Video the dyno pulls! I love hearing that beast Idel! Is this build for the street and strip,...or just the strip?

Also, can someone explain what and how a megasquirt unit works,..is it for racing only, can you run them for the street, are they hard to build or install,....Thanks

This car is strip only. Megasquirt can be used for street as well though I have 1.8t powered 1990 vw Jetta running ms2 with an add on board to make it fully sequential fuel and spark its put down 300fwhp. Also have a prerunner off-road ford ranger with a Lexus sc400 quad cam v8 with a th400 running ms1 v3.0. Megasquirt is the best bang for the buck for stand alone efi hands down.

Just finished tuning on the Dyno. It made 665rwhp 582tq @15psi. She still has more left in it but didn't want to get greedy. Pics and video to come.

No it was falling off just a little bit (almost 1psi) in the higher rpms you can see it in the lower graft in the pic of the dyno chart.
