ahhh... so i guess if all things go well for me... i should be at about 380hp-400hp at the crank

Might be... what all did you just do. I know something with porting the turbo...

Crank power is good for tuning. I have to start dealing with that now. Crank HP and airflow measured in g/cyl... yuck...

what did you dyno Spoon? mamma has the same mods and the interceptor read a consistant 262hp. I thought that was pretty close to what you dyno'ed at. That is why I figured it is pretty accurate.

It is, but it shouldn't be accurate. I read how it determines HP, and it does so by determining how much fuel it's burning and RPMs. It does say crank hp in the description. I could be wrong though. I'm not saying it's not accurate, but it should be crank power, before blower and drivetrain loss.

when you come out we will hook mine up in your car. that sould tell us. because if mamma is at 260 flywheel, and only what maybe 245 then at the wheels. then neither of us can drive our cars.lol

i just picked up a ported turbo and exhaust mani... in a week, i'll have a ported throttle body, ported intake mani, and spacer to prevent heat soak into the intake mani ... I also just installed a new 3" AEM CAI... which is a upgrade from the 2.5 k&n that i had

Nice to see a car that benefits from a CAI... other than us ricers and and our blower noise, but it's such a neat sound... How does the ported TB work for the SRT, decent gains?

actually the CAI doesn't do much overall... how ever, I didn't like the way the K&N is set up... they use a 90 degree silicone elbow, which people have said will collapse .. the AEM has a hard 90 into the turbo and a short coupler to connect...

I hope to lean out the car a little to make some gains... as i've said.. i run 10 A/F's

I hope to be going to the dyno soon after everything is up and running

Flo, are you still heading down tomorrow? If so, anyone else joining you?
