Need some luck.. dyno tomorrow
As all you FI guys know, this is a game of issues and theres no more time for serious issues. Still the stock PCM until BS3's tranny controller is available so I'm hoping for somewhere in the 650 range at reasonable boost and 93 octane.

On APEs mustang dyno two weeks ago it made 500 and 500 at under 5k rpm and only 55% throttle... but that was due to a disfunctional waste management system
.Thanks Fed!
Your going to love the BS3. I can't say enough good things about the crew at W2W. Hope everything goes well. What is your ultimate goal all said and done?

Maybe next time your at W2W you can get John to give me the 4l80 from his time machine cause thats the direction Im going.
Ultimately its a street car.. but I wont be afraid to drop in some 116, turn the boost up a little and see what she can do with slicks and skinnys. In reality, the kit is not really a max effort kit (stainless log manifolds) and limited air gets to the IC for the moment. The t3's and A/R (.63) are perhaps not the best for this many cubes either.
This was supposed to be a small project... you know, just bolt on a turbo type thing....cause I didnt want to modify the car too much...so it looks bone stock unless you pop the hood or look under it..thats the way I want it. I was dissapointed with my Cartek head/cam which yeilded 11.94s and wanted just a lil better. 20k later I probably picked up a bit more than my initial desires.
For the record I have the origional motor, tranny, rear, DS and tank to plop back in her when hell freezes over. Car has 20k on it. Enough to make any Poncho lover sick.
If all went as planned we woulda met at NS, but I was one of those watching the sheer determination of Tom K and the boys at APE trying to finish any of the 3 cars (mine included) APE planned to bring. Talk about tenacity. The vette was complete, but at 4am the morning of the race, we all (except somehow Tom) had about had it... we took the vette back to Albany (stopped to race in Rochester though) and slept for a day.
I should add theres a complete fuel system from tank to rails that should be up to the task (Aeromotive and Aeroquip stuff)..72lb injectors....BMR Tank.
The exhaust will be changed as it's currently 3" into a 4" Y, split back to dual 3"...with ...4 bullet mufflers and no dumps .
I cant wait to give props to all those who deserve it when the time comes.

Transdamit..its just you...I promise I aint no vamp.
Kyle..if you speak with Chris and he tells you the results, perhaps you could call me and tell me as Im curious too.
It missed the planned dyno session...evidently Evans coolant (to go with the Evans water pump) didnt get ordered until the last minute, or simply was slow to ship...either way, they now say it will be monday. We'll see. Thanks for the support.
