What's up with that torque dip? I bet that's a wild ride. Do you have to give it back now?

The fall in torque and power is where we are basically "limiting" the ouput by pulling out some timing.
I never made a pass in the car because it's not mine. However, I can tell you that rolling into the boost at 70-80mph will send the tires up in smoke! It could be a wild ride if you wanted it to be.

Update on this car...
It was sold two weeks ago. Due to a busy business, he wasn't driving it as much so it sat in his shop and took up space. When someone asked if it was for sale, it wasn't a hard decision to say "yes." The rest is history... and a big bag of $100 bills. Good new is my buddy had it for 2 years and never had one problem! He drove it whenever the weather was nice (winters suck up North) and even took the car from DesMoines (his home) to Chicago to visit his brother. |
