Re: 9-25-03... Dynoing Dragula next week Awesome, cant wait to see the dyno numbers!!!
Do you by chance have a running cost total of the build up?! Would be interesting to see the total cost of a FI car done the right way.

Re: 9-25-03... Dynoing Dragula next week Looks like Kevin Z. has broken the sacred rule of asking how much performance parts cost. 
I am hoping for over 650rwhp, that would tell me that the car is headed in the right direction.
Not sure how loose the converter will be.

Re: 9-25-03... Dynoing Dragula next week DOH!!
Do I have to put my nose in the corner for breaking the sacred rule!
I cant help it, I am addicted to this stuff!!
My baby was in a car wreck and my shoulder got mess up bad enough to have surgery next week. So I am planning on having some money to mod my baby when its all said and done with.

Re: 9-25-03... Dynoing Dragula next week I'm looking to split Rob Raymer and Harlan's wigs from ding to dong with Dragula so instead of a 10 psi setup I went to 20 psi.
I have a turbo 400 now so I do not have lockup. But we can guesstimate off of the torque too... If the torque is around 700 ft lbs that would be great.
We're not sure the TR6's will like 20 psi, so I got a set of TR8's which was Znines' idea. (Chris from SS Racing)

Re: 9-25-03... Dynoing Dragula next week Can't wait to see how it all turns out John, my beast should be on the dyno tomorrow, so maybe I will have some interesting #'s to post before the weekend..
Good luck, maybe I might stop by to watch the whole process and snap a few photos...

Re: 9-25-03... Dynoing Dragula next week I always herd you should aim low when trying to determin what kind of numbers your hoping to lay down. Always hopes to keep disapointment down.
You dont think that th-400 is going to suck up too much h/p?. I know they take alot of h/p to operate but I know also there pretty much bullit proof.

Re: 9-25-03... Dynoing Dragula next week Yeah I have never run TR8's before but I never had potentially 18-22 lbs of boost either.
We'll see what happens on the dyno.
Chris, if the converter flashes to 5500 or below I'm happy.
