Snarf is scheduled to roll on the dyno early August.
That will be an independent stage 2 test.

I have confirmed that the dyno operator lifted the throttle as soon as the power curve reached its peak and started falling. They were focusing on getting peak numbers. So the sudden dropoff at 6200 rpm is NOT representative of the power output of stage 2.
No explanation for the loss in tq/power below 2700 rpms yet. Just that it is not expected and that it has not yet been investigated because the focus at the time was on getting peak numbers.
While we're waiting for the "early August" dyno results, can we get some general thoughts on power delivery compared to RIPP and Magnuson? Still waiting to hear that blow-off valve too :)
I'm interested in what happens with the coolant overflow reservoir. Do you have any pics or thoughts to share on that? Is the new location reasonably accessible for checking the coolant level?
The coolant tank is black (knew you'd like that) and it mounts near the front bumper where you can check it easily. My mount was a bit more of a challenge because I have a stubby front bumper and a front skid plate. We mounted it at a slight angle and it is behind my skid for protection. Checking it is not as easy as a stock bumpered JK but it really isn't too bad to remove two bolts, drop it, and inspect.
Skid is off in this picture so it looks more exposed than it is.

FIRST DYNO CHART
This was the best run today. Here are some notes you need to be aware of.
- The stock line in this chart is not Jesse's Girl, Its Sweet Pea's stock dyno line. Sweet Pea and Black Betty were dyno'd years apart (stock) and came out in the exact same spot, so I consider the line a standard.
- Humid summer day
- 4.88 gearing. - This shouldnt alter the line as far as power to the ground vs RPM but JG is geared.
- Stock Tires. All our dyno's to date are on stock 255/75R17 BFG Km1s.
