Default Huge thanks to Slowhawk
Just have to say thanks again to Don for staying late on a friday to help get my car squared away for the track on Sunday. We got some pretty good results out of her!

Previous NA #'s were - 411hp/377tq
New NA #'s are - 434hp/408tq (added FAST intake and 42lb injectors)

All #'s are corrected and on a Mustang Dyno. Weather corrections today actually brought these numbers down from there uncorrected values.

I don't have old spray #'s, but the new ones are

519hp/532tq the bottle pressure started at 1000psi but trailed off to about 850psi by the end of the run.

I am going to the track this weekend shooting for some NA times and maybe if I can get the bottle's filled, some new times on spray, if they don't kick me out...

Hey I talked to you yesterday when Don was tuning my Yellow vette. Nice results from the FAST. I might have to get one to tip my car over the 400 mark. I still can't believe 399, what a bitch. Good talking with you. Kevin

Wow strong numbers for that dyno


Most stock ls1s usually put down less than 300whp on that dyno.

Backed it up at the track, drove it off the trailer and ran a PB on motor of 11.78 at 115 with a 1.67 60'.

I didnt get to spray it as i didnt feel like getting booted.

Huge difference. It also picked me up huge at the track, previous NA best was a 12.3, although that was not an all out NA run, but it was the best i had runbefore the fast. I am at roughly the same mph, but i think the slicks are causing me to lose a little bit of mph too.

I hear they are about as good as the ls6, roughly.

I can see nice gains coming from that intake especially on a LS2 car. I really want to get one on my car.

That was quick... I know who to call when it's time for a new clutch and I want to do it in record time on jack stands!

Good luck Anthony!
