[QUOTE="Wild Horses, post: 1451402, member: 19251"] Alright... Update for anyone who runs into these issues on the street or on the dyno. It was a combination of 4-5 little things but I’m pretty sure it was mostly 2 of them. I’m talking about power loss like a belt slip feeling but it’s actually losing timing. First thing I found was a bolt in the intake valley setting off the knock sensors. Figured that was it. But then I noticed the poly motor mounts had MELTED and sunk the motor down which had the oil pan laying on the steering rack. I’m sure that wasn’t helping. Then LUCKILY my Anderson power pipe came in THE DAY BEFORE I drove all the way back out for the tune revision and I found the Vortech inlet coupler folded inward toward the impeller under the clamp at the bottom so I couldn’t see it. I am so glad I ordered that power pipe when I did so I could find that issue. I also found my after-cooler hose was KINKED. I thought the pump was going bad because it was humming so loud but it’s completely fine now. Addressed all the issues, swapped the new power pipe on and ended up making 510/470 at the wheels with IATs in the 130s. The first tune was 440/411 with IATs way up in the 150s. The curve consistent as hell too. Huge success and for the first time, this build is DONE. She is a such a BEAST too. [/QUOTE]
