Right @ the 95 and Lake Mead Blvd - Rebel Gas. They've never been out that I know of...

That's where I live...:unibrow:

Could put in the bigger cam and drop dynamic, but I don't want the bigger cam. This is the first engine I've ever "designed" that came up needing more than 91 octane, but it happens.

The HP fell before 6000 instead of after (like on the engine dyno) because the 90mm TB is starving the engine of air at that level. The 102mm should help with that.

Only looking to drop it 4/10ths of a point.. we are just outside the 91 octane range. To be honest if I lived in a 93 octane state without all the crap additives we have here in CA I would most likely be fine. Here the next step from 91 is 100.. which sucks.

Anyways, just a temp problem that can be fixed.. for now I will enjoy the sweet smeels eminating from my tailpipes.. :)

Awesome, Awesome car Steve!

Is your Dynamic around 8.75? Estimated it by looking at your specs..

Intake closing is?

The magic number for 91 octane is what under 8.25?

But SEMA waits for nobody.. lol

New wheels are on the car and she goes tomorrow to dyno tune then back to BOS so we can finish up all the little stuff.

Shaun Dove (TwinSting) over at EVOD showed me a new deal he is doing. In short he has a way to cast emblems now. So he took my Bad Penny logo, scanned it, made it 3Dish and then made centercaps for my wheels.

He said he ca do this with any logo or car name and the cost for the entire set of custom one-off center caps is only about $250. Considering the billet Forgeline caps run $200 that's a hell of deal.

He can color them many ways, these he used a dye to give the patina copper look.

He can also do one off emblems as well (like if you had a car name or something) for under a hundred bucks.

I would have to look.. static is about 11.5:1 -- which isn't bad at all. After talking with Mast we think it just needs a better tune.

Or we could put in the more aggressive cam which would lower the dynamic

And our 91 here is crap in the summer.. (and winter really)
