Today was the final day of tuning. Erratic power output and pulled timing yesterday. Something wrong with the car or the fuel. As Sharky alluded to ^^, Todd smelled something amiss with the 100 octane they put in yesterday. To take the fuel out of the troubleshooting equation, plan was to drain the tank and fill with MS109.
Car strapped on the dyno.
PIWIS hooked up to activate the fuel pumps to drain the tank
Emulator hooked up and ready for tuning
John and Ian filling the tank with pure, newly opened VP MS109
Two of the pulls
Best run (sorry, no vid):
After figuring out yesterday's results were from bad fuel, Todd mixed some pump 91 and re-dyno'd. Didn't catch those but was told the power was essentially the same.
Comparing this to the baseline dyno I originally posted, gains were approximately 220 awhp and 210 ft-lbs of tq
I'll (or Ian) will post some dyno plots when they're available.
Due to a bit of a late start, still needed to finish programming, reinstall the rear bumper, and install the dual switch in the cabin = car not ready until tomorrow.
I still haven't driven this thing, but needless to say, I'm excited!
Will post impressions after I get to drive it tomorrow night
