Made about 10 hits on the dyno today. Each one going alittle farther. Last pull it made 1352rwhp at 15psi, 3.6:1 A/F and conserative timing at this point( I think the timing was 24 degrees or so), the plugs looks like it definitely needs more timing.

First few pulls it was 4.0:1 air/fuel, kept adding fuel and it finally was a nice 3.5:1.

some of the pulls
958-5500rpms-10.2psi
1102-6500rpms-13.5psi
1268-7400rpms-14.2psi
1352-7800rpms-15.1psi

Congrats, incredible power at that psi. How many gallons of fuel did you go through?

How did the iat look compared to before with gas and the ic? Better or worse? Power looks to be very good, how much earlier is the tq coming in compared to before, curve look a lot wider? The tq curve improvement, and tq curve improvementis what made my decision to take the route with the bbc, alot wider/ fatter curve and less weather adjustments needed,

The tq curve improvement, and tq curve improvementis what made my decision to take the route with the bbc, plus the consistancy without adjusting for weather as much, makes for less work. Also are you draining the aluminum cell all thd time or did you go to a plastic one?

The power curve is broader alot of it is because it will make boost faster but the fuel is also helping

IAT before were 50s, now they are 180-195 at 14# of boost

Curious what the iat in the intake runner is vs the charge piping after the methanol hits it... I know it's not uncommon to see moisture/ frost show up on the outside of n/a intakes after a run...

yeah...measuring IAT in the charge pipe is pretty much useless when chemical intercooling at the injectors

I asked and was hoping a probe made it into one of the runners.... Not sure if anyone has tried that but it would be interesting data to see

Be nice info to have, and track as the power level increases/boost generated heat increases, see at what point the chem. intercooling is no longer effective if it hits that point.

Blown Alky cars (the badass cars just below the fuelers) don't run intercoolers...I'm sure he'll be just fine

Our pro mod would ice up the injector hat and have condensation on the manifold on hot humid days.

No need to explain the benefits, well aware, even with na stuff it's worth it if your rules allow.

Made the decision to switch the MSD 8 box for a Pro Mag 44 Ignition. Its the last piece that I am not 100% happy with. With the right parts it should be a bolt in affair. Going to use an RCD Magneto drive, MSD Mag 44(CW) with the pro cap and get a couple plug wires from firecore to replace the short ones.
