Thread: Stevo8's diary

    Default Stevo8's diary

    Some track pics from Thill 3-21-08














    So Bryan did work once again and made 312whp and 281wtq with a 10.8ish a/f the nice thing about the numbers is that it holds a minimum of 265tq from about 3500 till it hits peak tq at 6000ish and holds about 300hp from 6000-7000rpm, so it should be real easy to drive on the track. Fat tq curve with peak hp holding up top ftw.

    compression test results:
    #1 182
    #2 180
    #3 182
    #4 182

    The first tune. Mods consisted of : works 269 cams, catless TBE, supertech valve springs, modified IX bov, Bryans budget filter and boost assembly, ets 3" fmic, and samco hoses. This was on stock ic pipes, stock o2 housing and a TME. It was also on a stock wga that was pretty grumpy when Bryan tried to turn up the boost.

    I decided to delete the old journal and start over. Its all been re labeled in order and some stuff has been added....... On to today.




    So today I go to drop my car off at FIA to get the accusump installed and as I pull up I noticed a funny smell. Open the hood and the damn battery is seeping crap out the top and had already gotten all over my brand new polished uicp and screwed it all up. Earlier today I had to have bigworm jump start my car cause the battery was dead, so hopefully its just a faulty battery. Looks like I now have an excuse to install a mini battery.
