Nice! Good to know actual power difference between EL and UEL

These are peak numbers, the two dyno graphs look a little different, but the car really doesn't feel slower to me. I'll take it to the track this spring and that will tell the truth. My best pass with the EL was 12.836.

Derek,

Your car has always made great power especially considering the catted downpipe and relatively quiet exhaust! Some cars just have it!

I still like the EL headers better... the car runs smoother and the torque curve is a bit less peaky, but overall the UEL performed better than I expected.

I was pleased with the results, really was expecting 280/305 or so, Seemed like every run the car did better. It was a fun and enjoyable experience to see my car on the dyno at your shop. If we ever get E85 readily available around here, I'll be in for more. Thanks again!

Thanks! Was fun standing behind the car on a couple of the runs seeing how much air is actually moved through the exhaust. Feels like a strong wind.

April last year, probably 10-15 degrees F. As you know, these are just numbers, trap times will tell the real numbers, will go to sac raceway when the weather gets better. Ran a 12.836 @106.2x with the EL.

Your car sounds great in those videos! Very clean, deep tone.

Thanks! I actually really like this exhaust, pretty quiet driving around under normal conditions, but sounds great at WOT. Not bad for an exhaust called a "whisper".

Nice, what's up with the water under the exhaust tip? Ed why don't you have some FAN'S? IC 1 fan, that can't help to much with heatsoak?

He had 2 fans running, one directly over the intercooler blowing down and the second is directly in front of the radiator. The first run pushed out the condensation in the exhaust, didn't do it again after that.

My crappy camera skills and phone cam don't show great detail...

We're working on upgrading the fans, but the ones I want are $$$$$ .

Its surprising how well these little fans work. They actually push a lot more air than you'd expect. They seem to work great for everything except the more poorly designed short ram intakes which do get quite heat soaked on the dyno. Everything else runs very well, however.

Any chance of posting up both graphs?
