and she is alive! so I took her up to HPP yesterday morning around 11am and they got her right on the dyno. got her all strapped down and going on the rollers and Manny (HPP owner) noticed my temperature was idling at 210* on a 60* day. he told me "hey man, we got some issues, im not going to dyno this car at 210* with your setup. i have 1000hp TT cobras that temps idle at 160* all day."
so i thought that was the end of my day. so i asked what we needed to do and he told me he believed I needed a new thermostat and possibly a radiator. sooooo i was like WOW thats going to be another 500ish dollars. so my dad and I go in the office to talk some numbers and after my tune ($350, initial tune, all other tunes after this are $75 for unlimited pulls), aluminum radiator ($350), thermostat, fluids, labor, and little things, the total would be $1116.. i almost cried. then my dad said, okay lets do it haha. i didn't know what to say...
sooooooo they swapped radiators, thermostat, new fluid. that took about an hour but then i had a line infront of me for the dyno. so i waited from about 3 oclock to about 7:30 until my car got on the dyno. first run, IMRC's didnt open (IMRC's will be deleted next time I go, he said I have another 10-15hp in it alone with those being deleted), second run, it laid down 271 hp, 281tq. third run, 287hp and 287tq. finally, the fourth run laid down 289hp and 287tq.
sooooo im pretty happy. there are still a few small issues but I believe I can fix them. the car is SLAMMED, i adjusted the front coilovers but not quite enough. and also, when im coming to a stop and my RPMs are above 2k or so and press the clutch in, my car will die. so im thinking I have a vacuum leak somewhere or its a TPS sensor or something... not quite sure. I drove it 45 miles though last night without the hood on from their shop haha.. it feels awesome to have my car back though. I also have an exhaust leak which I think happened when I put the car on the trailer (header hit the bottom of the trailer).
WHOOOOOOOO! :thumbsup:
