Drove the car to Lincoln yesterday........Yes I did say drove A couple of guys were going to dyno and tune there cars. Almost like a miny meetI put the car back on the dyno for a couple of pulls to just see what the changes might be for numbers. Changes were
1 Bigger exhaust
2 100 octane gas
3 no Knock sensor
4 new tranny with non locking TQ converter
Car pulled clean and made 339 HP and 387 TQ with its present boost. Im sure the converter is loosing me TQ on the dyno. On the other hand when comparing my new sheets to old sheets I see the TQ band is way higher and extends over the course of the pull vs a huge spike and dropping off off like an eaton. Still have some unanswered questions. And car is not tuned other than it has a fairly good AFR so Im sure there are still tweaks that could be made. I am discussing options with my tuner and will decide where to go from here based on his recommendations. While I want to get good numbers from my combination before the Shoot out, it probably will not get me the numbers I want and I will have to wait for a better foundation for the whipple to shine. We will see
