Default LAPD's Dyno Rocks!!!

I just wanted to thank Shawn and their "tuning Guy" for their expertise on the Dyno!!!!

LAPD's Dyno has always been dead nuts when it comes to consistency and accuracy...

I'll post more about it later, but I have put in a Surge tank using a in line pump. I have a little more testing to do, but everything seems pretty good right now. We made 10 pulls, the last 5 of which where all within a few HP of each other. With the Meth and 2 heat exchangers, there is not real heat soak issues on the dyno.

we had to dial in the new pump and make a few adjustments to the Alky mix.

once again C...... worked his magic on the dyno and got me right back in the 625-630 RWHP range, and 560ish RWT.
My A/F is a perfect mid to low 12s until we get to around 4500, at which point it hovers between 11.9 and 12.1.
Very safe, considering I'm using Torco and Meth injection. Not a hint of knock with 24 degrees of timing and 11#s of boost!

Thanks Again Shawn!!!!

JB
