his profile saids springs-f/r sway bars- and shocks, you can do alot of work to the suspension but if you don't have good tires then it is a waste...tires is where it all begins.

So...I totally forgot that for the last month I've been running around on my B setting of 6.5 psi!
I put it back to A yesterday, 9.5psi, and OH MAN what a difference it makes!

Yeah...I was feeling all cocky on the freeway, till I pulled up behind this viper whose license plate read "752 WHP"...

bahaha you wouldnt even try to race that.

you guys notice that out truboost kinda reads higher? I noticed that when I have set the duty cycle to 10 and it reads 7 psi on the streets, when I dynoed i put it so 15 duty cycle trying to dyno at 8 psi... but on the dyno reading my 15 duty cycle went only around 6.6- 7.4 psi, on the next pull i raised the duty cycle to 25 and then it only went to 7.4 and up to 7.8psi.. When I was at 40 duty cycle where it reads 10psi on the dyno, i can see a 12 reading on the street lol

truboost comes off directly from the vacuum block.. and it pretty much reads same boost level as my ems... i think its something with the chassis load dyno, i have been to mustang and dynodynamics dyno and seems like they both read lower psi at same setting than on the street.. Maybe since the car is on the roller, it takes more truboost duty cycle to get to a certain boost level than on the street..

hmmm...boost gauge and reading from EMS are the same, but the reading on the dyno is different?

I don't have an answer for that? Have you spoken with other guys who have tuned ont the same dyno? If their numbers are off as well?


ta...what's your CEL?

when on the dyno the boost reading on the ems corresponds to the dyno as i was comparing the datalog on my hydra and the dyno.. what im saying is on the streets the car boosts higher on same duty cycle than on the dyno, thats why you need to set it to 40 to get it to 10 psi.. on the street 30+ will get you to 10 psi.. i noticed this on two separate load chassis dyno (mustang and dynodynamics)

ummmmm i gotta get it scanned to find out whats going on but here's the basics: My AFR keeps reading lean but we changed my spark plugs the other day and they looked as though i was running rich. And then my cel, which actually came on before we did the turbo isntall..... im gonna take it to get read this weekend and hope that its not something bad.... hope its something dumb like my o2 sensor.
