Update from my homey Tony, the idle and midrange is complete. He is now working on the top end and big numbers. He said everything looks good with my fuel system right now along with all the other parameters.

I dont have any other information, and expect more info in a couple hours

****Update from TONY****

521hp/600tq @ 80% throttle, one thing of note, my TCU will need to be sent back to EC as the TQ mgmt needs to be raised in the TCU. You can see where it is controlling the TQ......

No spray yet, and we are seeing 145* IATS with the 195mm pulley.

I do remember on C16, with my 180mm pulley, we saw IATS at 139* at the top of the pull.

More to come

600 on the dyno jet is looking likely!

Torque wins the race. Great #s on just 80% throttle!

I will wait and see what it does when we pack the res with ice and hit the nitrous for cooling. If they are still sky high, then it will probably be best to step down to a 190 or 185.

Who knows, maybe on the bottle a 175mm might be the answer

Uggh. I was in yesterday (one of my cutouts was stuck open) and they had your beast on the dyno. It sure sounded epic.

Belt started slipping last night on the dyno, jumped off the pulley, and wrapped itself around the back of the crank pulley. This all happened at 80% throttle. Damaged my keyway badly to the point that I need a new one. Part of the crank pulley also got damaged and needs to be replaced, and was told the pulley got jostled pretty badly during this whole incident.

Needless to say, the crank pulley, belt, keyway all needs to come off now and have the motor started. The crank will be looked at when running to see if it is still straight and not all f****d up.

NOT HAPPY AT ALL

My TCU is also acting up, so that needs to be shipped out again.

Sad to hear. They joys of pushing the limits don't come without their struggles. Best of luck.

Thanks man, me been a very technical person, accountant by profession, it is very important for me to know what caused it, why did it happen, and how can it be prevented from happening again.

The million dollar question is, no pun intended, what is the cost of the damage
