I really want to see that dyno of your car with that ported cylinder head you got under there and how it affects the power band..should be very interesting especially with your upgraded turbos..

Sure man, my cousin's husband with his modded 2010 GTI is coming down from Ottawa as well and he'll be dynoing his beast there too..I'll try to finally get some race gas this time around and do a proper pull

thanks brotha...got the new beta maps from shiv this morning, hopefully roads have dried a bit and I can test for that high RPM misfire under WOT again with some decent traction top of 3rd

are you going to champion to dyno? John has some solid numbers there with his RBs + meth on JB4: 489HP/500TQ :

That's the plan..john's car baselines around 20whp higher than mine on that same dyno so it'll be interesting to see how we stack up..coming out there with us Feb 26?
