Guess my Dyno

[Pablo]

Tomorrow I will have full access to a dynojet dyno and will be fine tuning with my GenII translator w/ wideband tracking

The car has run a 7.5@94 (3400 lbs race weight) on my own chip. With the extender and gen II its running much better.

It has a stock long block, thdp, hooker exhaust, 72 lb inj., TE45A, RJC power plate, Powerstroke FMIC, methanol injection.

I will be locking the torque converter and hope to run around 28-30 psi.

Lets see who gets closest to what I put down.

BTW, if any of you have any tips for my first dyno day I will be glad to take them.

I'll guess 490 rwhp as mine ran almost the same mph & et 1/8 mile.
Good luck!

460 rwhp 495 ft lbs of torque

I was suffering from nasty boost spike issues. it would initially go way past 30 psi and then settle down at like 26. Highly frustrating. The dyno curve was shooting way up till about 4800 rpm when it all of the sudden dropped like a rock. It looked to me like that was when the wastegate opened and dumped about 7 lbs of boost

Good numbers. Nothing ever goes right on the dyno! That's when I found my roller rockers didn't have enough clearance.

Pablo, let us know when you figure out the issue.
The numbers are not bad man!!!

 

[Raymond Bunch]

Great Numbers

Hey old buddy!

Happy to hear it's back up and running since the tranny issue. Those number are very good considering how much is actually done to the car. Especially running on pump gas and alky! Change those cylinder heads and cam and you will be producing 75-100 more ponies easily. :smile:

When you moving back to Florida:wink:

Hey Ray,

Long time no hear,

Heads and cam are going on the next engine, I think heads and cam on this 170k mile original will make it explode

Don't see myself moving back to Florida anytime soon, how is it treating you?

Florida is doing me good. Low key, no stress, plenty time off what else could a guy ask for Just loving it! Lots of near by tracks, no smog/tree huggers, BS CA politics ect. Cost of living is the BIG plus....:smile:

Yeah, I hear you in regards to the heads and cam. Probably better play it safe and wait on the next engine to come around. Besides, you already have all the right bolt-ons for it.

Changing-up anything, what are you plans? I know it's going to be nasty

Glad you are doing well, sounds like your adapting to civilian life pretty well. DUDE - Cut you hair :tongue:

All those things you listed about FL have had me wanting to leave this state. CA sucks for everything but the weather and scenery.

As far as the car goes, I don't really have any concrete plans for it right now for anything major. I think I oughta get it painted before it gets too bad. After that I would really like to do a build-up like your old blue T-type. You cant beat 579 rwhp.

Civilian life is ok, still hard getting used to the idea of having total control of where I will be now and in the future. I am looking into coming back in as a reservist on ADSW orders.

UPDATE:

The boost spike issue is still there (working on a solution for that)

but, I figured out why my power curve drops off like a rock at 4800 rpm. Turns out these cars like to eat plugs. I had a set of R42ts plugs that installed maybe 8000 miles ago at .028 gap. I took them out to find the ground strap had been eroded more than I had ever seen from where the spark was jumping across. The gap had opened up to .040

I installed some autolite 23 plugs and the thing pulls like a freight train all the way to the shift point.

 

[Boost231]

wow i figured everyone changes the plugs in there car proir to going to the dyno. i always put new plugs in before dyno runs for that very reason

 

[Pablo]

the dyno was kind of a last minute thing. I also didn't think it would eat a set of plugs that quick. Lesson learned.
