Anyway, I just put in the Code 3 intercooler I picked up from Harold, so I need to get back to the dyno and give it another go. Hopefully I'll see some pretty decent gains. I might also try switching around the intake (back to stock and then maybe a dual cone set up) to see if there is really any difference. I'll have to buy a DCI first and then see if the shop minds the extra time and runs it would take to do the comparison.
90 degree days certainly will get you lower numbers than 70! Let's hope there is a cooler day coming up!
