Here's Dave crunching various RPM/Vacuum #'s during warm up trying to figure out what RPM/Vac reading would give us the best score. He calculated 910 RPM/6.0 was where we would score best so I went in and tryed to set the idle as clse to his goal as possible. In the end after 5 minutes of idle and then 1 minute of recorded idle, we had 930 RPM average and -5.9 vacuum, so I set it about as close as I could to his target.
if you look real close you can see alot of data on the screen including the corrected DA on the lower right corner, it reads, DA, VP, baro, humidity, and inlet temp in that order starting from bottom up. Harold welded in a O2 bung in our headers on Tuesday night so we could run the LM1.

Pic of test cell #2, which was operated by John Seamon from SF's North Carolina office, and officiated by Jim S. (in the blue shirt) From MP. The guy in the black shirt is John Donato, the other MP Engineer who was in charge of tech on cell 1. This is the cell we used, INDY ran on and Shelton. The other 3 ran in cell 1. These were 2 brand new never ran SF902's that were installed on Monday. Turns out John is originally from Williamsport, PA (about 45 minutes Northeast of us) and is the nephew of Gary Hetler. We BS'd about Kent Ritters dyno "cell" jokingly on Thursday at the MP Party. Kent's Brother was the one who introduced and recommended John to Harold at SF to give him his job. It's a small small world.
Ryan, I know John from work, nice guy. Well it looks
like you had some fun after ALL the work you went through.
Are you abile to post the out come of all of the
engines or is that a no-no as of yet

rvoyles: the contest heavily factored in cost of the engines as well as vacuum and idle RPM, hence why he tried a Thermoquad (cheap) and we ran $86 headers on a $16,000 engine LOL
 I get it now...
Should I feel bad that the guy with the lowest numbers on that board ported my heads? 
I think those little pipes would have something to do with it
AL...

I hope I can get more involved with it the next time.
