We are back home now. Had to exercise a lot of restraint  especially when this Genesis Coupe pulled up next to me and down shifted trying to get my attention. Car's running great. It does have a drone at certain rpms under load. May have to look at a better exhaust option later on.

I'll take a closer look at it when we get home and am putting in the grommet.

Once again, excellent work Paul. Thanks for everything, I'll hopefully have the engraving done next week. I have to see if the machine is tied up or not

After engraving and filling of the engraving I would throw a few wet coats of duplicolor engine clear coat on it....

Good call. I'll get a can.

So today I got to experience the LSD in the snow. I have to say that I'm impress with how the car handled, even with the increased torque and starting off in first gear.

Nice having 2 wheel drive in the snow isn't it...

Damn it now I want a lsd for my car.

Yes it is

Yes you do

Think i may have to brave the cold one of these days to trace down some fuel issues.  Best case i find something with the regulator plumbing, worst case i have to pull the mani to check the injectors.

To rule out the tune, i went back to the original Cal that Paul loaded and it still has an issue starting after a hour.

Progress tracking using VDyno software. This is being used to solely as a means to track gains. Each VDyno run is being done in as similar condition as possible. I'll try to do the same when I put it on an actual dyno. The dyno results will then be compared to the VDyno results so all results can be adjusted accordingly. Results from a dyno maybe lower or higher than VDyno, but from what I've seen, it should be pretty close.

Base after tuning


J36 so far

It was 90* with 70%humidity. I was sweating my balls off loading calibrations lol. There maybe another video somewhere out there taken by the owners buddy, but here's one I took. The others, I had my fingers in my ear. Between the exhaust, intake and rollers it was deafening.

That's why I bring ear plugs or some sort of hearing protection when my car is on the dyno.

Happy with those numbers?

[Rich01]

I had no expectations really, so yes.  We wanted to compare cals. to see best readings instead of doing it on the street. I also have a street log from the same time to compare to the virtual dyno that I've been using. On a side note, according to the Internet, if I add 12-15% to the Dyno Dynamics readings I'll  have Dyno Jet readings so that's 310+whp.

I think that people assume that all dynos read the same. That's just not true. Even two dynos from the same manufacturer that have been calibrated properly won't read the same. People use dynos as a dick measuring device instead of a tool to measure changes in the tune/parts bolted on.

[Rich01]

Exactly. I'm not a number whore. The car pulls hard and will eat my tires if I'm not careful. I'm happy and like to surprise the hell out of people when I hit the gas lol.
