Dyno'ed the 96 Today -- Graph

Desnudo01 · Jan 31, 2004

Well, today I dyno'ed my 1996 GT, to see where I stood with the new 2001 Engine installed:

First I'll tell you my mods:

Stock 2001 2V 4.6L SOHC Longblock
WMS Fenderwell Cold Air w/ K&N
87mm PRO-M MAF
70mm BBK TB
MAC Longtube Headers
MAC O/R H Pipe
Flowmaster American Thunder 2 chambs.
Steeda Alt, Crank pulleys (did not have the Water Pump pulley because it wouldn't transfer from the 96 Engine)
Screamin Demon 42KV Coil Packs
MSD 8.5mm wires
Autolite 764's gapped @ .065
T-56 6 speed
FMS 4.30:1 Rearend Gears

I made 250RWHP/286RWTQ SAE numbers, and here's a pic I took of the graph! Let me know what you think. I don't quite understand A/F graphs so maybe you could help me out in that department as well!

If you had a T45 you would probably be making 258 rwhp
So I would say those are good numbers

looks good

Beau · Jan 31, 2004

well you have a 2001 engine in there so it looks pretty nice...now get it up past 300 rwhp

Roush97 · Jan 31, 2004

i think you'll benefit greatly from a tune...richening up the early rpms to safen things up then lean out the upper rpms for some power

I'd be willing to bet if you re-installed your stock TB and MAS your hp #s would go up. That was my experience.

nice #'s
close to mine

I would def get that thing tuned. That A/F ratio is scary

matsm21 · Jan 31, 2004

yea, it looks like the A/F spikes REALLY high in the beginning. prolly get some more HP out of a good tune.

Desnudo01 · Jan 31, 2004

Please enlighten me on what you all call a good tune, and how would I go abouts getting one?

I take it you aren't referring to a mail order chip, but a custom dyno tune? Would it be possible for me to tune the car myself?

What if I decide to put cams in down the road in 6 mos.?? Can I retune on the same chip?

Thanks for the input, and clearly my A/F is wack, but I am an idiot in the tuning business

Nice numbers

JonJon · Feb 1, 2004

Engine swap, sweeet
6 speed, sweet

97BlackSteed · Feb 1, 2004

Nice numbers man! I bet that sucker is strong on the top end. You gotta get some track times to go with those dyno numbers!

Yes a good tune means a dyno tune. there is probably a good 5 to 10 hp in there if you get that a/f ratio evened out. If you really want to tune the car yourself, you do have some options. I went with the tweecer rt, and with as much as you have done to your car it may be something for you to look into. It allows for real time data logging, so you can really monitor your changes. to get your a/f right you would still need some dyno time, or you could install a wide band o2 sensor.

good numbers, while ur a/f needs work but you can solve it quickly. You can go get modular depot's SCT n/a tune for $300 bucks i believe or go to Apten tuning and get it dyno tuned for $400. sorry i couldnt make it to the dyno

Desnudo01 · Feb 1, 2004

I think I would like to go with something that I can tune the car with personally. This way, further down the road if I get my heads PP and Stage 2 cams in, I will be able to reburn a chip without the hassle of mailing one off to get a new burn on it.

What are my options if I want to go this method/route and what am I looking to pay?

2k2SilverBullet · Feb 1, 2004

800 dollars, im personnaly going supercharger in the long run it will be cheaper and faster i think

2k2SilverBullet · Feb 1, 2004

i can get all my supercharger parts for 1700 or so with a tune....nice to know people
