AJ - Thanks for the setup.
They strapped my car down on the dyno this morning after they rolled off Peter's. I am still trying to figure out why my car seems to always be a day behind his.
The pump gas goal on this build was the magical 1000 rwhp. They were able to hit 1004 rwhp. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how truly absurd that statements sounds.
"1000rwhp on pump"
Then it was time to pour in C16 and crank up the boost. I finally got the call from Kevin late this afternoon that the car was heat soaked and they were having a horrible time with it spinning on the dyno due to the tires having too much negative camber from when the car was lowered by the previous owner. This will be addressed in the near future.
The final number of the night was 1512 rwhp. A little short of what we set out to do today but they are going to give it a go in the morning. I'm sure it will hit at least 1530 maybe a little more.

They are going to work on the E85 tune in a couple of weeks when John Reed goes back to UGR. Yes. I still want to see what we can do on E85. It should make good power depending on if we can supply enough fuel with the current system or not. I can get E85 at the pump for $2.49. I can also go down to the local ethanol plant and have them fill barrels of moonshine for me and blend it myself. If I can make similiar power on fuel that is $2.50 at the pump compared to $10/gallon in a barrel pump your own C16 - why wouldn't I?

The plan was to let the car cool all night, strap it down a little tighter and try to get something close to 1550rwhp this morning just so I could raz Peter that my car dyno'd higher. Now, I know a dyno number doesn't mean squat in the real world. Our cars have the exact same build and on the same boost setting should make the same power give or take. But............
Kevin called me this morning and said the car spun a little on the dyno then just dead hooked.
Final number on C16 is 1584 rwhp. Done and done.

Now 4 of those barrels belong to Sloss. I'll snap one later
