congrats. Once you break 330, you won't want to go back under 300.

The slower the acceleration the less air the engine excepts.

You look like your just tapping that same powerband like I had from 7,000 to 8,500 except your RPM tune is higher port wise. You see how your TQ jumps at that same RPM, its comming on like a 2 stroke but better. Kinda like a periff port likes 8,000 plus. Im not telling you to do it but if conditions ar correct it might come on like this

I think all the time spent researching and mods trials did not come to fruition. I’m contemplating listing the car on eBay…NOT!

Many thanks to:

That's an awesome result!

Free Diving... for something that big; here is my list.

1 - Ryuku Islands; Okinawa etc. I have seen Volkswagon sized grouper down past 100 FSW
2 - Kwajalien; Marshall Islands
3 - Palau
4 - Hawaii; can be done; but kind of rare here.

Allof these spots assume the right gun and a 3+ minute breath hold.

very nice pulls guys...
I hhad a little problem today going to my parents house for a funeral... So I come around a bend of the highway Im on, knowing where the cops would sit if there were any and hoping traffice was all clear, and both of those wishes were granted, so I decide to run it,,, built from about 73mph and eased into it in fifth gear,,, so the mphs start to climb and shes pulling real smooth everythin looks and sounds as expected, then,,,, ka-blamo hit 119mph and something went,,, real loud noise, and my boost gauge ******* pegged at 15lbs, with all the warning lights(of the gauge that is, no CELS),,, totally scared the **** out of me, swalled my heart in my throat and eased off immediately...
Have no idea what happened, and spent the rest of the ride out of boost.... After the funeral I started to test boost and finally built enough courage to ease into the 6-7lb range,,, nothing sounded outta wack or felt no sign of a problem ,,, anyone want to take a stab at it...
Ohh and here are two screen shot from the ride,,, first image hit 332g/s(real strong second gear pull) and the second is from the high speed incident....
Please,,, if anyone has any insight to what may have happened please suggest something....

You wanna try explaining that one? (I presume you meant "accepts".)
The slower the rate of engine acceleration, the more air it will ingest.
That is one of the reasons motors make their most power in higher gears.

That thread is for base kit results. It is intended to show "out-of-the-box" results, not optimized examples.
Otherwise, the comparo would be worthless (and quickly get out of control). Water/meth and smaller pulleys exempt the results.
Can you imagine the mayhem that would result if I posted one of the maxed-out dynos from the MM system?

Were you spraying W/M and, if so, what are your mix ratios?
Your load was fairly low (~130%) for such a rich AF, too.
You need to have your 5/6 fuel table tuned.
