this was the first time i ever met the fbi crew and man were they a bunch of cocky guys. (i mean they are the pump gas pimps right?)
needless to say they were talking there cars up to be pretty badass and that they were but come one guys you make it out to be like your untouchable. (as well as your dig dig dig dig dig motto, give it a fucking brake that would be like me saying 150 roll 150 roll 150 roll. everyone has there better race, mix it up a little.)
They did however try there best to get the numbers they were after, they were quite disapointed when the numbers of the fist car were in the 400's so they resorted to bags of ice on the intake manifold, and bottles of ice water with holes in the cap so they could spray the intercooler. that was a great idea and everything but it didnt do the trick, by this time there getting pissed. especially the girl with the white evo with pink wheels (i thought she was gonna go ape shit on matt) however they did find a malfunctioning boost solenoid so they resolved that and it did make better power but nothing like the proclaimed power it should have made.
so by this time I think there ready to pack there shit and go home with there tail between there legs. until matt offers them another option, "those are the accurate numbers but i can give you better numbers, cause this dyno reads low" (it shouldnt read low if you put the correct information in.) and then bam with a few clicks of a keyboard we have 100hp+ differences in power output.
I am guessing I met you that day but I am really not sure who you are. I know for a fact that I wasn't bitching about the dyno numbers. I knew going that the dyno was going to read low. I think I only put down 480 or so. As I recall, the only one stressing about dyno numbers was Mouse (chick with the pink wheels) and that is because she really doesn't know much about how dyno numbers vary. I know for a fact that car would have put over 500 awhp down on a dynojet. We were all there that day to get tuned for the warmer weather. I am not really sure what you are trying to say. There are many people that spray the intercoolers down when making numerous pulls on a dyno. When the ambient temps are high, you try to do what you can to make the AIT's as stable as possible and try to avoid heat soak.
