Cool I like the different ideas for testing..

I wanted to give a clear picture of how these runs will go as lot of fiddling around might not be happening. When in California I live 6 hours north of Berkeley/Bay Area. So I won't be there when Terry does some dyno runs. I am leaving on Tuesday for Arkansas. I am going to try to buy some property and sell some of mine. Hopefully be moved back by early spring!

So I am getting Terry to do this stuff for me with his personal car. So lets get some very specific set of runs that don't require extra effort on his part. Let's be efficient with his time and my money...

Please correct me if I am wrong thinking. The car can be run over a longer period of time. As in do a run and sit for a while so heat soak is not an issue. I was thinking of running the car with the hood open so engine heat won't be much of an issue. There will be a fan blowing across the engine bay. That might not simulate driving issues but it can keep a baseline with engine heat for testing purpose.

Here are my proposed runs:

1. Baseline with it all hooked up.
2. Pull the silver tubes.
3. Pull the airbox cover . It seems to me to be as open as possible past the MAFs. Problem or not?? Hood open so not much heat.

I don't see any other reasons to make other runs at this moment. I can try with other configurations maybe at some other time.

The picture below is with a LS motor but it is the only picture I can find with the airbox open.

If someone will post a picture with the airbox open on our engine please do as it would be better for obvious reasons. I will replace this one.
