When i have a chance i will get a good pull in so you can see when it really spools, which is normally 33-3500rpm. The MIVEC does wonderful things for spool. then again, his 280 cams hurt.
309 whp on ESP's dyno is still roughly in the 350-360whp range on a dynojet and nothing to be unhappy about lol

EGTs are at a crisp 1600*F
SWEET! E-mail it to me and I'll do an overlay of your old pull with v5.4(punkdivo78@hotmail.com)

sent, numbers look like they are down. Not sure why. Everything else is where it should be.

Could be weather effects. Different baro and air temps play a big role in uncorrected results. Also, road conditions could be slightly different (inclines and declines). Not to mention that breakfast burrrrrrrrito you had this morning lol.

same stretch of "closed" road Which is on a slight incline. Not enough to really factor in though.

So it look like I'm just cursed. I was t-boned today on a main street in my hometown on my way to work. And for starters, I'm fine, my head hit the b-pillar but other than a bad case of whiplash I don't think I'll file a medical claim or w/e its called. I wasn't pushing the car or even in boost I was coasting and a F350 pulling a steamroller incoming decided to turn left and neglect my vehicle's presence...

I have damage on the driverside rear door, quarterpanel, snapped control arm, chipped rim and a really pushed in door jamb frame... Looks like she's totalled... I'll try to post some photos if you guys want. If they by some rare chance of luck decide to fix it then I guess I'm in luck, though a bent pipe will never be perfectly straight again... If she's totalled I might have a very nice parts car for you all...

Overall, steamrollers + F350's + Evo's... fail
Though my accident wasn't as nearly as bad as that scoobie posted earlier..

Sorry to hear that man. You truly do have terrible luck. Glad to hear you are alright. From recent experience, steamrollers are nothing to mess with and scary as ****. Maybe its time to get a 10

that scooby rolled a few times after hitting a lightpost. it's not without a good amount of effort you can mod a car like that.

i think you should just get an H2. people stay away from those things.

at least you are okay. make sure to get to the hospital and get checked out. often you don't feel things until the next day.
