  1. Our good friend Ian has a Cyclone....you can buy it for 12,000$
  2. Anthony, you can free up the 8pm slot, we'll only be dynoing one car. Thanks
  3. It goes both ways -- zing along routes with gun trucks or get stuck on main routes with MRAPs... I've been told many times to mind the Resistant -- not proof.
  4. I've hear it both ways, the MRAP is a big improvement because of the design....and...the MRAP is horrible idea because of the size. The top hatches and space are nice on them but the rear hatch is kinda..well...unforgiving.
  5. There might be a misunderstanding the of the problem. Most of the name brand stand-alones can adapt and run any engine, however, they won't be able to emulate the OEM-BUS functions and logic. In english, that usually means the gauge cluster, all of the security devices, hell -- damn near everything in the car won't function properly. How the power is made -- the engine controller doesn't care - it knows air and fuel. That answer isn't transparent.
  6. I would go this route, provided the rear subframe isn't getting a divorace
  7. insert direct exhaust injection.jpg here
  8. Who stole my car and drove it to your work?
  9. I was downtown today at the Vet's building when a shooting happened -- group of young kids trying to nab a lady's purse opened fire on her when she tried to run. I thought about it for a second, as it happened a block or two away, if I were walking to the car or was near by -- what would I do? Just curious to see what the opinion is...
  10. In the words of LaRue, God Bless our troops, especially our snipers.
  11. Different fuels have different stoichiometric points -- even different blends of octane. You need to find out the H/C and O/C ratios from the vendor and crunch accordingly.

  13. To expand on the pseudo Alpha N Table (the lightbulb in some heads may glow after reading) Hmmmmmmmm :lurk:
  14. I wouldn't call it misinformation, I would just politely comment the author hasn't spent much time on the engurneeeering side or with newer tech stuff. Check into the SAE's online library, lots of good reads. Greg Banish's books are a great read as well. Lots of MECH300+ classes cover engine control, if you are that interested, try auditing one. Maybe Eric has reasons (e.g. HPT's pseudo Alpha N Table that isn't available with MAF support), maybe the customer requested it? Who knows...
  15. Wherever or whomever gave you that tidbit lacks understanding and experience behind engine controls. Consider the following: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4035/7mafsdcomparisonclean.jpg The data on the top trend line is MAP based, while the bottom is MAF based. The trend line (black lines) are representative of actual engine airflow - calculated from an external equation that is big and ugly with many inputs from external sensors on the engine dyno. Notice the top data is much tighter to the trend line during low air flow? Hmmmmm, maybe this is why companies (e.g. GM) spend the extra $ to use both MAF and SD models to calculate cylinder airmass? Better yet, maybe this is why MAF transfer functions are being split into sections based on operation range? Modern day OEM's offer all three basic models and use them at different times, with variable valve timing and camshaft phasing being the defacto - many have moved to an instantaneous equation: or "parametric" VE. Instead of a predefined array, you have a system response curve that is, for lack of other words, calculated on the fly. You would need tables upon tables to do work with cam phasing/valve timing/etc. Arguing SD vs MAF is so 90s....I hope you like math -- because you'll be arguing some of the ugliest equations when it comes to response curves.
  16. Did Henderson dry up? I was confused if that was the same Henderson I saw in UFC yesteryear...
  17. That's how we were taught on the M9 -- interesting none the less.
  18. Can you expand on 'runs like crap'?
  19. The plant in Lafayette is hugggggge, drove by it nearly everyday...
