Took Al to the dyno yesterday '84-533i

Post by bbaxter »

Spent six hours on the dyno yesterday. That went over really well on Mothers Day!! Wired the wide-band and programmed the Mega Squirt. Just took Michelle for a ride. The cam's and the boost both kick in about the same time. Michelle's comment was" Oh wow, I can feel that !" Pulled 376/305. I'm happy with that. Feels really strong and smooth. bbaxter

Just rebuilt the S50 that's been in the car for the past 11 years. Forged internals, 264/270 cams, AA supercharger (12 psi), mega-squirt computer. I did splurge on a CAE shifter. A miss shift would just ruin my day. bbaxter

Seems like a nice driving and manageable setup.

I think there is more to do but pretty happy with the setup.
Really liked having the AEM Uego X gauge connected via CANBus; no more grounding errors.
