93 mix with c16 is just for safety. The tune that is in the car is his original pump gas tune that he ran 11.1 on weeks ago. I suggested running a mixture for the colder weather and for any boost spikes in 4rth gear.
If anything it should have made the car safer and slower. The engine combination is similar to what we have run on our TA car. BSFC rates are exceptional and efficiency is much higher than your standard 2.0 or 2.3 offered on the market today. When we made a post a while back about our TA car making 490+ on 17 psi it was harder to believe for most, but we have built quite a few now to prove that fluke is not in our terminology.
One more example, we have seen and tested a couple of cars that dyno'd in ohio. If we were to compare dyno sheets it would show that in one case a car making 587 WHP made only 489 on ours. BUT let me be clear weather makes a huge difference and cannot be accurately depicted in this or any comparison. All this tells us is that we don't read any higher.
Nice explanation and by the way what kind of dyno do you guys use?

Here's one of my slips that looks almost exactly like the OP's when we were making about 530 (MD) at 34 psi lol

thanks for taking the time to help me understand Nick...I still can't fully understand what's been done to accomplish that without more detail but it seems you're on to something good, the trap speed confirms it.
