I was just looking at your site. Cool deal on the home-made billet pedals.

SWEET....So you dropped like 1.8 seconds with the powerdyne so far????
That is great.
Im happy some one finaly has a set up to show what the powerdyne can really do with good boost.
Imagine if you had a torqe converter and a few more pounds???????????
Could be very interesting.

Thanks Laron!!
I think a torque converter would make a very noticeable difference in et. I had one, but sold it before I installed it.
Yep, I went from a 15.4 to a 13.6. But the 15.4 might have been on the street tires (I don't remember for sure though). And the 13.6 was definitely on the bfg's.... But the 15.4 was also with the front shocks on the soft setting for better weight transfer on the launch, and today I left them on the firm setting I use for autocross, so I wasn't getting much weight transfer. So I can't chalk it all up to the PD. But I think most of it I can.
The other difference is I ran with 1/8 tank of gas today, and usually it's almost 1/2 tank. So maybe 30-40lbs of gas = .03-.04 seconds too.\'98 A4 Camaro v6->v8 conversion, and STS kit next<br />v6: 13.6 Powerdyne, 13.2 150 shot, 13.8 120 shot, 14.3 85 shot, 15.7 stock<br />v8(na): 12.18@113, 392rwhp<br />Moderator on <a href=\"http://www.mtfba.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.mtfba.org</a> and <a href=\"http://www.frrax.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.frrax.com</a> (Road Race & Autocross)<br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/johnduncan10\" target=\"_blank\">Car pics</a>, <a href=\"http://www.trscca.com\" target=\"_blank\">TN Region SCCA</a>Comment

hey JD, thanks for the compliment on the pedals, I need to get some better pics of them, but they were easy as cake to make, ok, easier than cake. Back on your topic though, the weight difference between 1/2 tank and 1/8 thank of gas is big, I never fill my car to full because it feels like a dog with all that extra weight. As far as that TC goes, i'm sure it would help for the strip, but I'm not really sure how it would work for autocross. I wish we had an autocross facility up here in maine.98 White T-Top Firebird<br />w/ the crome 5 star rims<br />FRA, Smoothed stock lid,<br />Dynomax Super Turbo Exhaust<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=346111\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=346111</a>Comment
