Hi, Guest
It was great meeting Steve and Dan and Pat, and getting to know Simon better, the XR4Ti was everything I thought it would be. Way cool car.
The dyno operators were pretty much what I have come to expect, though they were willing to listen to other ideas, and certainly gave Steve a smokin deal considering how much trouble he had.
I was pleased as punch with my dyno results. I was dreaming of a 170, realistically expecting a 160, and fearing a 150 due to imagined engine damage from a year of abuse as I learned to tune.
I pulled a best of 170hp at 5600rpm, but even more impressive was the double-hump torque curve. First 175 ft-lbs at 2600rpm, then dips to 165 at about 3000rpm, and then back up to a whopping 187ft-lbs at 3700 rpm which hung around to about 4500rpm. It showed the need for an intercooler though, as I lost 6hp by the third run.
