Lots of stories from the Challenge. I had the honor of going first on the dyno. I set the bar high, just not high enough for the win. Ended up in 3rd place.


Run 1 - 981.9 / 1686 (my 800HP tune on fuel only)
Run 2 - 1202.9 / 2000.2 (my 1025HP tune fuel only)
Run 3 - 1471.2 / 2466.2 (my 1025HP tune plus some juice)


Interestingly, if you took the uncorrected number from run 1 it is 796HP. It is my belief that CF can be thrown out the window. In this case CF was 22% or more. I've always disputd correction factors and this more or less supports my theory. Spool up lage etc definitely come into play, but once underway...


Running in the #1 slot can be advantageous but also leaves one vulnerable to being overtaken. Advantage in that others may expire trying to best the numbers. Disadvantage in that I did not know how hard to juice it plus teh upcoming trucks knew where they had to be to top me. Would have been nice to have numbers kept secret so that everybody brings their best...
