I've been out of town on a movie, but flew back to California for a couple of days to pick-up my Crossfire from Auto Power Industries after they built the new roll cage. While I was picking-up the car I had a chance to have JBA Racing do two dyno pulls on the car.

What a pain in the A$$... And very depressing !!!

First, I don't think anyone on this forum has actually done a dyno pull on the car otherwise I would have heard the horror stories. As everyone knows, you have to pull the fuse for the traction control which is located in the ECU isolation housing. 3rd small blue fuse (15 amp) from the front. But, there is something else that prevents a full RPM (6,200) run. The car will only hit 5,200 RPM before the engine cuts out. We were unable to figure out what that is and were only able to do runs up to 5,200 RPM.

If anyone knows why the engine cuts and how to bypass it, PLEASE POST !

Anyway, now the depressing part. Bare in mind I had POWERCHIP GOLD 93 installed last year (which advertises 20 hp gain) and have dual CAI. The ambient temp was 72.8 degrees and I was running 93 octane pump gas, both cats are gutted with 02 sensors still in place. Plugs only have 2,000 miles on them.

The best # on the dyno logged 184.5 hp @ 4,785 rpm / 211 ft lbs tq. @ 4,350 rpm. fuel air ratio sucks (very lean) at 14.3 (should be 12.5 +/-) These are some terrible #'s IMO and the opinion of the Dyno tech...

I'm really PO'd at POWERCHIP and am going to be giving them a nice phone call when I get the chance... But I had the ECU done almost a year ago, so I think I'm screw'd.

I'll post the graph and print-out when I get the chance.
