Yes folks, its that time again. Brought to you from Dave T (BADVENM), the grand prize will be a paid one year membership (if you dont already have one) and a one year extension on your membership if you already have one.
Next week at this time (tuesday or wednesday the 10th or 11th) I should have my VEC3, water/meth injection, and new tune(s) from Joe at PBJ amongst other goodies. I will also have Boomers heat exchanger put on.
On a MUSTANG dyno BEFORE the addition of the DC Performance computer and their blower inlet system I obtained 535 rwhp and 543 rwtq which equates to roughly 668/678 at the crank. This was after the "new" motor was installed and tuned. Since then I've done several 1/4 mile runs and one weekend HPDE road race event where I put on a good 120 miles. The motor should be broken in pretty well.
Anyway, I'll be running both a non water/meth tune and a water/meth tune. We'll use the tune WITH the water/meth for the contest. Boost will be the stock 7-8psi.
A small hint, Joe has never had a tune with a Paxton (on a Viper) under 700 rwhp.
Let the guessing begin. If I think of anything else that will be relevant to the contest I'll add it. I may be starting the contest early (but I'm excited that my truck may finally run the way it should.
I may not have e-mail or computer access so either ViperTruck2933 (I think thats him) or Justin can post the results since they're closest to his shop and will be in contact with me as I visit the Saint Louis area.
My guess will be 730 rwhp/700 rwtq
