As long as you keep it low and slow you will be OK..did you just put in bigger p2's?

georgeh at Surgeline:





Compare with Team's, attached, at Salt Lake City at 220/144. On my current tune, I have pulled ~230 gm/s at ~8600 RPM in 3rd gear, and I had more RPM to go...

So what are you guys guessing again?

ps: I hope I break 200 lolz

I'm onto you .....

usually when we guess high we get it wrong so if we say 200 then you will break 220 . See the logic ?

I want to leave this event knowing, that this was not about that final number, but more about the smoothness of the curve, and meeting up with a great group of Mazda owners once again.

If I make it past my last dyno on my low compression motor, I will be happy.

Yeah, 160/113 sucked for sure.

This motor is solid for sure, but I hear weird intake sounds. Not sure if it is just me, but the ported motor should sounds different.

Nemesis I am hoping you pull at least 210. I'd love to see more than 220.

My mods:

Corksport Catback
Custom midpipe with Davesport cat
AP
AEM intake
Underdrive pulley

That's it.

For the record, as shown in the graph above, I made 210, not 220. A header presumably would have allowed 220, as my torque curve falls off above 8,000 rpm, unlike Mark's.

Another thing - I made 210 in the summer of 2009, and 210 again this summer, but the Surgline guys said I should have made 220 this year, as the dyno was reconditioned over the winter and had less rolling resistance, so the power numbers should have gone up, all other things being equal. It's one of the reasons I believe my motor is in decline (although still on the strong side of that decline).

Hope you guys have a great time. I'd come by but I'll be in Vegas.

My hot start issues continue to get worse. I need to de-carbon and look at the plugs, although both the plugs & coils were replaced last spring.

Thanks for the info GeorgeH. I did not intend to overstate you numbers Not sure where I got 220. Too bad you can not make it but Vegas is a great place to hangout.

I guess I'd better pack winter clothes.
