My car is back in business. RPM freshened up the transmission and took it to a level 6! Rumor has it that I could put a transbrake in it if I chose to. They also have a Mustang dyno now. So, TJ and Rodney asked if I wanted to dyno my car. Shockingly through the A4 and 9" rear end it made 430/423 NA and on 11.7:1 A/F The nitrous numbers weren't good. On low bottle pressure (825psi) it made 546/627 on 9.8:1 A/F.

Seems like Benny is done just in time for winter. My winter project is switching from Meth to air to air intercooler.

It will be nice going all winter with just some fine tuning to be finished in the spring. That's a welcomed change!

Benny Congrats on the Dyno numbers... Glad you got your car back together. Now I need to get mine back together.

I ran into a financial bind at the moment, but it will be ready for spring- thats for sure.

Also Harbaugh, Glad your keeping the Z! I was hoping you would come to your senses and keep it. lol

i think it'll be back in the 12s now, even with nitro booze.

looks good. however, a real man would've had 15x3.5s in the front and 15x10s out back..

I finally saw chad again and the car runs MUCH better now. No more 15.0 a/f's at WOT.
As for the wheels they can be changed. I do have a set of track wheels and tires for those special days! But the stock 4x4 ride height was killing me.
We all know I'm not a real man with, my baby cam, baby stall, and baby shot!

I think I finnaly am getting out of my bind... the wifey got a job it loks like (orientation next week) and I am thinking about working for FedEx or something on my days off untill the end of winter... then maybe I can get a new beater... the handle for the hood latch in the car (that pops the hood) broke yesterday on the sunturd...


Oh, I got rid of the mower..... traded it plus cash to me for a nice push mower... new owner is a friend of the family..


Benny, congrats on the numbers, with the bottle you might have your noids checked out ahd the orafices (sp?) of the noids and jets checked. A lot of guys are finding that from the factory they are not what they say they are and are a little off... guys get them checked and corrected and pick up quite a bit.... a few guys on YB that are making 200 shot power with a 175 ect ect by doing the above and making some jetting adjustments but still runing safe. A bunch of guys have got noids brand new that were a little off and that made it a nightmare trying to find the right jetting. Yes I realize that the bottle pressure is a lot of the problem.

+1. at least you admit it, you're already a few steps ahead of everyone else. what caused the tune to be so far off? i thought it dynoed 400+whp right before you took it to the track and trapped 106?

IMHO, I like it. It looks great in person and the lowering springs really set it off. BUT like I said...It's up to you with what you want to do. lmk!
And No Problem with helping you change the Springs, even though I almost gave up lol!
They were 2 Bit(hes and A ****! LOL

I'm not really sure what happened. I am going to guess his wide band was off when I got tuned.
It did dyno that but didn't run for **** @ the track. It feels 100 times better now so hopefully I can hit the 13s. There are a few people that can attest it runs much better including greenwood pd.

Thanks for the kind words and nice welcome. Hopefully I can be of service to you guys in the near future.

As far as installs with customers parts go I do it on a case by case basis. In most cases and cam and spring swap with a full chassis dyno tune runs $900-1000. A lot will also depend on my overhead up that way with rent and insurance.

Look forward to meeting you ssmith512. I know Tony very well and I am sure he will be pleased if I am finishing up one of his units.

I use HP Tuners and LS1 Edit and really depends on the combination. Gonna have to be the NE side as my wife will be working at Fort Ben Harrison as well as we have lived in that area before and love the schools for my son. As far as traffic, you have not seen anything until you travel Orlando near downtown or Disney I always keep away from I-69 and Castleton during certain hours and remember the back roads pretty well.

I know the guys up at RPM very well also and they offered to let me use their load dyno if need be. I will be up at their shop in a couple weeks.

Thanks again everyone.

Based on that one pic, I like what I see. I would love to see more, and larger, pics to get a better look.

Bah! You guys have no idea what traffic is until you have experienced the 405 and 5 freeways in Los Angeles.
