I just got back from Newtech today. Nick retuned my car for me and it drives great. Also found the torque arm was missing another bolt and we reset the pinion angle. Was also good timing as the thermostat failed, so now I have a new one.

Car made 491 rwhp and 459 rwtq.
Uncorrected numbers were 507/474

We seem to have hit the power limit of the stock MAF and lid. This time around on the dyno I did have my cats back on. I'm really looking forward to the TSP 100mm lid and MAF, as well as the FAST 102mm TB and intake. Some real good power to be found in the intake.



I'll post up the graph and vids later.

What caused the engine to break right after assembly? Were those numbers with the converter locked?

Its suprisingly easy. It doesn't like rpm below 2 though, other than idle.

Rocker came loose, pushrod jumped up, shavings went through the motor, spun the main bearings.

That sucks and it was something simple too. Good choice on removing the spoiler and ground effects. I've never liked those appearance wise and they add pointless weight.
