Mother's Day Meltdown Open House/Dyno Day 5/9/09

The day started with me almost missing the 12:30 showing of Star Trek. I miss calculated the time it would take me take me for me to get there. I did leave until almost noon to what would normally be 30-40 min drive. I popped the car into "S-mode" and got there in about 20 min. I rode the car pretty hard and it was either because of that or when my car put on the dyno that I noticed that my rear diffuser of my driver side exhaust pipe had melted! Then on the way home, a clamp from my upper intercooler pipe became loose and I lost all boost. Had to fix that when I got home. I guess you have pay to play right?

I got to Mach V pretty late. Most of the cars had left by then and the only people that were left were the ones waiting to go on the dyno. The car ended up doing 259HP 7 262TQ, which I don't think is that bad considering I only have a catback exhaust. I'll throw some pics from the dyno in the gallery and you can watch my pull below. By the way, Star Trek is a movie definitely worth seeing!!!
