You should, i bet youd have more usable WHP without the ASP.

<SHAMELESS PITCH>
Wait for the lightened crank pulley Kyle, Tom and I have been working on.
It's 2.5lbs. and NOT underdriven, like the ASP.
We plan to post a Dyno soon.

Sounds good man. 1 hr. to remove the manifold is not bad at all. Did you fabricate a blockoff plate for the PAIR pipe?

yup. I went to home depot to buy a sheet of metal and cut to fit the pipe. For the little vaccum pipe, I used electrical tape and tape the shidizzle out of it just for now.

I think the reason it took me so long was because of that pipe and the other pipe. Once I knew what was going on, it was simple.


Talk about having a bad back now

GSteg your suprizing me, you seem have learned a lot since you started here.

good job


Swift:

That dyno was probably as good as your going to get in with your current setup. The rich portion of the A/F wasnt extreme to the point if you lean it out you wouldnt gain massive ponnies, maybe 1-2.

Good job though

Hola. Well had my dyno done today, now I am depressed.
HP=188.3
torque=164.2.
I had mine done on the dynapack (same as Godfather).I have no mod yet (my current filter is a drop in K&N), but will have very soon. I will post pictures later. At least we now have a base comparision to work with.

I had mine in 4th. This dyno gets attached to the hub. Hopefully I get this right, here are the pictures:






Time for me to do research on what is AFR, tuning etc. I have video and pictures of car on dyno (56k, will take me a while to upload).

I am no expert....but something looks way wrong in you torque line.

With a manual tranny it should start at a steady 160 or something and stay about even climbing a little and dipping. Look at mine.

Anyways i would say do the dyno again in 3rd and at 2grand punch it until 6500rpms.

I hope to see some footage though!

Sounds about right for first time removal/install. There are just little tricks that you really can't explain on a forum, once you have those down the Air suction and EGR are a piece of cake to do.

You have some sort of restriction. Unknown. replae the intake and do a catback exhaust. If you can buy a bayou. this should clear up the torque woes and bring you to 180+lbft

Dv8, thanks for the headsup/advice. The guy who did the dyno said something about intake as well, but I was not paying much attention (too shocked by low torque). Exhaust is on the way, intake to be ordered tomorrow, and been in touch with Willie about bayou, which I should have in September. will post new dyno then.
