Having gotten a ride in Skips car, I can say, his new naming idea is right. He
was going to name it Giggles. My reaction was more of a Laugh Out Loud. Great
car, wind in your face, you're sitting on the ground and fantastic power. My
first thought was "this feels stronger than the zo6 autox car I last too a few
runs in".
Power to weight wise it is(?) Skip?
*that zo6 was a generation older model, but had some ad ons, so I'd say 500hp
was about right.
Enjoyed the Open House! Good to see everyone and meet some new faces. Also to
meet people like Zandr, it's interesting when you've seen someone's name and
posts for years but never met them.
Great to see the new digs, which are an impressive upgrade, chat with Teri,
pet Turbodog, and talk miatas. Sorry I missed a few people I wanted to see but
the girlfriend was with me, so we only did the one day. She was sitting in the
rental car just reading trash magazines, which it turned out she was really
enjoying, (she's a prof, so usually reading work) so I could have stayed
longer. Great hiking in the National Monument just outside Grand Junction, we
did about 12 miles to the bottom and back out. Great drive along the rim you
can do too. Saw many bikes, a top down miata up there would give a great view.
Cheers,Ross Kuhns

The HP figures were quoted at their boost levels.
I meant that the engine itself is bone stock, never opened up except to
powdercoat the intake manifold and cam cover. It has the FM exhaust manifold
and BBB. The exhaust has a divorced wastegate tube and is 3" diameter to just
in front of the rear wheels where it splits into two 2" tailpipes. It is the
same exhaust system in both dyno tuning sessions.
I repeat, nothing was changed between dyno runs except the ECU, not even the
spark plugs. No one at FM could come up with a reason for such a large
difference. They normally see around a 40 hp gain when changing from Link to
Hydra & water injection. Jeremy @ FM is a Hydra GENIUS! Thanks Jeremy.

I find that difficult to believe, seriously! I haven't opened the PDF yet.
