no, i just didn't think you really took it up that high, when i first read it.....
Well you caught me. I only took it up to 91
Ok, that's not totally true. 91 is what most people cruise at on the interstate. I did manage to get it up to 100.
Well after I got going that fast it didn't seem right to slow down just yet. I mean it was very early and nobody was around, not even any houses on this highway. So I managed another 10mph and a few more ponies.
Now anyone who's ever hit it in 4th gear knows that you can't stop once you past 110. It's hard to even think past that speed, let alone take your foot off the gas. I think I might have blacked out for a split second and let off when I saw the speedo hitting 120.
Now I did say I went 119, but I actually let up around 118 because the hp went down quick on the next recording. I only post this pic because Hammeron called BS on me and I can't have that hanging over my head.

I had to teach Hammeron not to call BS on me! If I can't get a picture of it, i'm sure I can photoshop something.
By the way the gauge keeps atleast the last recorded parameters in memory. I didn't know this until Hammeron called me out. I should really read the instructions completely, no telling what else it can do.
Aeroforce should pay me to pimp their product so much.

Where did you buy this gauge the more I hear you talk about it the more I want one . Oh yea does it read air / fuel.
I bought the gauge directly from aeroforce. I believe www.lethalperformance.com has a good deal on them though. It can only display things that the car has a sensor for, so anything the pcm can see, you can see. It can display air/fuel if you buy an air/fuel sensor that has a control with it. It has two analog connections for additional sensors like air/fuel, boost or oil pressure.

I just installed my air/fuel gadge 2 days ago and I have a gauge for everything else but what caught my eye was the mph , timming , and hp .Do you know if you can get it in a silver face? I will call them tomarrow but I though you might already Know. Thanks , Billy

I'm pretty sure they have silver.

EBR - check out their website... they have 4 face and 4 bezel colors if I remember.

Moose is yours considered black or silver because the face is black and the rim is silver...
The face is black, the bezel is silver.

So I had a chance to do a full pull to 6000-6100 or so. In record mode.... I got a max of
547 HP
my dyno sheet at 6000 is 411 so that is a difference of 136 HP or 24.8%. Seems a bit much to me. If you figure loss to the blower of 35HP ( as per Vortech) and drivetrain loss of 12% (5spd) that would = 450 RWHP. A difference of nearly 10%.
Thoughts ? Comments?

What were the conditions when you had the car dynoed? I'd expect any car to make more hp on the stree at 90mph than on a dyno with a big fan blowing on it, especially a car that relys on an intercooler.
I was going to figure a 15% drivetrain loss just to be safe. Anyway shouldn't your car be making around 450rwhp with the HO vortech? Isn't it pushing 10psi or no?
I think your dyno results are a little low for the vortech HO kit, 430's seem to be the norm. I will get mine dynoed this Friday and we can compare. I've thought about swapping the pulleys to see if I get less hp with the 8, but i'd have to do a run with each on the same day. That's to much work for me.
