I'm not disappointed. The car feels strong. It's like running a 10.00 at the track when you want 9's lol. I definitely agree with everything you said.
Had the car tuned today. How do these numbers sound...

I agree. Thank you, much appreciated! Won't be going tonight. They don't prep that well on these Friday night things but I will be going soon.
damn so you only got one revised tune? Id follow up for sure or get with 04Sleeper on here.
Correct. I wasn't happy he left us hanging like that. I'm gonna get ahold of 04sleeper.
Took a buddy for a ride earlier. He was very impressed with how the car pulled. Don't mind the 314whp in the title he was just being funny.
Why didn't you bump the compression to 10.1 or 10.5:1?
Just curious.
Just curious.
And why 98 cams as well.
For compression I really don't know why I didn't go higher.
I did the 98 cams to keep the price of the build down and they are slightly better the stock.
Honestly if could do it all over again I would've went with higher compression, lowered boost, and did custom cams.
My new motor is 10.5:1 compression.
Why did I go with that CR?
I was talked in to it from the guy that I got my built parts from.

Thanks! I'm curious to see how it does at the track.
Did you degree the cams or just install them "straight up"
What type of dyno?
How much boost were you running? How much boost on the old engine were you running?
Is this a Standard 2.9L or a Crusher?
What kind of tires on the car when you dynoed? (Yes this can make a big difference)
What did IATs look like on the dyno?
Can you post a picture of the dynosheet?

I'll see what I can do
Hey juiced46, my answers to your questions are in your quote.
I would say for your situation. Upping compression 1 point, minor cam change with the same boost +50rwhp is pretty good. Especually for not having a Crusher which is choking you. You are not going to get massive gains from the compression bump. The cam degreeing would play a role. On your build sheet from the engine builder does it mention what they were degreed at?

Gotcha. I want the crusher but seen a post malcolm had about pulling the 2.9 apart to install it and it looks like a pita. The only number for the cams on there is 114.5
The guy running the car on the dyno said the dip and spike was spark blowout. Plugs are gapped at .026
Thanks! I hear ya, just would've been nice to see that 800.
I know what your talking about wanting to see the "800" number, I felt the same way with my setup, I thought for sure I would see "600" number but did not. It's easy to caught up in the number race. Your car is beast in the video!
