So anyone else out there trying to get their car ready for the dyno gathering?

I am currently trying to finish up the exhaust (Hardcore Exhaust #003) which is going well although I may not be able to drive the car if road debris > 1/4" in height Shocked

That is the 'breathe out' part of the equation. Already finished the 'breathe in' parts which consist of cold air intake and 58mm throttle body.

Also trying to get all of the piece parts together to re-install the nitrous on my car. I haven't had the juice functional on the 383 except for about 3-4 seconds which resulted in a very high 'clench-factor' Thumbs up

Tracked down a few minor annoyances... fixed a rattle in the driver side t-top (screw had come out of trim piece), fixed both outside mirrors so they don't rattle, replaced pass side door handle (spring had broke a few years ago - another rattle gone). Need to get her cleaned up so she is presentable.

What do you guys have going?

I don't know that a hammer is the right approch for an ECM.

I am picturing that scene from 'Office Space' . . . Laughing

I am already for the dyno. Just put the twin turbo kit on my Rodeo. And threw an old ford 9'' in the back. I think it is in the high 11's now. We will see

Very Happy

It's hard to say Mike for two reasons...

1. It was only on there a short time before I rebuilt again

2. I only have like 120 or 130 miles on the rebuild and now it is up in the air getting the new exhaust on (will be done tonight Very Happy

).

Bottom line: haven't driven it that much. Also haven't hooked up the wide band and taken a look or done any additional tuning. SOTP says that there is an improvement but you know how butt dyno's lie Wink

Paully put a holley 58mm unit on his... maybe he will chime in with his impressions.

I can say that any of the guys that are running a similar combo to mine that have put down decent power numbers or decent E.T.'s all seem to have a 58mm TB.

So are you and Dan manufacturing K members?

No noticable difference. Did it because I'm "supposed to" at this level.

I was going deaf before but my new exhaust will accelerate the process!

I think it is what she wanted but dang it's loud. On to the next project.

THANKS PAULLY!!! This dude is getting good at tucking dual 3" pipes up over the axle.
