BC Racing coilovers with Exotic Air cup suspension . Swift springs in the front & Tein springs in the rear. I only use the cup suspension for clearance purposes. When I drive, it's all down, all spring.
The car is wrapped in matte white vinyl. All the chrome has been knocked out to matte black; some vinyl, some had to be paint.. due to the complex shape that vinyl will not wrap properly.

Dyno - session
The car is scheduled to head to BlackTrax in Milpitas tomorrow for a quick dyno session. I need to know my current baseline with the BPU mods.
BlackTrax is a popular tuning shop in the local Bay Area that have worked on many local cars including FATLACE S14, Jay's LS1 powered Aristo, plus many more. Let's see what they can do with the 3UZ-FE.
I'm predicting the car will most likely run rich, so maybe a quick A/F adjustment will yeild linear power gains.
I'll be there tomorrow around 5pm. Swing by if you are in the area.

BlackTax Dyno pulls on Dynapack dyno
Dynapack dynos attach directly to the hub of the vehicle usually yielding more accurate readings.
On most 5-speed tranny cars, the correct gear to make dyno pulls is 4th gear b/c the ratio is directly at 1. Our cars like to down shift. So the only way to prevent this is to ease into the throttle and gradually get into WOT around 4500 RPM. But we hit the speed governor at 131 MPH, with another 700RPM left.. so 4th gear pull was inconclusive.
To give you an idea, when we hit 131 MPH and the ECU started to cut fuel, the car was making 251 whp at 54XX RPM. There was plenty of power left.
Specs: manufacture redline = 6,350 RPM
So with 4th gear being limited, we found out the ratio for 3rd gear and calculated some math with the rear diff ratio and went back at the dyno.
My best run on 3rd gear was 271 whp @ 5,6XX rpm.
My next step is to install the Greddy Speed Governor so the car will go pass the limiter @ 131 MPH. Then I'll be back for more 4th gear pulls and see what this combo is truly making.
Looking at the A/F ratio when it was WOT, the car was running very rich in the 12 range. We will most likely add a A/F controller to fine tune this area for better miles per gallon and squeeze a bit more power out.
More to come.

Your car is insanely nice dude, I remember reading the thread where you put on the vinyl wrap and talking about how there was a surprise in store and showed the huge boxes. I now know what that surprise was, and it kicks ***!
