Numbers Are In!

So my tork tech terminator kit with a 2.93 pulley put down 405rwhp and 425rwtq. I need to go back for a retune because I ran out of fuel and need a boost a pump.

Also,my IATs are 142 at idle, does anyone know what could cause this? My tuner said they should be around 120. It was also nearly 90 degrees today, would that make the IATs higher?

Very nice numbers! Got a graph to post?

I'd say those IAT numbers are fine. At idle, you aren't moving much air through the blower. Therefore, it has a decent amount of time to pick up heat from the blower. Even at idle, that blower gets pretty warm. Just stick your hand on it after it's been running a while....

What are they during the runs? That's a lot more important.

On my non-intercooled M112 setup, 140 is actually pretty decent at idle. I've datalogged lots of complete runs with methanol. They'll usually start at around 140-150, then come down to 100-110 by the end of the run, and as soon as the methanol kicks off, even without pushing actual boost through the blower (i.e. idling or low rpm/low load cruising), the temps start heading back up from all the underhood heat soak. It'll be back to 140 within a few minutes.

Also, the IAT sensor HAS to be on the blower/manifold. Tuning a car without knowing the downstream IATs will yield either 1) a blown motor, or 2) a motor that is leaving about 50 horsepower on the table.

just did some more driving today. I have my cooling system plumbed correctly now. seems to want to stay around 136 in stop and go traffic once the car is up to temperature. When i come off the highway they go up to 150 but once i get back into city traffic again they are down to 136. Sometimes higher and sometimes lower.
