Mike,

Armed and dangerous this morning<g>.

Here's some numbers from the printouts:

####################################################

Dyno Run 5 - 5.2L stock except for 180 degree T-stat

Barometric pressure 29.86
Air Temp 76.7

Max corrected Torque 237.9
Max corrected HP 181.2
both measured @ 4000 rpm

####################################################

Dyno Run 6 - 5.2L w/180 degree T-stat, K&N 14" Open Element

Barometric pressure 29.86
Air Temp 76.8

Max corrected Torque 241.5
Max corrected HP 184.0
both measured @ 4000 rpm

I was a bit off with yesterday's quoted numbers. On the last run I
overshot with the throttle and the printout actually goes to 4100. HP
was still climbing and measured 189.2 @ 4100. On the graph printout it
says max power was 191.5 I'm assuming that's an uncorrected number or
something even higher up the rpm range.

The next run(maybe next week) should be interesting.

Bob
