As of today got 357 at 12psi
So finaly got on the dyno today. Thanks to Cody at HPI and Kirk at PTR for the short notice dyno time.
So we showed up nice and prepped and ready for some tuggin. First things first, a fresh set of plugs (NGK BKR7E gapped at .028). First pull went 284hp with no vtec. So we pulled a second one and went 291 and started smokin a little. So the third one started to break up a little at boost onset and went 274. So by now we know were goin backwards. Another tug and got 271. FUCK!!! So start lookin around and cant find anything obivous. Checking the logs on Crome i did the 291 at 8.4psi and the charge temp were down in the 110 degree range. Another quick pull and its breaking up real bad at about 6k. check plugs and the look pretty dammed good. Check the cap and rotor, nothing bad. Compression test shows 225 across the board. Another pull after cooling and cleaning the cap and breaking up real bad at 6k still. So what changed, the plugs.... So i decide to throw the old plugs back in. Another tug and the car felt 10000 times better and did a slight traction loss in third gear.....hmmm.....good news. Roll into a 4th gear pull and hit 12.0psi and hit 333.6hp with sky high charge temps. Not bad for a stock block/head ls/vtec with head studs and a Holset turbo. Goes back tomorrow with 2-3 more psi of boost and cooler temps and i think i can get 370 out of her at around 14-15 psi. And i got my hand on some 22" slicks so we shall see what saturday produces.
Thank you again Reid for all your hard work.
