I just checked my dwell curve I'm running between 5.76 to 3.96ms starting at 12v up to 14.7v. my car runs typically at 14.4-14.6v which is kinda high for alternator output but I like it that way with the hydra bc it keeps the car from idle surging when the fans kick on.

 

Here is a little teaser for you all, we just have to edit all the clips together. This was a 2/3/4 pull on 21psi. It was really hot today like 90* so I was actually getting traction on the Maxxis VR1 since they stick pretty good if they are warm.

 

Andy, around here people have been charged over videos showing them (allegedly) doing way illegal speeds on public roads. Standard of proof applies of course, but still ...

Dunno how things work over there, but please don't end up without a license, or worse.

 

I appreciate the looking out, but I've done like 100+ pulls on that road over the years. That's where I do all my logging and vd runs bc it's flat and it's out in the county where nobody really messes with you

 

I understand. You missed my point, it is not the neighbors you need to watch out for.

It is the viewers, and LE, if you or your car are identifiable in a video uploaded to SM or the like. Local guy lost licence and big fine that way, but perhaps you don't have a speed limit there, Or for other reasons, you don't have to worry about someone seeing a video and saying 'look at that bloke driving at crazy illegal speeds, I need to report him before he kills somebody'.

Here endeth public service announcement, we take you back to normal programming.

 

Gee Emm is referring to law enforcement's retroactive prosecution by using the driver's own public domain high speed driving videos as evidence against them to successfully levy fines/bans. I know it's common place in the UK and Australia but does this happen in the US?

 

Looks and sounds awesome, Andy!

 

I mean I've been posting this kinda stuff for years now. I guess I'm not to worried about it as I believe the police have more important things to do but I could be wrong lol. Either way, just enjoy the sound of the car let's not worry here. Lol

 

I did not see it; what was the final tq for the new head studs? Glad everything got worked out, minus the added funds needed to do so. Compliments on the new low mount set up!

 

I set the tq to 70ftlb. The other head that is cracked I'm thinking about cutting it up for science.

 

Here in Arizona there was a video that went mildly viral of a Lambo doing over 200MPH on a newly opened stretch of highway. The news ran stories on it and that's when police went after him. They used the video to impound the car and charge him with a bunch of stuff but none of that stuff sticks to rich people. This was at least a decade ago, so yeah they'll try to get people with videos but only when it's kind of high profile.

 

That settles it then! More Mexico runs please Andy

Andy is my 400hp boost hero. He doesn’t give a ****. Coolant reroute? Nah. COP’s? Don’t need them. EBC? That’s for sissies. 400ftlbs through a 6 speed? Oh yes!

 

Lol, you are awesome you know that?! You pretty much exactly described my personality when you said " he doesn't give a **** ". Basically I like my car to be as simple as possible and make the most power I can while not overcomplicating things. Keeping the OEM harness, fuel system, coils, and no reroute is just simplicity. Could a a reroute be a good idea.... Probably. However every time I pull the head off my engine #4 doesn't look any worse off than the other cylinders. My coolant temps never get over 203* and that's even after long *** 5th gear pulls to redline. KISS = KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID

 

Keep It Stupid Simple Stupid

 

I think I'm gonna take the car back to the dynojet soon. Also my old head that I could never find the crack on....I want to cut the head up and look at it for science. Probably will do a video of me cutting the head up. Wanna get a look at how good (or bad) the casting really is.

 

Some interesting news, my stock crank pulley sheared off the bolts on the pulley boss and yeeted itself. I ordered a fluidampr which I wanted anyways so the car gets more cool parts.

 

Good call on the Fluidampr, I love mine, and the newest revision gets rid of those 4 bolt failure points.

 

Yes! I actually read your post where you said that when I was searching for reviews, etc. I think the m6 bolts are not enough, they should probably be at a minimum m8x1.25 or something like that.

How do you like the damper? I like that it's not a press fit like the ATI and I like the fact that it's viscous. I think it will smooth the engine out quite a bit from what I've read. What have you noticed with yours?

 

Engine is notably smoother. I had a oil pressure gauge bobble, that was caused by engine harmonics at high RPM, and it went away with the damper. Just feels better overall, and makes me feel better about abusing the car on the track at high RPM on a stock oil pump.

 

Got the fluidampr installed. Haven't taken the car for a drive yet, I'll do that tomorrow
