Message observations...

What was your timing set at for each of these runs?
Do you have the charts with A/F?
How did you manage to get the wastegates to hold 24psi all the way through the run? It has been my personal experience that the wastegate springs in these wastegates will not hold more than 21 psi on the dyno.

Did you do any NOS runs without freezing the ICs?


I am aware of many instances where cars have gained 75 HP or more by freezing the IC alone, nothing more. IMHO, this is not a real-world number. You know that I like your car, and that I get along fine with you. But, the freezing-the-IC number is not really representative of real-world power, and if you do it often enough, and/or with a hot enough core/end tanks, you will end up with cracks. Again, not hating on you, just want to throw my 2 cents into the ring. Most of the people on here these days in all likelihood don't even know who I am or what I do or do not know, or what I am about. I haven't been one to toot my horn on the board that much. That said, to tell you the truth, I will dyno my car again one day soon. I would certainly consider hosing down the IC's, if for no other reason than to see how the benefits of the cooled intake charge parlay onto the charts. However, the charts I will post as 'representative' of my cars' ability will be:

1) the pump gas chart with boost and timing set at what I run it on the street on pump

2) the race gas chart with boost and timing set at what I run it on the street on race fuel (unleaded)

That said, good job again on the car. The widebody looks great!
