I will be leaving really early tomorrow morning.

Also did a few datalogs and the tune is not lean now. I may have the fastest tune of day. Get strapped down. Jeff does a run and says WTF?! I just tuned this hooptie 2 months ago and everything looks the same

This is not my video but this is what the boost gauge is doing with the engine running and turned off.

is that the prosport gauge too? mine does/used to do that occasionally. its not permanent, it comes and goes. lately mine has been working and cooperating fine though.

try moving the sensor in the engine around or just wait it out it should eventually go back to normal.

Due to a false start I deleted the old thread and started a new "guess the WHP" thread here :

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/socal-ultimate-dyno-day-guessing-whp-game-212247/

Using a live spreadsheet was kinda fun but there was a fatal flaw in that idea .

Well - you could write whatever you like in the squares and after playing change the numbers tag with you last night and then someone later coming in and writing all sorts of BS in the cells ..............

And people can change their guesses all they want until Friday night.

The sheet's public accessibility expires Friday night.

However , it seems you are happy to take over the concept and run with it .

So i'll delete my new thread to avoid confusion .

Anyone can, indeed jack the sheet up pretty badly (though they can only get the link here).
But it is only one click to redemption.

You can go in and edit it too, you know. (hint/nudge)

Brettus: can you bring back the thread? c'mon, it's a great idea and I think it'll be fun.
People can either post their numbers in the thread or use the spreadsheet, we'll just take whatever numbers are there friday night and use those for the weekend festivities.

Hell I was going to have fun with the spread sheet......Since I will be without any slot machines or a sports book for the whole week end, I figured I could make some money out of Jedi
