But, your comments about it working have me curious. I am going to pull out my manual and see if t check into factory spec's..

But yeah, I am running straight 93, no meth or anything else. I have spent a TON of time on making the engine as efficient as possible, getting the air in/out as fast and efficient as possible. READ: Extremely **** about stuff. Like SC, I am trying to see how quick and how much I can eek out of the car before I want to do a bigger turbo.

SC, I really admire you trying to see what you can do without cams, as that was the approach I took before giving in to the cam thing. I hit 349whp before I threw in the towel and slapped a set of GSC 264's in it.

Maybe once I am done with the tune for the crap that's in the car now, I will post up a review much like this one to see what everyone thinks.

Also worth noting is, I did some 3rd gear pulls starting at 2500RPM to see how early the Green would spool.. I'm pleasantly surprised, even with all the ported components it makes 20psi @ 3500RPM

SC, don't feel bad. I decided I was going to stick with the stock cams even after green/meth. Really the stock IX cams work pretty damn good with a stock turbo.

I'm heading to the drag strip today... the tune is 90% there, I will have to finish it at the track.

My drum of C16 hasn't shown up yet, so I'm on straight pump. My last trip was last year with slipping clutch & stock turbo... I'm anxious to see what happens

Hmmm, are you saying that you could not hold that much to redline b/c of the MBC, or that it would have to be adjusted higher to get it to hold that much?

First trip to the track w/ Green & w/ new clutch. Cold day, tough to get a good launch. I was breaking all 4 loose.

Code:
R/T ... 1.464
60' ... 1.868
330 ... 5.159
1/8 ... 7.862 @ 91.23
1000... 10.203
1/4 ... 12.146 @ 118.56
Highest trap for the day: 119.08

Was this up at NED? If so, how is the track so far this year? I hate driving to E-town if NED is going to be decent.

Yea, NED. There was practically no one there today.

On my two best launches, I spun all 4 and started to go sideways... it was too cold.

I did much better in the right lane compared to the left. I'll have to see how much I can improve the launches in the heat.

Good times then.

Did you get the package yet? If not, it should be there tomorrow.

People have run DLL while on the Dyno numerous times. It reads inbetween a Mustang and a Dynojet.

SC, thanks for providing the detail in the green tuning.
