I still don't understand why the motor would require any more fuel after 2 hours of running at 95% vs 20 minutes of running at 95%. Does the engine become less fuel efficent during an endurance race?

Maybe the 1/4 id fuel line at 45 psi cant handle the g-force going round those bends looking for the finish line.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. And applying for a few more Credit cards so you can afford the extra mods .

We have offended some people on NAM, go figure, and we are requested to rremove it. Tuls was nice enough to redesign it and it can be found below in my sig. Please change it at your convienience.

NAM Management thanks you.

Check this out. I'll finish it tomorrow.
Not to shabby for a stock supercharger on an 03 S. 15% pulley.
There's a lot of info here for those who can understand what's going on . If this was a M62 with our parts and my tune it would surely approach 300whp and over 200lbft. When I finish this tune I'll post the results tomorrow. By the way, this car came out of the Jersey fog codenamed "The Pontious Pilot Project".

Wow! 220WHP at 7000. My car was at 231.9WHP un-tuned at 6900

Looks like you need a new head.

Why the low 10% correction factor.

I think their assertion is that that's a real 220whp as opposed to a fake 231whp. But that's just my deduction from being an observer of the thread...

Luckydog - Does that car have the stock clutch? I've read numerous posts saying that the stock clutch starts to slip at those torque #s. Thanks.

I would like to see the dyno sheets from some of the other cars. Have they been posted anywhere?
