Yeah the cops were ****** rediculous last weekend. I wanted to wait until things quieted down a bit but you and your boys pussed out and were all like, wahh I'm tired.. wahhh I'm going home I think.. Maybe we can rip it up this weekend if you're down for it

lol.. Kyle.. you'are a ****

did you schedule your time yet? The shop I was talking about can't do a deal for only 2 cars.. If we did a dyno day with 6 or more he would be able to do $75 but otherwise it's normal price.

Yeah pookie put your car on the dyno and see what she's got. I know you haven't dynoed yet and we're going to be up in your area for the dyno pulls so you might as well join us

I no longer mention shops by name on forums anymore, but I will say the shop I planned on going to is located in Manchester and the shop elecblue06 plans on going to is in East Windsor I believe. The reason for 2 different shops is because the East Windsor shop is less expensive for dyno pulls, but I prefer to use the same dyno in order to see my true gains. I'm still waiting on a ******* part (which has taken 3 weeks now.. I'm pretty sure it's lost of something.. I'm pissed!) so I most likely won't be scheduling dyno time at the shop I normally go to.

You are definitely welcome to come hang out if you'd like. I can shoot you a PM with time and place if you're interested.

i could meet up saturday on the pike, i have friday plans though. Just drop them off in hartford and cruise the pike lol. Sucks about your rim, I assume it was from a pot hole or just winter in general?

Hey guys, relatively new to the site here. I have a 2008 Pontiac G5 base model and I'm in Berlin CT, dead center of the state. If anyone wants to meet up I'm totally down.

yes sir I will be there. I've never dynoed there before but it's pretty inexpensive so why not. ****** car is giving me some **** right now though which is pissing me off. I've been getting some CRAZY kr (12*) at wot which is killing my power up top. It's gotta be phantom knock thought because with that much kr I should OBVIOUSLY be hearing it, but nothing is audible. Ehh whatever, I commited to the dyno so I'll just deal with the results.

Are you still gonna meet up with us?

well since I put this new charge pipe on and got these new boost tables from vince I've been having this issue on and off for a couple of weeks now. I removed the cp mount from off the manifold and the kr went away (thought maybe due to the rigitity of the pipe it was causing some phantom knock), logs were beautiful so we bunped the timing up a bit. KR came back.. ****.. went back to the previous tune, knock gone. Ok maybe it was too much timing so I stuck with the tune with less timing. I took the car out for a spin last night and boom, ****** car is falling on it's face again up top due to this god damn kr.

It comes down to it either being related to my charge pipe or the boost. I really want to say it's the charge piping because if it was too much timing and/or boost it should happen consistantly but it's not. At the same time I can't really see how my cp is causing all this phantom knock. grrrrrrrr

that is really strange.. the only thing i could think of is because of the heat yesterday that added to the issue.. so it might still be slightly too much timing .. vince will take care of it for you
