Carter at Pete Stop has had challenges with my cars automatic transmission. He does the best he can, but he deals with a ton of cars.
I wish they would let me drive the car. It needs to be a 3rd gear run, there are only 4 gears, but the gas doesn't need to be mashed down. Basically what needs to happen is that you have to get rolling about 60mph and then hit the gas hard enough to get the drop down, now your in third. From there you gradually push the gas feeling the torque max out until you hit about 105mph. That will fully rev out 3rd gear. I'm sure my numbers would be better in that case. A friend of mine with a simular set up dyno'd at 265lbs on the same dyno.
The Dyno has never been spot on. It's just a number anyway. I mean nothing bad about Pete Stop or Carter, they are great people too. My car doesn't get the best performance form flooring the gas pedal though. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there. Most boosted turbo cars are like that. There is a groove that you have to find.
