On the way to the final upgrades for my car. Have the LSJ TB in hand. Just ordered the adapter plate and harness. Also just sent Vince my datalog so he knows where to start and hopefully I'll be in business come next Saturday for the dyno.
Hoping for decent numbers. I would really like to see about 140whp...not sure how far above or below I'll be.
For those of you who don't know me. I did a base dyno when I bought the car. The dyno was a Dyno Dynamics and the shop went out of business since then. Being a 2.2 auto. I was at 112.2whp and 110.7wtq. Quite low and I was sad to see such low numbers (not sure if it's due to the shitty dyno...I've heard those are quite low compared to others...or due to the shitty auto).
Now, with all the mods I have, I'm hoping for much better numbers. Also, the dyno this time around will be a Dynojet so my previous numbers will mean nothing, but I can still get a VERY general idea of how much power I gained.

AutoX in Wausau, WI on Sept 30th for those of you interested. I can post up a flyer once my internet starts working at home
i figure wausau is "sorta" close to where some of you members are at in MN. worth a shot!

Maybe I'll take it to DB later and get a few pulls to see where it sits so I can have a better comparison to the original. Then I can compare the DD to a Dynojet and guess what my car made stock on a dynojet.

yea. this past weekend was a test and tune. im pretty sure its the last test and tune of the year.
i dont think they do much track prep for the sport compact. my buddy ran at the rock with the big boys and said the track prep was a huge improvement over sport compact day.
cant wait until the track is built at elko. 45 min drive,none of this 2 hour crap!

It's running decent. Hates 30 degree start ups. But it always has. I went on a neon cruise last weekend with my roommate and it was pretty badass. We had a 22 car convoy. Otherwise you guys should definitely come on the color cruise on the 13th. It's a great route, lots of good scenery
