Street tuning is actually better because the car gets plenty of air flow and cooling doing pulls. No number of fans on the dyno can recreate the cooling from wind resistance on the street.

Good point on the air flow, I never thought about that! I drive a 24 mile closed bridge, no on or off except at the ends, that is 65mph PSL to and from work every day. I can create a gap to get a soild 3rd and 4th pull, some times I can get 2nd in too. The LEO's can only sit at crossovers spaced every 4 miles or so. Its a perfect spot actually.

It does, that is usually what I struggle with. Temp has a huge impact on getting that last degree or two of timing advance in.

Very nice work man. Very impressive. The fact that you tune on the street is cool. I've always tuned on the dyno and tweaked things on the street tune.

Almost in the 11s with a 1.9 60 ft time.

You always repped the maximas well Mardi. Now you're doing it with the G sedans.

You assembled the engine yourself too?

Thanks Jeff!

Oh yes! I did every thing but the .020 overbore and dynamic balance of the rotating assembly, the cost of those tools just dont justify DIY on that part of it.

Ive got a 99 Cobra vert now, and I will be moving on to that little project next. Wifey likes it since ins a convertable. It needs lots of TLC, but thats most of the fun anyhow. I can restore it with the better parts available aftermarket. Im looking for high 12's NA with NA boltons, sticky tires and 4:30 gears, in a convertable. YES!!!
