Dyno Session at VMS-Blykins 445

[GBowman]

#1230 is up at VMS for a few upgrades to the factory equipment. As many of you know, VMS complted my car using a 445CI motor built by Brent Lykins who is also a huge contributor to this site. Jay and his team have experimented with pretty much evrything on the cars and really know how to take them "over the top"...If that is what you are looking for of course. Along with upgraded shocks/springs, Heim joints, sperical bushings etc...they put the car on their new dyno set up. If you havent seen their dyno videos check them out-I have done a dyno session myself and vow NEVER to do so again as I pictured the straps breaking and me landing in another state. Brian looks WAY to comfortable in the drivers seat during these rather loud trips into the upper RPM limits of a V8...business as usual I suppose.

Anyway, this graph illustrates the 3rd and 9th pulls during which time they rejetted the carb and made some adjustments to increase HP by a nice margin. Mind you, I had the car tuned on a dyno before so they really made some detailed changes to get the additional HP.

This set up isn't for everyone but I like it...The new GTR I beat to 100 didn't like either!

I will report back on the changes that VMS did on the car once I get it home and the weather gets to a number that starts with at least a "5"...I do have heated seats...
