Les, the only things that Jerry or any dyno tuner can do is alter timing and fuel. What else is there? I am waiting for results from the headers but Squirrel Crusher, whose car Rob has, is supposedly "highly modified and the headers are already on the car so go figure. It makes sense that headers help a modified car and not a stock one but I have asked SC what mods his car has with no response. I'll ask Rob if I have to. Hopefully Rob does a before and after and lists the "Highly Modified" parts. I can't imagine what these mods could be. Unless he has the modified heads and cams he wouldn't have anything anyone else here who has a lot of mods, nothing different.
Question, did the remote dyno tune make 22HP over an email tune or over the stock tune from Mercedes/Chrysler? I really need to know what mods SC has because if I am basing my decision on purchasing headers on what the dyno shows from a "Highly Modified" car that would not be fair.
One thing I want is Woody's 172* T-stat mod. I wish he would make me one and sell it to me. I'll have to re-read his instructions again and see if I follow what he did. Puerto Rico must get hot also. I noticed my needle go higher this summer compared to winter when the temps drop to the 80 degree mark and cool at night. Somebody told me about the old stage 3 mod and it was 4 holes drilled into the t-stat, that I can handle. Of course the fan would have to start operating sooner also, maybe Woody does something so the fan thinks it is at the temp to run as I don't think it goes down to 170*. maybe a rheostat in line?
I will get the new injectors I bought off ebay and hope they work with out cars. The dimensions are the same and the seller said some guys with the AMG's have used them. New injectors for $200.
I would say your motor is highly modified, what do you have that others do not?
I am not familiar with SC motors, turbo's yes. Tricks to hasten the spool. launched at 10psi out of the 25psi I was running. I don't know what to do with this motor. Besides boost and maybe some exhaust work what am I missing. The intake manifolds do not impress me for the dollar. I see on Rob's site where they made 40HP but I don't think anyone with them has made that much power. I refer to how I feel as "Fall fever". This is the time of year where it cools and the car can run better but I want some other mods! Thanks for the response Les, mark
