Ya not a bad idea. But once you have it you're gonna say "GM stage 1 what?"

that might be, but there are good reasons to have the stage1 - and then there's when I should take the car in for service.

I mean my stage1 is still sitting in a box, in my basement;
something about two trips to winnipeg during august had me a little too pre-occupied to do the install at that time...

Holey ****. Is that your piston?

Run dry on lubricant or something?

I've understood that nitrous can burn holes in piston tops...

hot spots tend to occur along any sharp edges...

from the hole appearing to start at the valve relief - NO2 is my guess.

K guys we've talked and talked about it but would anyone be up for wings some night before the snow flys??? I don't care where or when but would be sweet to actually get a wings session in with the Manitoba guys before the winter wheels are put on and the sled is pulled out. Anyone?

So i got this email from Brian Wall this moring:

Found the issue! There is a parasitic loss calculation that needed to be calibrated on the rollers running the wrong direction. Being 95% of the cars we do are rear wheel drive, we calibrate every month on the one roller direction. Not realizing, that over time the sencor gets used to running in one direction, then it needs to be calibrated in the other direction. I have had a cobalt on here for two days from vickers. the difference was 36 hp to the tire. Just keeping you in the loop.

I asked him for a new dyno session seeing how my numbers were high before. He said no problem and apologized for everything. As soon as i know a date and get redynod i'll post up my numbers.

wow!

that shop just scored brownie points in my books - I mean he could find the problem, say nothing about it, and move on, but to let you know that he continued to look into it, fixed it, and is hooking you up with another dyno session - that is awesome!

How much do dyno sessions cost around wnpg?

iirc around here it's quite expensive... (then again, so is alot)

Ya after i told him he said he was going to get on it to figure out what the problem was. I'm sure he doesnt get many people comparing local dynos so how would he know. Hes a super nice guy and apoligized more than once. Strap down and 3 pulls was $150 at Walls. I paid $80 at Motion but i got a buddy that works there. I think regular he said is $125.
