Well I guess third times a charm. Went back to the dyno again and amazingly nothing went wrong. Just to give a brief history. First time I had issues with the throttle cable as well as the ECU. The second time I had lots of coolant issues and a busted throttle shaft. This time other than one small issue with the datalogging on my PC everything worked flawlessly. I am quite happy with the numbers as we have done no timing work at all yet. I will give it a few more miles on the street to be sure no more bugs creep up then back to dyno session #4 for tuning.

Impressive numbers, that car must really pin you in the seat under acceleration. Are the numbers corrected or is that RWHP?

From what the dyno operator tells me they are uncorrected RWHP. And yes it does get a little exciting around 3500 RPM. You have to be ready for it. Its unlike anything I have ever driven/ridden in.

Congrats John! Yeah I find booster seats dont fit too well in the cat Wink. Well Im sure I will catch you around sooner or later. Dont worry about the free time. As you know it sort of comes back eventually.

Whoa Blaine! Those are some pretty sick numbers, dude. Is this really driveable on the street? Get someone to shoot some video and post it. We all need to see and hear that!

Nice! I remember years ago when you were still building and sorting things out. Watch out for the local gumshoe when you try it on the street.
