you too. While cunningly taking your car apart last Saturday evening I discovered that your asymmetrical aero kit is indeed a KERS device that is connected to a push to pass system. Very clever.

That headlight hole that everyone thinks just puts air to an oil cooler actually is a 6' long funnel that accelerates the air into a Turbonator!

I thought it was just a standard air intake for his LS6

Turbo Encabulator. Get it correct or CWhaley will admonish you.

We richened up the mix to help and I ended up at 190 hp and 178 tq at the wheels which I think is pretty much exactly where it should be on a rebuilt engine.
10 more at the wheels than stock at the flywheel? Damn.

I wouldn't use those numbers for anything except to compare them with all the cars we dyno'd that day. Dyno's can vary quite a bit, what we were looking for is an honest comparison of 5 D class cars that were there that day along with a SPBox and some others. These engines are balanced and blueprinted and are cam timed and ignition timed to Dan Jacobs's specs. My car was out of whack with timing and injector issues, once repaired it matched Sean's and John Bare's almost exactly.

like Gary said, directional numbers but not that much a stretch on a blueprinted/dyno tuned engine (think $$$).

For comparison, when I first ran NASA I dyno'd my car with the stock 86,000 mile engine and headers at 174 hp and TQ at the wheels - basically stock crank numbers at the wheel on a from the factory engine with headers.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. I'm an advocate for a dyno at every PCA race. I'll be first in line.

I dunno. A dyno could make me feel better or worse about myself. I don't want to gamble like that. Assuming usually works better for me
