  1. I appreciate the offer - mainly had read varying numbers, saw you post and it jogged the memory to find some clarity. The GM crew would crucify me.
  2. I think you'll see more "pro" tuners` portfolios shine in the stand-alone area. Most of OEM calibration revolves around the availabilty of options to calibrate versus the resources needed to calibrate them. If you have a control system that is popular and widely supported like the LSx or Mod Motors, you see the problem less, but your many times stuck within OEM maximums. GM is making a push to use a standardized platform and the way they've done so is ingenious. I imagine the other domestics along with competing foreign platforms are doing the same.
  3. Hey Rob - dumb question - what kind of HP can you get out of the Ford EDIS systems on the V8's without any additions?
  4. I'm not familiar with Subaru's controls but generally speaking regarding engine control strategy: non steady state fueling is mainly influenced by acceleration enrichment or dynamic airflow calculation parameters. Predicting airflow during transitions can utilize simple modifiers or complicated system response curves.
  5. The difference in BSFC between 15.7 and 14.6/14.7:1 is roughly 4-5%, which is a very small amount considering the torque output drop is roughly triple that. At this point you're going to need more torque - throttle, to maintain the speed of the vehicle against any drag. 15.4:1 is where most engine's hit peak thermal efficiency, and usually is cited as the outer most air/fuel boundry before torque drops off like it was paulie shore. Tyrone - did you do the work on loaded dyno? I'm assuming since it was done in real time the answer is yes, in which case you should have seen some torque dips durning tip in with such a lean A/F ratio. I think that's what RL was trying to get at.
  6. Catalytic converter....turns them into napalm.
  7. hahaha wow both of those were so wrong on somany different levels...
  8. If she's anything like you, might want to have a cork surgically implanted...or the tubes tied. If not...T minus 5 for pregnancy...
  9. I was once told by a father: "When you have 2 boys, you only have 2 penises to worry about. When you have 2 girls....you have all the other penises in the world to worry about...times 2."
  10. MCIR is a very laid back track. The gal that works the entrance is cute to boot. It does get abit bumpy in the backhalf, might cause some problems for some fast movers.
  11. I want her as my spotter...and in 10 years....wife.
  12. Word. I'm glad you posted this, has always wondered about DE razors...as my five oclock shadow happens at 10AM. I think our milkman was cewbacca...
  13. Lots of respect for the SF guys, along with anyone who serves!

  15. For anyone North of Columbus, near JEGs HQ and the Delaware Airport, there is the "Fuel Depot", who sells 112 leaded for a decent prince..5.00/gal or so? http://www.mcwherterspetroleum.com/565101.html
  16. I was hoping for "Then you aint shit!" but that'll do. God bless you guys.
  17. I don't think there's any way to gauge wind outside of the single player mission, no flags or banners. The maps may not be large enough to even require the use of mil dot, but I agree with you that the game seems to lack real world bullet drop. Hopefully in BF3 or other on-the-horizon shooters they include markable range cards, bullet drop, zeroing, range finders, etc. Vendors need to capture the skill it takes to make 800m+ shots.
  18. If the enviromental and atmosphereic conditions were the same, he would.
  19. I may not have grey hair, but I'm certainly able to decipher snake oil bullshit when I see it. We know what you're saying, but, we are trying to tell you - this isn't one of them. Fat Nick was a victim of operation error - as Dyno Dynamics units have an operator input "correction factor", Dynojets don't have it so easy. Like Brain mentioned, he would need to hold a blow torch next to the weather station...which I would go out on a limb and say...he wouldn't do that.
