And the fact that you talk out your *** BEFORE doing research is pretty annoying, most people learn something before commenting on it, not you though, you'd rather cut 12" holes in frames and use pipe bombs for Throttle bodies and then see if it's a good idea.
The original Gopro doesn't offer a remote. That was the last I had looked at them sorry that I didn't do some more research that the two newer styles have remotes.
My original comment was still intended more to the fact that so many people don't take two seconds to edit the crap out of the video. I realize it didn't come accorss that way but that was the bigger pet peive that I was expressing.


People regularly cut an actual 12"s or more out of there frame and plenty of them then pull a trailer! Wow isn't that amzing! Maybe I am not the only one who can research and think things through before making a comment. I am sure you have seen plenty of step notches and maybe event a few of them with a trailer hooked to the *** end.


Back to the original topic. I agree that if you have the newer gopro capable of using the remote it would be a nice feature.

I ended up putting the 10" straps back on because the 12" ended up being 12.5" and too long at any rate. It looks like the 10" will fit perfect and leave me room to tighten things down.

Took it out last night to play with it and 20psi is just freaking nasty, 65mph rolling burnouts

I replaced my TPS sensor today because last night the lowest it would read (with the throttle closed) was 9-13% which makes my idle suck because adaptive spark idle doesnt kick in...also screws with the shifting.

Iron 6.0 truck block, forged Weisco pistons, forged callies rods, and forged k1 4in crank machined and assembled by LME.

New injectors are done at 20psi with 55% e85...

About to get nerdy...

I made a plot of dyn cyl air versus rwtq based on my dyno runs. I found a very strong correlation with an r squared value of almost .98 using about 12 scattered data points. With this number I found my run tonight at 20psi to be around 930ftlb and 1030hp. This was a 3rd gear pull from 75mph so it was past peak torque by the time boost was fully up, but the peak hp number should be right. I'm not sure what goes into the dyn cyl air calculation but the trend holds from 100 to 700 ftlbs based on my data gathered from my dyno time.
