    463 and 502. Thats what the math says anyway. lol
    Considering the crappy head, that would be pretty impressive.

    Man, I'd be impressed. The head isn'tall that bad, cumbustion chamber design leaves a lot on the table.

    Ok, so after trying to get the software guys to help me to no avail, I had to use BE 2010. Even though I paid to subscribe and it worked before my hd crash. Anyway, BE 2010 wouldn't data log, I couldn't get it to show rpm, the car was running like crap. I cleared the ram on the quarterhorse and made a few adjustments and got everything working and got the datalogs to playback in eec analyzer. What a pita. After much screaming, wishing bad things to happen to certain people, I was able to make a pull. Then, while reading through the datalog and looking iver the dyno graph, the damn dyno computer (new) locked up. So everytime I got ready to make a pull it would lock up and I'd have to go through and set up every analog input and the gauge layout. Sheesh. In between all this, I did make some headway. I got to make 5 pulls. I've attached some pics of the graphs. The boost pressure sensor is on it's last legs, so don't pay attention to that graph.
    First pull it was pug rich, same 16 psi and it made 370 something. Since it was rich I decided to put some more boost to it. I checked the mbc and set it to bleed off some pressure which netted me 436 rwhp. I leaned it out a touch and the final number was 438 on 21 psi. Not bad for a tractor engine. The torque numbers are just nuts. Going to work on it some more tomorrow. 20190816_222950.jpg #ad

    That would be you, however, it's still on the dyno and I plan to up the boost a click or two, so we'll see......

    Nice runs, brother! All the trouble you're going through really sucks. Perseverance pays dividends, though.

    Thanks Chris! It's been a challenging couple weeks, but it has paid off. I'm going to fool with it again tomorrow.

    After mulling this over this past weekend, I've decided to leave boost as is and just dial in the tune as best as it can be. Reason being is the fuel system isn't going to support more power I'm afraid. I'm going to get used to this new power level, upgrade the brakes as I already have pretty much everything for it, and then look at upping the fuel system eventually and then set the boost on kill.

    Thanks guys. After the brakes and rear end upgrade, I'm focusing on the coyote turbo. Then I'll revisit this with a fuel system upgrade

    Yeah, the computer was a pita, and dealimg with the software company was a joke over this. All the rest of the issues they handled excellently. Don't know why this was such a line in the sand to them.
    Haven't got it off the dyno yet. Plan is to mess with it this evening some.

    the EA people (Clint Garrity I assume still runs it) can be a royal PITA when you need to reload software. I've got a 15 year old laptop I keep aorund solely for EA/BE because I know what a PITA his junky software is. Any other software I can reload and keep going. He acts like it's really some gift, it's not that great.
