thats actually really coolIf you guys have one of these early next summer (march) I would make the 15 hour drive (iM guessing) just for the fun. Maybe even bring my car down n/a and get some help installing and street tuning and give some members some money. Dont think I am gonna handle it myself
Good luck
and yes VIDEOS!

Well, we had 4 cars there...
Mine, tested the compression when I arrived...
190 100 190 210
I have been having coolant tank overflow problems lately so the diagnosis is a headgasket issue by cylinder #2.
I went last on the dyno and in 2 runs I think the best #'s were
251 WHP / 235 TQ @ 13psi
Not bad for shitty compression & coolant exploding all over
The other Chris was 1st on the dyno with his ZC powered CRX. Tuning was great on this car. We worked out the initial tuning bugs (and I learned how to drive on a dyno) and I think his car put down ~170 WHP @ 7-8psi with a nice looking torque curve...
Jordan & Alex werent so lucky.
Jordan's car was fine tuning the VAC maps but started smoking wildly as we began to tune the boost portion and my wideband started freaking out (too much oil in the exhaust). Thought it was the turbo but he informed me just the other day that his compression #'s are crazy off now (on a brand new rebuilt motor :thumbdown: ) Because of the spoke, we had to take his car off the dyno as it was untunable.
Alex's car is all sorts of funky. We had MAP sensor issues to start...took forever to figure out his MAP was hooked to a port that had 0 vacuum signal. The dyno hubs were also hitting his CRX calipers so Jeff's dad had to find some spacers so that nothing was hitting. Then as we started to tune...the car was shaking violently so I'm dont think the spacers we working well. That car had so many issues we pulled it off.
I expected there to be some problems and the fact that Jeff hooked us up with good pricing probably made it a little easier for these guys to swallow about not getting tuned that day. I'll hook them up with a street tune later though.
