just my $.02

The fans added more HP...
Now we are at HP 234.56
TQ 262.47
We pulled this engine 4 times in row. 1 was junk not sure what happened but it was junk threw it out.. But the other 3 runs you could lay them over each other perfectly, almost like one thick line of data
.
Conculsion the stock fan is a hp robber.
So over all we are 64hp and 66ft tq.
Not too bad for under 600.00 so far....

Yeah that might have to be down the road, still need to completely hook up the wide band so it can log with the laptop. Meth is next on the install list, then maybe fans if the wife doesn't boot me out of the house, lol!
