<<Javad, While I can get to the www.80tq.com/dyno page, I'm not able for some
reason to access the dyno pdf.  The page just locks up on me when I've tried
clicking on the pdf file link.>>

Hey Mike, try:

Thanks, yes, I've spend a considerable amount of time removing the intake and
exhaust restrictions that I believed were there, this dyno run confimed to me
that a lot of what I"ve been doing has been working, esp. when compared to
standard CIS dyno comparisons.  I'm now building a new motor with extensive
head work to continue to improve the flow through the head where its so
critical.

Yes, I agree, we've talked about dynoing the car again, I suspect that his
timing is retarding too much as we're running the same basic turbo but his
20v spools up close to 1k rpm later than mine. I agree that it should be at
least 10-15% higher generally speaking, but the comparison is still striking,
twice the boost but not the power.

Wow, very impressive, is that with the 2.6 stroker motor?  Interesting to
note your hp and torque are swapped from mine, where your hp is higher than
your torque.  Also interesting, that my 10v torque of 255 at 15psi almost
equals your 17psi run.  Looks like at your higher boost setting maybe your
ecu is backing off timing at around 5500rpm?  Also, my runs were with 91 with
a splash of Tolulene, probably about 91.5 oct or so.

Yes, the stock MAF, IC are suspect for sure.

Lemme know if you still need it.
