The torque was actually higher, I said that in my post earlier. I'd have to have Bryan explain it to me again but it was something about hitting the button at the wrong time in the run. Do you know what that means?

Don't know about Bryan; maybe it's something to do with the printout or numbers or some such on the dyno tune???

Next question: when's your next trip to the track?

To answer an earlier question, I'll probably have headers a few games into the Penn State Football season. But by that time winter will be approaching fast.

I work there as an Electronics Tech on the big screens, message displays, audio systems, and anything else the networks might need. It's cool, I get to be at all the games and get paid time and half for it.

That overtime usually buys some fun stuff.

I promise a lot better numbers this time. I learn everytime I go, I just hope this doesn't fall through or it rains. The last two times I've gone to the track I've got three runs in and it started raining. I've paid $60.00 for six passes. That sucks, you can't get a handle with three runs.

Oh and this time it should be a little easier to get the temps down with a 160 t-stat and progam to match. I plan to even add in a fan switch for between run cooling.

You numbers are better than mine by a good bit. Mine made 304 rwhp and 305 rwtq. Get some sticky tires and you should be easily into the 12's. Good luck.

PS. A bad opti will really slow you down.

If I remember correctly the actual torque was like 323, still a bit low but I'll take it without headers. It WAS more than 316 I KNOW that much.
