Hey guys,
Well let me tell you guys I had a very informative day!
First off the numbers, I know you wanna hear them. 201 RWHP and 218 RWTQ, we have a small issue that's really impacting my numbers though. My air/fuel ratio at best was 13:1 under full boost also my exhaust is still absolutly stock so we believe we may be outflowing it with my kit. So, with that said I'm going to the track tonight, even though its a lean its still pretty safe, and I'll get some preliminary runs. From there tomorrow I will install my SLP dual exhaust and Monday I'm returning my PCM for some mass air flow updated information. Since my truck is a 99' its the first one they have delt with. They have it down for the 02' up, as a matter of fact I called my tuning contact today at Prodrive/Badillo and he said they just finished up a dyno run with a stock kit on a 04' Automatic ranger. It put down 205 rwhp and right at 220 ft/lbs of torque.
All in all this means that I've been driving around with the hp figures of the stock kit. That is great news for you guys because I must say that its a blast, I can't wait to get some better numbers too!

Ok, now for the weird news. I installed both the cone filter kit with the heat sheild from Street Smart Designs. This in turn had an ill effect on the air/fuel ratio. The filter kit was defintaly working because the a/f went way high, 14-15.1 which on a supercharged engine is bad. Power also dropped off considerably in into the 185-195 range. The same went for my ported and half-shafted TB.
Now to explain, this wasn't a negative effect from the product. This kit was designed around the stock airbox and a flat panel K&N air filter, from which I made the 201 rwhp number. In order to run a better flowing air intake and/or TB you will need some aftermarket tuning and MAYBE even a larger mass air meter. I'll be talking with Apten Chips about this so don't worry, you will be able to use them if you already have one but I'm trying to get across that you don't need them to make good horsepower and torque numbers.
Well, I've gotta go get ready for the track tonight, unfortunatly the 1/4 mile track was having an event tomorrow so I won't be able to get 1/4 mile times this weekend but I'm going to a local 1/8th mile so I'll give you have the numbers. ;)
All in all I have some more dyno time scheduled for next weekend and I'm returning my computer come Monday so things should be even better then.
Later Doug904.
