Took a trip to dtm. 5 hour drive and arrived at 9:30 am. long story short, got on the rollers and found out my fuel pump was dying.Brian, being the awesome person he is, cleared his day out for me to get the car running right. He ran me to the parts store, took me to intense racing to buy a pump. Introduced me to the owner John Rucker, and the guys helped me swap the pump into the basket & gave me some free intense stuff to wear. Then Brian bought me lunch at subway too! 100% stand-up good guy & this is the reason I travel to him to tune.
We got on the rollers and tuned it in on a 3.0 inch pulley. I only made 338 to 343 in horses thru the pulls. Initially, I was pissed, (bc ive added a gen v, roller rockers and ported heads since) & only gained about 8 peak horses. but after comparing my lasy dyno to this one, i noticed a huge difference. I averaged around 20whp more through the first 60% of the powerband. And at some points of the lower-mid range, i made almost 30 more whp!! also torque was at least 20 pounds higher everywhere in the graph.
I started to see valve float at 6000 rpm, so the shiftpoints weren't raised & i didn't run a lot of boost. I plan to get a set of 130# springs and run more boost next time. Hopefully, that will help put my peak horses where they should be.
