Default New Boost - it's a good thing!

Got a little care package from DR yesterday with a smaller pulley inside. It's good for an additional 1.2-1.6 psi of boost. It's already installed. Haven't installed the new injectors yet, but under WOT, whereas I was a bit rich before, I'm hitting high 12's to low 13's for AFR. I should be able to tune that out this weekend with the Shark Tuner.

I was going to install the new injectors too, but I don't think I'll have time with all the festivities going on this weekend, so I'll probably install the larger injectors (42#) either on Sunday or some night next week.

Can't wait to get her tuned up. The goal is 500RWHP and I'm pretty sure I can make it now.

Good Luck. We should start a boost "club". Like the 200mph club but for HP. You could have the 400hp club, the 500 hp club etc.

Andrew,

Enough already! As it is you're probably ripping branches off of trees as you pass them. Next you'll have to paint lines on your garage floor with black and yellow warnings about walking in front of the shark while the engine is running so they don't get sucked into the intake.




Fabio,

Didn't you read the tangent the 'Blackbird' thread has gone off on. Apparently if I enter the right parameters I could find myself in the 500+ club.

As it is, I'd have to start a "Beggin' for 300 hp club".

I'd like to nominate myself as the founder of the 200hp club. LOL I think my club will have the most members.

Hi Andrew,

Let's see if you can get to this event without breaking something a mile from home.

Thanks, Randy. Thanks for jinxing me!

You know last year, I had my SCer belt bust on me. Then at SITM this year the crank pulley broke. So far, this year my AC is dead... which I can live with. But to tempt the gods with comments like yours.... well it makes me wish RedUFO was here to put an Amityville curse on you.

So when you going to Grand Rapids?

Not for awhile. I will be up in Sault Ste. Marie (the Canadian one) in early September, visiting the folks.

You are from the Sault?!?!?! I knew you were a Canuck but never thought from northern Ontario.

Andrew,

Did you get your boost gauge issue figured out?

Andrew,

That's great that DR has a good support system for upgrades and your goal is quite attainable.

Where did you rent or buy your shark tuner from?
