Final numbers are 487rwhp, 511 tq. The mechanic that screwed him out of 2700 bucks labor is actually going to refund some of it after we had to redo almost everything he got paid to do and did wrong.

I would like to see it, just to see how the custom touches turned out.

And what if this were titled "The government is passing a law requiring men to wear condoms to prevent the spread of AIDS"? I have a standard answer to all of the "Should the govt ________?" questions. I'm pro-choice, but my choice is pro-life. I'm anti a lot of shit, just do what you have to do and stop affecting other people with it. When it affects me, I have a say in it.

my 929 does everything I could ever want or need in a bike...

Finally got mine on. The rest of you need to fix your posts so the pics show.

Paying with Paypal covers that.

Who do we PM for the free custom bikes?

I'd give it to ya if I wasn't about to marry her. . .sorry

Any chance of saving it? I have a spare, but it's kinda rashed up. would rather just straighten this one and ride for the rest of the season.

Kinda hard to get excited when you're on a multi colored Repsol Race Replica surrounded by 13 matching gixxers.

My almost new Qualifier does the same thing on most corners.

Wow, this is an old thread . . . bring it back to life!

I've hit some pretty nasty bugs at around 40ish that completely covered my visor when they splattered. I'm glad my visor was down, that would have severely screwed with my eye if it had hit there. I'm pretty sure that's the point in the law.

As soon as we get the a/f mix right and the cooling system where it should be, it'll have to be retuned, so yeah. Next weekend we'll spend both days working on it, and probably hit the dyno again a week later. The clutch should also be seasoned by then so that'll eliminate the clutch slippage. Like I said, SOOO many things went wrong that day, but we had to do something about the tune, so we went ahead and did what we could. At least 3k of the money he spent was in gauges, exhaust and suspension. The wideband o2 sensor, a/f gauge and boost gauge were around a grand alone.

This isn't a debate, like I said we're not trying to be optimistic here. 10 grand included a lot of non performance parts, dyno time, labor, etc. .

Thanks for your opinion, now go back and practice some reading comprehension. Everything was screwed up and he still hit 438/480 with the ecu pulling timing around 4 degrees, a heat soaked supercharger, a screwed up o2 sensor that is causing it to dump in too much fuel and the IAT sensor reading 160 degrees.

It's an '04 mystic. Like I said, there are some issues that need to be worked out. A lot of the cost was keeping everything as top of the line as possible. He just picked the wrong mechanic. Now we have to go back and basically start over with everything the guy did and figure out what's wrong. I cleared the computer this morning and pulled a P2196, (o2 sensor stuck rich), and his a/f ratio is all over the board. He's pushing 13.4 psi from the stock 6psi so the numbers should definitely go up.

1 mil bond. This is going to turn into a circus.

"Use At Your Own Risk"

Theoretically, the code + the sky high IAT plus the rest of the garbage that popped up should be worth around 60+ hp. but we've given up on being optimistic at this point. He spent 10 grand and got 60 hp out of it. There's definitely some power left to pull out of it, but we'll see how it all works out instead of getting our hopes up again.

What a crap day . . ended up with two codes popping up and not going away. Dyon'd it anyway with a heat soaked intercooler and an "engine overboost" code. Came up with 438 hp/480tq. Somehow the guy who did all of the work failed to burp the radiator and the intercooler. The intercooler was running at a balmy 160 degrees (should have been around 60). The car was missing, and running like pure shit. I would have to strangle the guy that did the work on this car, myself. We'll piece it together and his hp will probably end up around 455 to the ground. Not bad for bolt ons, I would say. Either way, I think his license plate is gonna fit.

Today is the fated dyno tuning for Jason's cobra. We're crossing our fingers for 550+, but the guy who did all of the work and the tuner both estimate 600+ to the rear wheels. We'll be at Slow Motion at 2:00, should have dyno sheets posted a couple hours later.

Exactly. .
