In other news, 2130-0600 shift with thur-fri off sucks. Hope to see pics from this coming weekend!
Plugs are like $55 from advance auto parts. They always have a coupon for 25 off 75 or something like that. Then just go pick them up. Look into it. Shady probably knows more

here is my observation on the dyno numbers... Missy with a 170 won for NA (stock no tune) Shady for bewsted and mostly-tuned (insert number) 9ks run was all over the place and needs moar tune... the numbers based on the 2 sheets that Missy received possibly left up to +30hp off the readings for the rest of us... her first run showed 138 but they could not get the RPM lead connected to a coil wire, for the dyno to read consistently. They ran her car again but had the HP calculated off the roller speed (MPH) instead of engine speed and she got a 170... or its all BS and what the hell do I know cause I got a 167 (tuned NA)...but my AFRs and power curve did come out smooth... LOL...

It was a mobile dynojet, according to some of the speed 3 dudes that particular dyno gives weird readings all the time.

Which is why that brand new speed 3 with a tune, cat delete, intake and bov, only pulled 240.

And the bone stock R3 pulled 140.

No. As far as I am concerned. I just don't see a low mileage R3 with just a RB catback only making 144HP. If I had to guess I would say it was off 30-50HP. So that means Shady is close to 300WHP which is respectable especially since he had some rich spots that could e tuned out.

I think Houston learned something as well, I think he has a actuator problem on the VDI. Notice the dip in the graph.
