Dyno tuned the cam gears!!!
Well...hit the dyno today! I can say that Im very pleased with the results!
I had a total of 15 runs...including a new baseline before I started any tuning.
I then started tuning the exhaust cam... -1,-2,-3. The power at -2 and -3 was teh same..no gaines so I left it at -3 on the exuats cam.
Then I moved to the intake side and tired +1,+2,+3,+4...and kept making power! Crower said +/-4 is max before piston/valve contact..so I left it at +4.
I then went back to the exhaust..and tired -4 and gained yet some more!
Heres the horsepower results!

...and the Torque results!

Not too bad at all huh?
My nly other question is - does the top end seem "restriced" by something since it ended up in the same place as before? Maybe its time for a better header and bigger TB?

I did get an A/F Ratio read out as well.
I think the top end is a little on the lean side.
Heres all the condition info and A/F Ratios:
Acceleration from 2600 to 6900RPM, interval = 100.00RPM
Absolute barometric pressure : 28.55 in.Hg.
Vapor pressure : 0.29 in.Hg.
Intake air temperature : 101.5 °F

Is that too lean in the top end? The guys at the dyno told me that is about right...should I shoot for around 13.5?

I'm gonna assume your running some sort of cams...and maybe you should upgrade to a set of 240cc or so depending on how wild your cams are..
14.0 is lean but isn't it isn't crazy lean. You can try bumping up fuel pressure a pound or two or richen it up a tad if you have a fuel controller.
I always start with intake cam gear first by the way. then go exhaust.

I went down to Street Flight in Tempe. The guys down there are way cool...I got charged $100 for one hour - even though I was there for an hour and a half and got 15 runs in!
As for Speedworld...were you in the white ITR with a guy in a white Prelude?

Yeah I went to Street Flight the day of the speedworld race those dudes are cool. We all weighed are cars on their corner balancing scales also. I didn't even see a white one there I was in the black one with the hid's(might of noticed since it was night time) I just saw the yellow supercharged one otherwise known as ITR 702 on this board. You didn't see the black one?

Awesome. I especially love the fat torque curve!
