Restrictor: 42mm
HP: 370
Tq: 365
Last season I dyno'd 360/360 with a 38mm plate. Shooting for 375 this year so I swapped to a 42mm plate, made a small change to the tune and dyno'd 355 at ProTech last weekend. HP went the wrong way and the AFR was doing some wacky things...no bueno on the tuning change. No time to fix it though so I just got my annual done (Thanks Kyle!) and put it back on the trailer. Tried a different approach in the tune, went to Colvin today and pulled 370/365 with exactly the AFR I was looking for. Started to try a 44mm plate but not while paying hourly dyno rates. It's close enough...I'll just yank some ballast and call it done. No fun paying for two dynos but it's done now, I learned some stuff, and made sure the tune is safe to go out and beat on.
