My B4B car show/dyno day adventure!
We had a big crew go down to MN this year for the boost for boobies car show/dyno day breast cancer awareness fundraiser. It was a blast with 25+ people from my area making the trip and 5 of us running on the dyno. I decided to get a spot and dyno the car even though it is on lower boost and can't take it to 8k since the maf is completely maxed and the car doesn't play nice and leans out above that. I have my mini AFC here now so that will be addressed this week 
I got the last spot for the day, so there wasn't a huge crowd, but next time I'll get some prime time. Here she is waiting for a 430whp Evo to come off the dyno.
Then it was my turn. They pulled the car on and tried a 3rd gear pull and it spun on the rollers, and got everyones attention. More people walked towards the door to watch as the dyno operator asked if he could do a 4th gear pull. I said sure and he let it eat on just 23lbs to 7300 rpms where she started to lean out as I told him it would. I could see he was glancing between the wideband and the speedo as his eyes grew wider. He let off and looked over at the guy running the computer and yelled out a loud "HOLY ****"
The guy running the computer then looked at it and turned to me and said "5 0 1", and I yelled to everyone outside that it made 501whp and heard a loud cheer. On just 23 psi and 7300 I was happy, and it looked as if it would make another 15-20whp when I can take it to 8k. I then tried another run on 25 psi and advised him to let off around 6500 before it ran out of fuel. I just wanted to see what kind of gains to expect, and it looks as if it will make about 30whp more on 25. Did another pull on around 24 just because I had a pull left. The guys working there all gave me props and one even said "you just blew my mind" lol, and they all said they were surprised and that the car must be a riot on the street. I told them next time I'll have the fueling side of things covered and will be aiming for near 600. BS'd for a few minutes as they backed the car out, and as I walked out to the car this happened 
People flocked and shook my hand and congratulated me and showed a lot of respect and were just really kind and made it a fun time! Some guys invited me to the local street races that night, but it ended up raining so they called it off.
It was a fun trip and I got to meet some cool guys from the forums and that made it even cooler. Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting the good cause that the event goes for! The guys at MAP were very appreciative and Chris Carey the owner, and Dan (who started the event) both shook all of our hands and thanked us for coming out for the 3rd year. I'm excited to see how much money they raised for donation.
Here is my graph. They said it was the smoothest one they had seen all day.
My car on the dyno.
The friends' cars I tuned made the following:
2007 STi, built motor, 6262, stock heads and stock cams on E85 30psi made 504whp (488 on 26, needs headwork!)
2008 Speed3, bolt ons, FMIC, on 21 lbs 91 made 298whp/310tq
2011 STi, turboback, injectors and E85 on 22psi made 335whp/385tq
2003 G35, 6262 on 8lbs 91 made 375whp
Big thanks to all the support from everyone on here! I'm not even going to begin to name off people because there are far too many who have influenced this car over the years. It has been a journey, but I enjoy spending my spare time working on this thing, even when it pisses me off, because moments like Saturday make it all worth it. That's what its all about!
I'll post videos as soon as I receive them from friends. Thanks for reading!

It was a great time and it was cool to meet Taylor and all the guys from ND.
Big Congrats on 501hp! This car is nasty, hopefully next time I get to ride in it it'll be 100% and 600+.

Thanks guys, it was such a blast! Just wish it wouldn't have rained that night so we could have gone to the street races.
Alex, next time you can actually get more than 1 second of super lean WOT action followed by a bunch of swearing That was frustrating. I think the pump or regulator just got upset on the long drive down...I don't really have any other explanation lol. I'm just glad it ended up working right on Saturday.
