Put it on the Dyno Today

[BurningRubber]

I went out there expecting 245 rwhp and 285 rwtq to be honest.

I was pleasantly suprised by this...

Run #1, not messing with the Diablosport. Allready richened the fuel a little and lightly bumped timing...

253 rwhp @ 4850 RPM
299 lb ft @ 4050
A/F ratio was mid 13's with a little lean spike in the bottom (14.0 or so)


Run #2 adding a little fuel and a little timing...

259.7 rwhp @ 4900 RPM
311.5 lb ft @ 4050 RPM
A/F ratio stayed the same


Run #3 more fuel and 1/2 degree timing added up top...

258.1 rwhp
314 lb ft @ 3900
A/F ratio dropped a little but still had a small lean spike.


The engine definatly liked the timing. I am impressed as this was through 4.10 gears, maybe its not as slow as it feels... lol

So I gained a maximum of 6.7 hp and even better 15 lb ft of tourqe without turning a single wrench.

Nice numbers! They do seem a little high for the mods you have tho. That had to be on a Dynojet dyno, right?

 

[BurningRubber]

Suprisingly no, it was Mustang Dyno... that got me also. Thanks..

 

[04GTMustang]

those numbers are incredibly high man. especially for your mods. i had that same stuff and put down 232rwhp 274rwtq but i trapped higher too in the 1/8th than you did. shows you how much dynoes can differ.

good numbers though man.

 

[BennyBlown2v]

Cool you gained power! I wouldn't put much into the numbers, they are just a baseline to compare against results from that dyno.

 

[BurningRubber]

I know there are differences among dyno's, im not gonna argue with that but this one is very consistant with what it reads as far as me knowing other people who have had their car dyno'd on it.

If they are lower than that then oh well, but next trip to the track should prove yay or nay, lol.

 

[Crzyhrse]

Oh please, give me a break. I've seen so many B.S. dyno runs, but that one takes the cake . I'm running the basic mods on my Mach with CAI, Custom tuned Diablo, Midpipe, and Catback and I put down 273RWHP/290RWTQ on a Mustang Dyno. Your telling me your GT is running just 13RWHP shy of mine with those mods? Thanks for the laugh.

and 24 more ft/lbs of torque. Although i like to take people by their word cuz i know if i didn't have a dyno sheet to scan after my dyno pull people would be going off my word, but it was a mustang dyno?

And its people like you that always come off with something smart to say...

I allready admitted the dyno could read higher than others, even though it is a Mustang dyno. It is also consistant with what it reads. You dyno'd on a Mustang dyno as well, perhaps your numbers are low... my freind with a Mach 1 with near equal mods as yours put out 27 more lb ft of tourqe than yours as well as about 17 hp more on a dyno jet.

No 2 dyno's will read the same numbers... the main point here is regardless of what my car actually makes I gained 15 lb ft of tourqe and 6 rwhp from pushing some buttons.

I have the dyno sheet at my house, when I get home ill be more than glad to post it and you can raise the bs flag then if you will feel better about it.

Ive been here a long time, have a genuine passion for cars and have no reason at all to post fake #'s on an internet forum to make my e-wang look bigger. Sorry if im coming off as a dick but it irks me when people react like that towards someone who isnt here to bs about ~~~~.


Edit: I also have the runs on tape to prove I was really strapped to a dyno, I did not film the numbers though hence the reason I had them printed out.

 

[Crzyhrse]

Your friend with the Mach has dynojet numbers that are dead on for the few mods he has, if their just short of my mods. On a dynojet I should be putting down 297/315 with my mods. Alot of Mach's just have the same basic mods as mine and the consistency of the dyno numbers is right on. I'm convinced beyond a doubt that tuners are altering their dyno's to spit out the kind of performance numbers people luv to see. High ones. That's why I call them "Happy Numbers". If you throw out the final numbers and just concentrate on what each new part adds, then I think you could get an accurate read of what each new part adds, but not believe the finall numbers. Sorry, but I think your HP number is about 30RWHP off for a Mustang Dyno. I'm not picking on you. I've seen stock Mach's say their putting down 300RWHP bone stock on a Mustang Dyno. That's about 320RWHP on a Dynojet. Is that believable?

 

[BurningRubber]

I understand man, Dynojets seem to be more accurate as far as actual numbers go. I went expecting 245/285 or so but was suprised when it ended up where it was.

I just dont like people calling BS on what I say or post because thats not me to talk a bunch of crap about whatever it is im speaking on, thats what I got heated about.

If it reads high it reads high, thats no big deal to me. Numbers are only impressive from one standpoint, the real test is at the track and the person behind the wheel's capability.

The thing I am proud of is the power I gained from adjusting fuel curves and adding timing, which were real even if the numbers being put out were high. It was noticable from driving the car after I left and my butt dyno is a sceptical one.

 

[Winters98GT]

burningrubber,

if you dont mind me asking, how r u adding timing to your car?

Edit- I saw your using a diablosport. I read your sig and didnt see it, my bad

 

[Crzyhrse]

A handheld tuner with a dynotune is a very good HP/TQ gainer. It's by far the best power adder I've put on my Mach. And it's nice to know your bolt-ons are all dialed in together to get the max performance.

 

[BurningRubber]

Yeah I was happy. At first I wasnt too impressed with the Diablosport untill I had some seat time with it and learned what the car wanted... but now I stand by it.

 

[hotmustang331]

Nice gains

And personally I would go to a dyno jet and do the same thing. Put it back base and then do your timing bumps. Reason is because a Mustang dyno can EASILY change the #s based on the weight he enters as well as a # of other paramterers. What im saying is that it may not be consistant....just a thought so you get accurate results .

And on top of that, dyno jet pulls are usuually cheaper

 

[ADRENLN]

yea, its cool you gaind power from messing with the timing. dynojets are much more accurite. too much operator error on the mustang dynos. your car also put out more torque then mine and i have heads and cams!!!!

 

[BurningRubber]

Here is a video of one of the runs. It was the last run, probaly the best lightning. After the run is over I forgot to turn the camera off so there is nothing more than a bunch of people talking.

[blckstng96]

ADRENLN,what did your car run with that 290rwhp? just curious because your set up is kinda similiar to mine,still haven't had it dynoed yet though.

 

[ADRENLN]

i didnt run it with the 290hp.

but you should run quicker then me anyway with the stroker.....mine is not in yet, and your stage 2 na cams.

let me know what you run if you go!

 

[blckstng96]

well in a sense the stoker is kinda hurting me with those cams but a stroker in itself doesn't really make a bunch more power than stock bore and stroke.i kinda made the cams smaller by going more displacement but it still runs pretty good,i also have low compression going agains me because MMR sucks and put too much dish in my pistons. its between 8.5-8.9 someplace,sucks for N/A.thats why im looking for a supercharger haha.i might run it this weekend at englishtown though for the all ford even going on friday thru sunday.
