Indeed! That looks like about a 60ftlb improvement at 5000rpm. That's a lot. Once you get it dialed in, it will be a monster.

Hey everyone we went on a cruise last night. A buddy of ours puts on these cruises about twice a month and this went wild when he put it on face book. We had about 300 cars last night, and my buddy rode with me so the old ford was right in front. I figured a lot out last night driving around. I need to pull alot of my acceleration enrichment fuel out. If I smash the throttle down fast it goes super rich and can't recover. That's what was happening in my dyno pulls. This engine loves about 12.5:1afr and no richer. If I would tip into the throttle and let the turbo start to spool then hammer it it was a monster. I trashed a honda 2000, new GTO (I really hurt his feelings) and my buddies subaru. It would spool up in second gear (E40D trans) and the truck would just slide around like it was on ice. I found that compression is not going to be a problem. That thing ran perfect all night, I abused it, drove it 30 miles home and there was not a drop underneath it this morning. That was a huge victory to me!! Plus my head is very swollen today because the old ford completely stole the show. My hood was open the whole time with ooohs and awwws. One thing a motor head loves to do is brag about himself, his knowledge and his TRUCK. ESPESCIALLY WHEN IT HAS A Y IN IT!!!

Thanks guys, I was still buzzing all day today. Here is a little teaser video I will try to get some rip roaring video tomorrow. I had just started it after it was sitting for a while so you can see the water that spit out the exhaust from the E85. Sometimes that thing when its cold will throw just a pile of water out. I hope the audio is ok.

Robi, glad to hear you're getting a handle on that beast. That's a Mean,Green, Machine! The 250 Lb Hr injectors might be a little tough to sort out at part throttle but sounds like you're getting close.
