Sunday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76. South wind between 10 and 15 mph.

Only 30! I should have it done by then, or finish in the garage if necessary, then off fishing.

I don't think a 30 percent chance of rain is much of anything to worry about. The main chance of rain will be later in the afternoon and evening anyway.

Well guys another great dyno day at Brenspeed.

On the very first pull when first hitting WOT in 4th, my clutch slipped.... But after that, the next two pulls were fine.

Darrell, I loaded the standard mail-order Saleen tune from Brent and ran the dyno with my 18" DD chromes on..... the car pulled 453 rwhp and 425 tq!

Good numbers. Sounds like your not to far away from that new clutch. What tune do you run most of the time?

I've been running the mail-order tune for a few weeks...... idle is a tad smoother and the power is there for sure.

Yes, the standard "mail order" tune that he sends out with the Saleen kits. In comparison to the custom tune they did back in January....... The mailed tune is just as strong if not stronger, and my air/fuel on the dyno yesterday was razor flat and hung right around 11.8 to 12.0.

thats good to know. Glad Brenspeed's Dyno when good.

I was at my Ford Dealers Mustang days. They are now a dealer for Saleen and Roush. They had a Saleen S7 and a Demo of the new Raptor. Also they had the Saleen Hertiage (only 25 made) with 625hp, The Dan Gurney Saleen, A Parelli Jones Saleen, 3 Roush R427's, A Black Bullet, A Red Shelby GT 500, A couple of Shelby's GT, and a white Calf. Special.

Tom I found the seats you need in the Dan Gurney

So, how's everyone's holiday weekend going so far? The picnic today was pretty good other than a light rain shower that lasted maybe 10-15 minutes and then it cleared and warmed right up. Overall, not too bad compared with what I've been through before.

Tom had Corsa's early on. Not sure of the model # though. And I believe he ran it with an offroad X pipe if memory serves correctly.

Yes, I ran them with the Pypes offroad H for about a year. I liked them..... by comparison to the Borlas they are a tad louder and a much more exotic sound; not as low of tone but still very muscular.

If you search the GT tech forum for Borla vs. Corsa, I believe I posted a bunch of vids there last year.
