Dyno Numbers

Yes similar journeys! I have the 132. If I see a 150 TB hit the market maybe I'll pick it up to play around with it. I hear people can't get the car to idle with the 150 so it might be fun to try and conquer that beast. Also I saw a post on Facebook earlier that a switch from the stock ecu to aftermarket moved the power band way up too. Very interesting.

That is very interesting. Yeah that 150 is a leaky SOB. If you ever wanna experiment with it I'll send it to you and if you like it you can buy it and if not just send it back lol. The 132 was a lot better.

I might take you up on that. We're you having trouble getting the blade in the right spot?

Great power for your setup! Love seeing all gen5 3.0 setups making legit power!

Excellent build and results!
How was your experience at that dyno shop? I’m from Ohio also.
Figure out a way to make Norwalk NMRA?

The dyno is a small 1 man operation but he's a cool guy that is pretty smart. Works on all kinds of stuff. My family will be at Norwalk all weekend racing. I'm trying to make it Friday, and hopefully Sunday.

Yeah I kept messing with the set screw but I think that wasn't the issue. I emailed Whipple and he said to try and RTV the TPS sensor and then the nut on the OTHER side. I tried doing the TPS sensor but I didn't see how putting RTV under the nut would help. At that point I just called them and got the 132MM back. It's manners are way better.

But yeah if you wanna give it a try let me know, I'd be more than happy to let you and curious to see how it goes.

Couple things that really help is, playing with coil dwell time allows me to run a larger plug gap without spark blowout

How much dwell are you running? The stock coils saturate past 1.8msec

Nominal dwell is 2.9 with spark duration set a 1.3ms. I do notice from time to time I get the slightest burble at stead state cruise and as soon as you tip in even the slightest amount is smooth right out. Running a 024 gap I figured I need to play with spark plug gap a bit.

I updated the original post with a video of the ms3 in action and a pull on the dyno.
