I'm home, the 550's are in but the tune is Sunday. My crazy about cars 9 year old son and I will be driving up to the Dyno to meet Jan and spend Fathers day making HP . Should be good fun.

Crazy thing is I put the 550's in thinking the car would run funny until we tuned. It runs perfect and feels great??

lets hook up this week and make a video .

So, you may already be above 300whp, but it just has not been measured yet.

Well the good news is we made more power (295whp and 230ftlp's) but we are chasing a miss up top around 6700. I'm going to remove the MSD and change the plugs then we will go back again. That miss is keeping us from seeing the very top number but I really don't care at this point because the amount of power through the mid is soooooo good I don't want to stop driving it.

But we will get over that 300 .

You wouldn't be the first to have a problem with that coil. Connections rust like crazy on the one's I've seen.

Have no idea. The last two times on the dyno we never used it. I just use to lower intake temp's and my AF.

That sounds nice! I guess it's a bit trivial anyway to hold our breath for 5 hp.
