I've got an appointment set for 9am (Monday, 2/13/06) at CarZ Custom in Denver. For $85 I get 3 runs with minor adjustments allowed between runs.

Here is how I am planning on using those runs:
1: No ALDA signal. I'll plug the boost line to the ALDA for no enrichment. (It will also serve as a warm-up for the normal run)
2: Normal run. Start at 2000rpm, the same rpm I started with my 300TD and auto tranny.
3: Lug down. Full power applied at around 1200rpm.

Here are my specs:
Car- 1980 240D 197,700 miles.
Engine- OM617.95x 1984 300SD block and internals, 1982 300TD head and camshaft 320K miles.
Transmission- Stock 4-speed manual, dampened single clutch.
Driveline- Stock driveshaft, 3.69 diff.
Wheels/tires- 205/60R15 alloy rims (560SEL)
Misc- Fuel used will be Diesel #2 (No winterized/#1 cr@p here!), ALDA set at max, boost is 12.5psi, KKK K26 turbo, external throttle linkage stop on IP raised 4mm, no internal IP adjustments, redline at 5000rpm, Mobil 1 Truck & SUV 5W40 synthetic oil, best 0-60 time: 15.1 seconds, average MPG:20.5.

Any ideas or comments? I'll post a graph as soon as I get back home.

How in the world can you start at 2000RPM with an auto tranny without damaging it or blowing the torque converter apart??

Looks like a manual tranny.

2000rpm was the lowest I could floor it without the auto tranny downshifting into 3rd.

Maybe we'll see more than 90rwhp.

I was able to get 87.2rwhp last time in my automatic TD. Randy got 79rwhp in his auto 300TD.

I may be 5000ft higher but I am still expecting 92-98rwhp. The 3.69 vs 3.07 diff WILL cause a difference in output measured, I'm guessing in the 3-4hp and 25-30ft-lb torque range.

How are you only getting a tad over 20mpg with that stickshift?

Thinking the high diff ratio is hurting or?

Just curious...I'll be watching

I've never gotten good milage. No clue why. It runs well, good power, no black smoke. TD or 240D. 17.25 was my worst milage

My car must be rev-happy, even if I am going over 45-50mph and press the pedal too far (as far as it goes ) to accelerate, it will do a super quick, super firm, drop to 3rd, haul like nothing else to as high as 80, then drop back to 4th....its pretty awesome...

That's not right; there must be a problem with the odometer.
