Stock explorer long block, heads not even as much as removed. TFS springs, retainers, locks, pushrods, Professional products Typhoon upper/lower, egr spacer and TB, BBK unequal length shorties, B-21 cam, Hybrid Cobra Maf, A9L ecm tuned by myself using Moates QH and BE. Flowtech h-pipe, underdrive pulleys, e-fan, 3.73 gears, z-code t-5, race readies open and short belt to bypass power steering pump. FRPP 1.6 roller rockers, FRPP aluminum driveshaft. Nothing fancy, just simple refinement."​

I thought these numbers were crazy for the combo he's running. ​

Nice numbers. Some of these combos do well when everything is coordinated.

I agree with this, but at the same time some dynos can be very generous, and environment/weather can help huge, too. I notice that the people in that video are all wearing jackets, indicating it's cold outside. Cool air can definitely help things out a bit. I've seen this video before, I'd be very curious to see a backup dyno run on a completely different dyno in completely different conditions. 317 to the tire on a stock explorer heads and a fairly mild cam is a bit tough to digest.

I'd believe the HP/TQ numbers if they were 10% less.

I would also like to see this. Because I've seen way better combos only put down like 320-330 at the wheels

Idk about the numbers, but this guys on youtube cutting 12.4x-12.5x time slips. I looked closely because I'm running a similar set up. He's been tweaking the car for about 2 or 3 years now iirc.

its alllllll about dyno calibration. I call BS. you could make a 96 camry put down 650 if you move a few decimals in the programming ( i know this because ive learned how to do it). The engine master's challenge doesnt like to screw around with shady dynos.

Not to say that the GT40 type combos arent a decent set up, just not that good IMO

EDIT: I've had someone EXPLAIN how to do it, i have never done it nor could i figure it out myself. But it can be done. Thats not to say someone would go through the trouble to fudge the numbers on a cookie-cutter fox body, just goes to show that a few numbers out of range can pad the numbers pretty good.

Id be real interested to see what it traps. #'s seem really inflated.

Nifty...but as others have stated, I'd like to see him repeat those numbers on a different dyno. Personally, I think Dyno days are more about "Oooo's and Ahhhh's" and confirming your A/F ratio than they are about accuracy.

Dyno numbers are that just numbers... Get to the track and the mph shows the true power! Dynos are tuning tools nothing more nothing less

I've always felt that they are good for measuring changes. They are generally unreliable for single runs IMO.

92LX 331 500+rwhp NA, 11.2 in quarter thus far...
Yes I know it is unbelievable to get 500rwhp out of a stock block 331cid, maybe dyno was a bit happy?

That's an understatement. The dyno must have been high on giggle gas!
