I was on the CBRD mustang dyno sat. Just did 4 quick power pulls how I drive it everyday. I noticed that my max power was at 0 counts of knock. 3 counts lost me 10whp on the one run. I ended up with 310whp/315tq still rich, still conservative on my tune. Mods are catback on evo 9, boost tapering to 16psi, and pump gas.
The evo 8 I tuned didn't give a **** about knock. We were at 22psi and no knock 340 to the wheels. The owner turned the boost up a "tick" as I instructed him and it went to 24psi and made 348 hp with 5 counts. You can run an 8 with a little bit of knock and they will be quick that way. 9's, not so much.

was out driving around in my cousins new vette.. thought i would share a very fast sound clip of it.
has some mods. feels fast. maybe one of the next meets i will bring her since my car is obviously hibernating.
don't mind the black smoke, it was really cold out and it was the first time it was started in like 3 days.

This Sunday. North Park. There will be a non points "fun" autocross.
as long as there is no snow on the ground Saturday night, it's on.
weather looks alright so far. 30% chance of some rain with temps in the mid 50's.

Race day starts with registration from 8:30 to 9:30am. Tech inspection closes at 10:00am. Timed runs follow the mandatory Drivers Meeting. Bring something to mark your car with (either masking tape or a paint marker), and a Snell 85 or newer helmet.
this will be the last event for the year, so come on out.

Yeah that Vette is very nice. Those LS2 motors are great for modding. Chris' GTO has the 6.0 LS2, and that thing scoots. Stock vs stock the GTO just man handles the evo in the straights.
I haven't raced chris yet with his catback, intake and tune. However i'd assume it would beat me pretty good.
I can only imagine what that vette would do to my car :'(...

hey, i just took my wheel locks off tonight. got tired of digging for the key in the glovebox everytime i changed tires around.
if anyone wants the locking lugs, make me an offer. they're not gonna do anything but take up space in a droor.
