Dyno day was long and tiring. :/
Mike made just over 300rwhp which was nice to see, up from 267rwhp at the last meet. Amazing what non-slipping belts will do for you.
Bill also made just over 300rwhp. Alcohol injection didn't do much for him, maybe 5rwhp, but in the end we decided that he didn't have enough boost to warrant it. He is running somewhere right around 10psi. It did seem to do a lot for consistency though because with 8 back to back runs in 90 deg heat the car didn't lose any HP tracking run after run within 3 rwhp of each other.
Steve didn't fare so well. His 1.7L AR was making 18psi but even with alchohol injection we couldn't get more than 235rwhp. There really seemed to be something holding the car back and 2 things that come to mind are 1) clogged cats, or 2) a slipped balancer. The car was running real rich for some time and may have clogged the cats but also the car is generating extreme heat. With the EEC tuner we were only able to command a max of 27 deg timing so we could not test the theory of retarded timing.
Howard put his pristine blue 89 on the rollers for a couple passes nailing a best of 246rwhp with a few bolt on's and no tune. The car was pulling 11.0-10.9 AFR's which is right where the factory commanded it. I few more HP might have been pulled out of it with a tune but he wasn't quite ready for that yet.
I guess the word of the day for this tuning session was MAC Cold Air Intakes. Man, what a pain. Everyone was pegging their meters. On Mike's car we had to run a 60lb sample tube to get enough range to run 42lb injectors.
Steve had the same intake and was also nearly pegging the 60lb sample tube with only 235rwhp.
That's about it for excitement over here. I went to get the white car dyno'd today but I got bumped off the dyno and had to reschedule that one. This car seems pretty strong with an MPI and 10% OD it will light the 255/50 BFG DR's like John Force so that's a good thing.
Maybe we get some numbers tomorrow...
Thanks everyone, see ya' next time.
