you've never seen Charles R Hill's dyno sheet?
I had his car on a dyno here in SoCal last January and it was a beast. If it's okay with Nemesis I'll post it here. Might give him something to shoot for with his car...

Let's wait until I get mine broken in and dynoed... I don't want to be upstaged by the ah powerful RotaryGod port project!

Nemesis, Will there be less smell with the Davesport 100cpi CAT than running a straight pipe?

Not sure, but you would think it would be way better. Maybe swoope could chime in on that question.

I am doing to this for the wife BTW. Tired of the straight pipe complaints

My wife has made a few comments to me about the smell. I can deal with it but if she is saying something then I know it is bad. Her main complaint is the smell filtering into the house.

Minor Setback - Hopefully

Paul can fix it - damaged APV sleeve in shipping. The bolt also broke earlier this month.

Fixing it will be replacing the pieces - no problem at all.

Bah hell! It broke during shipping?? How the heck did that happen? I had it boxed up a way where I was trying to keep anything from hitting or stacking on those two sleeves!

Remember Jim Carey's opening scene of Pet Detective? That's how.

Do you have one of the small pins also? I will be in Michigan next week, so if you want to send the stuff direct to Paul, that would be cool. I'll discount that resonator down to nothing for you!

It's not easy to ship. You need to build a wood box, diassemble the sleeves, or use an oversize heavy cardboard box and a ton of packing.

Bummer - Dan just said that his two spare sleeves are cracked in the same spot. He does have the linkage arms and the connecting shoulder bolts. Looks like I need a sleeve.

That's a good backup plan...cause they are an easy swap to put them on
