Not sure yet. I talked to him last weekend about it so maybe this weekend or next week?
And yes it sucks having my bike in Kentucky and I'm in Detroit. The weather is going to suck here for like the next 2 weeks so whatever. I should have the bike here by that time.

We we hit the dyno yesterday finally.
Had to end the day early.....bad gas we think.
Ended up making 330-340whp at 13psi and we started getting knock. the Hydra was pulling timing from 5500 to redline which was 7k. I filled up at a hole in the wall gas station before i got there because there was nothing else around.
So i'm going to burn through the gas and fill up with some better gas and try again. Hopefully that was our problem. I did pull the number 1 spark plug at one point on the dyno to check something and I dropped it on the ground and it was about then we were upping the boost and getting knock so that could be part of the problem as well.
98% humidity didnt help either.
I will keep everyone posted....

Yea I'm just gunna some try some good 93 and change the plugs. If that doesnt do it then i really know what else it could be.
Maybe E85 time at that point.
And that poison ivy looked wicked. Hopefully its better now.

If you do e85 I really wanna be there for that dyno! Well actually I wanna be there regardless haha hopefully you can get back on it soon though. I wanna see some good numbers
just trying to see what your tunner considers knock. anything below 1 volt is just engine noise. numbers seem right on for 13 psi. if knock retard was pulling timing then it shouldnt have made those numbers at 13 psi. what were your afr's?
Yamahawhat is your plan as Far as power and psi?

Well as soon as we went higher then 13psi we started loosing power due to the timing being pulled. I think we dropped to like 310ish at like 15psi. But the hydra was pulling alot of timing.
The afrs were high 11's low 12's. The highest I saw then on the good runs was like 12.4 i think.
Id like to break into the 400's as far as power. Which should be possible as long as i figure out the knock issue.
