Message	Well, first the good news. I just got back from a morning at the dyno. My car put down 434 to the wheels (pump gas), at only 16.5 psi (all mods are in my profile). Sport 500's, 555's, stillen ic's, etc. The bad news came on the next run when oil begin spewing out the dipstick area. Sigh.... Big sigh. Probably melted a piston. The reason for this..... the last two months since I've had my car back with upgrades the a/f ratio has been 17:1!!! Unbelievable! Anyway, i hadnt even had the boost turned up until a couple of days ago when I was adjusting my avc-r, so I've been boosting at about 12 psi. I put down 371 to the wheels with the BC off. I'm too pissed right now to upload the graphs, all I know is that this was not my ideal Friday. Car might have put down 460 to the wheels at 19 psi. Thanks for listening. Jason
