Dennis, I'm glad everything worked out as you had planned. Very nice numbers for an unlocked converter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

locking the converter on the dyno usually picks up a few horses <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You would see ~20rwhp locking your converter up. This way you can get a closer comparison to what a 6-speed car would do. Still, the 6-speed will dyno slightly higher though.

Re: TR 224 Installed Last Week

Was the custom tune done with wide-band O-2's on the dyno? I just received my TR 224 in the mail and I'm wondering about tuning and whether it can be done mail-order.
