oh and the boost seems to be holding steady at 11/12psi now, not sure what was up with that.

maybe? it was in the 70's yesterday, today not so much.. I did a few virtual dyno pulls, nothing really gained nor lost.. however my afr's were a bit leaner then my previous runs. i dont know if i'd contribute that to the weather or not, todays weather was similar to the weather of previous virtual dyno runs though so i dont think that'd be much of a factor.

Here is the best run from today, vs my best consistent run from a while back for comparison.

Red is from today, Blue is from before.



I just dont think I'm making the power I should be, unless Virtual Dyno is that far off, but from what I've seen its pretty close so I dont know. Hopefully next week or the week after I'll be able to hit the dyno.

Temperatures about the same? That dip is a bit odd, could be loosing boost or other variables.

it is a specific material and it acts different depending on what fluids it interacts with and a lot of other stuff from physics textbooks. @BenFenner has it.
