You guys are meeting at the Frys at 7? Anybody plan on showing up early? I'm leaving work in Del Mar at around 5:30 and would make it to the Frys at around 6ish. If nobodies there around then I'd probably get a little skittish and want to leave to go race.

When will you be turboed again? Are you still tuning on the safc? Also it doesnt matter if its stock or not we are having a meet so any evo is welcome.

By removing the turbo my mileage goes way up and that's a plus on my 25 mile commute to work. I'm going to abandon using the SAFC to tune. It wasn't cutting it. I plan on picking up a megasquirt II and having it professionally tuned. I'll probably ask you about the guy that tuned your evo and see if he can do it.

I'm still set to leave work at 5:30. I'm gonna stop at the gas station to balance out the air in my new radials and then head straight down to the frys. If I don't hit major traffic lets say i'll get there around 6:15. If you can head down there early that'd be cool. 
Keep an eye out for the white saturn coupe with stickers on the rear sides. I'll keep an eye out for any evos in the parking lot. If nobodies there I'll see how long I can hold off scratching the itch to race. If i'm not there at the parking lot around 7 then you'll know where to find me.

I have all the dyno sheets and they will be released by alfred himself so that there is no way anyone can say they are not mine.
Now on pump gas at 22 psi the car dynoed at about 393whp with 374tq. And thats a very reliable tune no knock and the car was advancing timing wonderfully. ALL and all it was a very wonderful tune on pump. The car is soo freakin fast on pump.
Now on race gas with c16 the car dynoed at 30psi at 510whp with around 430tq. And again it was a very reliable tune no knock and advanced timing greatly. The car basically ran so perfect. We definitely had more room for improvement. However, bfore I went al out Iwant to upgrade the fuel system and get a wbo2. I want to put another fuel pump and a fpr with a bigger fuel rail. This will allow me to up the boost to aroun 35psi and really try its limits. I am assuming at 35psi it shoul be around the 550-570area. However, all I WANTED WAS AROUND 500WHP ANYWAY SO I MA VERY HAPPY.
I will make a few passes at the q.

I didnt get to run the race map. I was still on my street map. On the street map I ran 7.7-7.8 at 94-95mph. I am working on perfecting my launch. As you guys could see I started very mild on my launch and worked my way up. I got my 60's down to 1.8 which is very good for a big turbo.
