I'm back to Steeda's dyno tomorrow to finalize the water-meth tune ... my first go round suffered from a mis-assembled WMI injector (my fault, not Steeda's) and so being tuned with zero water-meth I only have a base tune that suffered from the exceptionally high IATs the water meth was supposed to cure ... losing in the neighbourhood of 10 to 12 degrees of timing.
In the meantime I insulated the entire air passage including the snorkel, the air box, and intake tube ... and I moved the WMI injector from the body of the s/c to before the TB, to give the water more time to do it's cooling effect ... so I'm hoping for significant improvements to my IAT.
In terms of the tune, so far so good ... now with an insulated intake and a fully operating WMI it pulls really strong even with the very safe, very conservative base tune ... it's nice to have 6 psi of boost right off idle ... so I've got my fingers crossed for 200, but I'll be happy with 185-190 ... and I suppose that even 170 to 175 would be realistic ... I just hope it cools down a bit tomorrow.
Pat was good in the first session and was excellent in slotting me back in and without a major hit to the pocketbook ... so far I would have to say the experience has been very good ... I'll let you know my final assessment after tomorrow.
Sorry to wander OT like that.
