Nope, all blower. The car's holding good temps and has no knock without it, so for reliability reasons, I'm not going to use it. So I'm gonna pull the kit off. He said if we added meth we could have made anywhere from 5whp-20whp, but it would be a minimum of another 2 hrs of dyno tuning (@ 150/hr) for unknown gains and also we would lose some reliability.

Since, he said it isn't having heat issues (which was the main reason I would've used the meth), I just opted to keep it this way. Plus the car made damn good power, so that helped too, hehe.

That's even better! I think the meth/water is hard on an engine due to it's by product of etching, of course maybe not as bad on street cars as is on strip/track cars that are running it almost alway's.

Hmmm wonder if you'd crack that elusive 2 mark if the car was run today with 20 degree cooler ambient air with 40% less moisture in the air

I agree, the day the car was tuned it was horrible out...very humid and hot.

Yea it was tuned on a really hot day. Plus this is how the car ended up after 2.5hrs of hard tuning. I guarantee it would go run over 200whp if I threw it up on a dyno day. The driveability is honestly unreal, the car drives like stock, but it hits 120 in the time it used to take to hit 80 haha. I already realized I need to get my cruise control hooked back in, because even in fifth gear the car wants to pull while cruising down the highway at 70.

First is the Horsepower and Torque Sheet.



This is the horsepower and Air/Fuel's.



Huge thanks to Dan @ DB Performance. This guy is amazing with SCT.

Makes me wonder how much better my car could be with a dyno tune Glad to hear it's driving nice. That hp curve looks like it would be a fun ride and good for traction, nice and linear.

Those are nice ass numbers Nils. Congrats! I want to cruise in it sometime

Wow, nice flat torque curve throughout the rpm band should pull, pull, and pull some more!

Your lines are so nice and strait no beat to them at all!

wow! im impressed way to go. that tuner of yers is good, that jrs kit honestly aint all that great but yer guy apperently knows his shit.....i know where im going for my stuff now.
