Huge numbers and awesome tq Rob! Should be an easy 235-240 at the mile given those power numbers

Very nice thread by Marty(+rep points) and Congrats Rob on hitting the big numbers. Just to spice things up, I'm planning on pushing that boost level by another 9psi
We'll see what happens my friend. Looking forward to see that beast in person, fun times coming up shortly

There were several runs made in different gears. The problem that we were having with the dyno is that it kept shutting down. I have a video of the screen saying ... "Warning! Will Robinson! Dyno must be shut down immediately." As far as the graph is concerned, if you want accurate "technical" discription of every line then you must contact Todd Knighton. Unfortunately, I am not qualified to explain the dyno sheet. However; you must admit, those are some killer numbers and If I had the money and the time for a couple of weeks instead of ONE day at Todd's I am certain we could break 1300! As I stated earlier in one of my post we kept running into issues around 31 pounds of boost! Maybe next year when I save of the money and the time to send my car back to Arkansas.
Cheers

Funny you ask, the past sunday I took bluey out to do some 60 to 130 times. During the initial runs I noticed that the car had a shake originating from the rear. Ripley's believe it or not, we bent the lung bolts! Just got some new ones in today, and when the weather improves I plan to go and do some tuning and times.

I think he said lung bolts, not lug bolts 
Thats is some serious power! I dont think I have heard of bending lug bolts before

Rob, what do you think the numbers would be if you did this in 4th gear instead of 5th, so we could compare it to other runs. Also, what is that one crazy red line that is on the tq curve off in space all by itself? All the other lines are around 900-950 or so but this one is solo at 1100. If that is the actual tq number then can we assume the matching line on the hp graph is accurate as well, if so why did it stop a bit over 6K rpm? Thanks, see you in TX!
