Well I didn't have shit to do so I thought, lets see what kind of hp numbers this thing can pull before I start my built motor. So I show up and there are a couple of stock mustangs and a modded trans am there. The mustangs already went and the trans am was on the rack. It made 328 hp just motor, and then 516 on the bottle. I was like holy shit! So then I'm up, they don't leave they decide to hang out and see what the "import" pulls. I'm like great, I am going to look like ass. First run 190hp, which is kinda what I expected being the motor has been bitchy lately. The guy shows mw the a/f ratio, its so rich its not even on the freaking chart!!! So I back off the fuel pressure and lean out the vafc. 2nd and 3rd run 239 hp, I gained 50 hp just by leaning that bitch out. The dyno guy was amazed as was the other guys there, especially since it was only on 9psi! It put down more power than the stock 5.0 was, I was stoked. So today I decided instead of building a low compression motor, I am going stock with some good headwork and lots of tuning. Gonna look into an good ems, now I am willing to spend $1500 on an ems. Sorry so long and jumbled, but I can't believe I have been driving a 190whp civic for a year and a half, when $60 would have gotten me 240whp. Since that is around 280ish at the crank, I'm not going to push it past that seeing that most people say a stock b16a can only take about 300-350hp.
Base run
Second run (peak)
3rd run
My only gripe was that as you can see, they had trouble getting a good rpm reading off my wires.
