]

285 hp & 219 lb/ft torque and so smooth.



Stock vs mine

Great numbers. Impressively smooth graph for Smoothing of 0. Would rather see SAE and Smoothing of 5 though.

I'm not sure what that means. First time at a dyno for me. What would SAE and Smoothing of 5 show differently than STD and Smoothing of 0?

STD and SAE are two correction factors that take temp, humidity, and elevation into account to correct the horsepower/torque numbers. STD is always higher than SAE. The dyno only collects x amount of data points during the run and with the smoothing set to 0 it plots each of them and then connects a line to each point. With smoothing set to 5 it tries to smooth out the line and goes between points no different then when you plot a line in Excel and have the options of a smoothed line or not. Forgot to add that if you ask the dyno shop for the dyno run files you can go home and plot them however you want in the free Dynojet WinPEP software.

Cool, cool. Thanks for the info.

Well I trashed my first belt the other day. I was showing someone how the launch control worked and not even 2 minutes down the road I heard the belt, partially shredded, knocking around inside my engine bay. It's hard to understand why launching at only 3k RPMs would do that to a belt. I think I've only used LC like 3 times. Next time I'm gonna go with the samller Gates belt to see if that helps.

Haven't been doing much with my car. Added up how much I've spent in extras on the car since I've owned it and realized I could've paid off my truck................or my house.............or all my credit card debt............or my personal loan..........you get the idea, so I've held off any extra spending for the time being. But I started desiging a new piece similar to Perrin's steering rack lockdown. I think that should be easy enough to find some scrap material for free and try to make something nice out of it.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but where did you get the Nameless intake tube. I checked their site and even tried googling it and I couldn't find one for sale anywhere.
