Nice comparison. That is some monster torque with the new setup. That thing's gonna be a blast to cruise on. You gonna be hittin up the track when you get it back? I can't wait to see how it does. I know with your gearing/etc it's not really a "track car", but it would still be cool to see what it can do.

Thanks for recognizing that she's not setup to run optimally at the track.
With that being said I plan on hitting the track at least once maybe twice. I am going to predict 11's with one of my blazing 3 second 60 ft times. LOL. But seriously I can't 60 very well so I'll just say 11's (mid to high) and hopefully a strong trap 128+
Does that sound reasonable ??

I punched in what I know and came up with around 11.1 : 1
Not sure if the piston comes out of or stays in the cylinder, as that would effect the equation so I just assumed 0.

Thanks again Chris. The larger graph makes it look even better. Then the bottom add on is pretty interesting. Guess that degree in computer engineering is paying off. Now when are you coming out to the house to look at my computer ?? LOL
UPDATE
When I get home from work this afternoon I will be purchasing my ticket to LGM. If the ticket is still available I will be leaving Detroit on 3/18 at 7 am and arriving in Sunny/Warm Dallas, Texas at 905 am. From there its off via LGM limo (not actually a limo LOL) to the shop to be reunited with my baby. Hopefully do a dyno pull and a quick test drive, some pics, and lunch then I'll hit the road for a straight drive home. 12 noon leaving LGM and hopefully arrive at my house around 6 am on the 19th. At that time I will start a thread about the drive home, and then will need to crash. Wish me a safe flight and drive home. Going to pick up some caffeine to help with the alert factor on the way home. Will definately need it.

And have fun on the trip! Sure wish I was getting out of work for a couple days to go pickup my car with a new badass setup on it. You must be pumped as hell. STAY AWAKE!!!

For the strip Nitto DRs 305 35r18
For the street Michelin PS2's 295 35r18 rears 265 40r17 I think
I also have OE Good year run flats, and fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, I will be driving from Texas to Michigan with the runflats on her. They should keep me from feeling to courageous since I know they won't hold up to the torque this thing will make.
BTW I also drive on the street with the DRs too if I am looking for some fun. A little extra bite has helped me more then a few times.

Well I am going to have to re learn how to drive this car for sure. I'll be talking to a few people about some rear tires, and when the ps2's are balded and/or worn I will put something sticky on there. I can't do the dr's full time because of the speeds I like on the highway. They also make the rear end feel like its sliding when I go around curves. I don't trust them at speed in anything other then a straight line. If I do run the drs on the expressway I keep my foot out of it until I am pointed straight ahead. The side wall doesn't like lateral forces. May be wrong about it but its my personal opinion.

The runflats are terrible from a dig but love the curves and those stiff side walls keep me feeling stuck to the ground. No floating feeling. The ps2s stick even better, and I trust them at higher speeds (don't ask how I know)

Slowhawk, I see you are doing a 418, I was wondering if there was any chance you could do back to back testing and see what some 205's will do?
My guess would be amazing low/mid range torque that holds nicely up top as well. The port velocity with 205's would be insane on a 418. The 225's would definately pull away on the dyno, but what would happen from a dig on the street ?? I think the 205 setup comes out of the hole a little quicker, and the 225 setup has to reel him in. JMO
What kind of numbers do you think she'll make on that stingy dyno ??
What are your thoughts on opening the fast 92 inlet to 95mm's ?? I ask because of the success I had.
Thanks again for the comments. I appreciate it.
