Looks like you got the wrinkles ironed out what does it feel like on the road ?? Need to get back on mine and get it dialed in but that is going to involve some time out from the day job !!;)

Thanks everyone.

Hey Nathan, drives just fine on the road, you'd never be concerned with it in city. First gear can be a bit twitchy on ramps and such, but you know how that goes.

Getting rid of my old General tires has really helped with putting the power to the road. When I dyno'd back in December I was concerned I had lost some power because it wasn't spinning tires anymore. But as the latest dyno proves, I'm just putting it down with better tires. Hankook Ventus V2's have been fairly good, but I do plan on going to Yokohama Avid Envigors later on.

Boost overshot just slightly, and it decided to overcorrect (more than slightly). It did it on #2 and #3 (#1 we will not speak it's name).

Looking at logs of 01, looks like fuel wasn't suffering, just dropped because boost went down.

Took a while to edit, don't know where run #1 went.

Not very good lighting for the GoPro, and the fans were pushing out the smoke so you can't really see much. Crappy video but I know you guys want it still. I'll get temporaptor to upload the front view sometime.

I have videos of a Matt-98AHU, and Temporaptor too and they were throwin' the black. Mine was nice and grey throughout.

Hell yeah! Glad to see you finally broke 200 :). I knew it was in there! Is that the highest power 1z/ahu out there now?

I know what a weather or atmospheric correction factor is, that's why I asked. The SAE J1349 standard will usually be in the order of less than 5%, and only be that high only with some pretty extreme ambient test conditions from the benchmark 25°C and 99 kPa. An example is testing on a 100°F (38°C) day. in this case, the CF would still only be 2.5%.

I don't have a pdf of the original J1349 on-hand so I can't verify the statement, but the above states that the SAE spec has an upper limit of +/- 7% anyway.

Nice bit of acceleration, nice sound and no smoke!
