first actual satisfactory improvement

yesterday there was a local show at a dealer that had a portable dyno setup free for any fords that was setup by our local board owner and the dealership.

Decided to go and made a half arsed pull for free.

I put down

252hp and 285trq....

On the low side but it was 100*, 43% humidity, with a DA of 3,800-4,000ft (our local track is like 650-700ft). With little to no timing at WOT (just have it coming in sooner at this point with maybe 30* total), no changes to the A/F as I am waiting for my W/B to arrive, and the stock catted H pipe on the car.

Got off the dyno and realized my home made CAI had also came loose and a "slit" area about 1-1.5in long was letting air in un-meterd'. I dont know when it came loose but it was dur. the pull. I am going to make a new one as it came off on the way home as well.

at 4k it really started to slow its power making down I think its from mostly the heat, the hpipe and maybe the CAI...and my MSD box went out a few weeks ago as well. I will toss up an excel in a bit to show what I am talking about.

Just glad to finaly be in the ball park and not a bad baseline for basicly no WOT tuning at this point in the worst weather conditions. REALLY GLAD as the bugs look to be sorted out for the most part, I cannot wait to start WOT tuning this bugger.

My final goal is 275-290-ish (of course in cooler/better weather)...so I am really not looking for much more.

Preaty nice turnout...were are you at in Florissant? I am in Florissant. A few turbo cars and some SHARP S197's.

There was a 96 cobra that had put down 275 before a tune and put down 255 yesterday after a tune (diff. dynos). To give an idea how hot and nasty it was.

rough excel entry of dyno print out. I only took data from the rpm points on the printout.

I am just outside of old town...on the other side of lindb.

After spending the day in the heat yesterday...not going to the Mcdonall park either.

I did stop go out after the show yesterday on the way home and look at some fusions...test drove one as well.

That is one thing I never got about going to florida...why drive 12hr or so to be in the same weather you just left bitching about....oh yeah and the ociean...another great reason to not go.

no problem we can meet up sometime...pref. after the summer heat wave...and before the freeze. I know its like a 2hr window sometime in september...maybe we will get lucky .
