Around 850 HP at 17 psi, with 14* timing. We were starting to get there, then the cops showed up, and we had to shut it down for the night.11 pm noise ordinance.

We were sneaking up on the tune up, way too little timing. It will really come alive when we get the tune dialed in.
I am predicting boost to settle around 24-25 psi.
Everything went well tonight, with the exception of the boost controller crapping out, we put a good old manual controller in there, but only was able to get a couple of pulls in before Barney Fife showed up. It is a fairly regular thing for late night dyno sessions. He was cool tonight, and actually got out of his car, and watched the last pull.

sit your purse down and put some timing in that bitch.
noise ordinance?you in a residential district?we can run dynos all night.Of course it's hard to be louder than a pair of F18's coming in for a landing

Stay tuned.......we were out of fuel this morning, but got our delivery of race fuel at lunch. As soon as we get a couple of other cars off the dyno, she will be back on the rollers.

We got it dialed in for some track time on Saturday. The boost controller crapped out, and I only had a 7.5 psi spring in the wastegate. So only 15 psi is attained. It belted out 884 rwhp SAE at 15 psi, while spinning the tires bad on the rollers, even with 4 straps in the back. It is still a very mild tuneup to get the chassis sorted out on Saturday. I am bringing more wastegate springs to the track if necessary.
