Finally threw the car on the Dyno!!!
So its been about a month since I ran into that big issue with my crank pulley popping off on me but my baby is finally back up and running! We threw it on the dyno last night and did a few pulls on MS 101 fuel. The weather was nice and cool. Somewhere around the mid to low 50's.
We did the first pull in 5th because I was told by Weistec that it was the only gear that's 1:1 and that will be able to put a full load on the motor.
The car made 561whp and after that we decided to do 4th gear pulls because it was a little scary taking the car to 185 mph on the dyno. The second pull made 592whp and after letting the car cool for a bit we got 614whp on the last pull.
I am very pleased with the car's result and I just got some MT drags radials mounted to go have a little fun this weekend.
Wanted to thank the people at Weistec and Michael at MHP for all their help and for making such awesome products.

Yeah that's what Anthony from Weistec told me also but he also said doing a pull from 4th would read lower numbers which my car did that opposite. The first video was a 5th gear pull but the other two were done in 4th.

Yes, the ECU is reflashed by Weistec.
As of right now, the tranny is holding up but I haven't had the blower on it for very long. I am dreading for the day the clutch plates start slipping which I'm sure isn't too long from now. The car has 64k miles on it and about 1000 of it is with the blower installed.

I'm debating on getting a fine tune on the car just to see if it will make more power and clean up the power curves. Anyone know the closes shop to Oklahoma that will do a good job at tuning the car, or should I just leave it the way it is since it seems to pull great numbers for the upgrades?

My tranny lasted 5 days with less miles on it. Be prepared. I'd probably do it sooner than later if summer is coming for you. Sucks to be down in summer.
Can you post a graph? Was this done in sae correction?
