97 Cobra fresh off the dyno

[Boost or Bust]

I had my 97 cobra tuned yesterday. Stock bottom end, stock manifold, 2.5 o/r h pipe and dyno max race bullets for " mufflers ". ( welding in actual mufflers today ) Vortech SCI running 8lbs, Treadstone 1045R intercooler, Anderson power pipe. Ford racing 47lbs injectors, BBK 255 intank fp, Sct BA3000 MAF. The car put out 400hp and 359tp. After that run the computer pulled timing due to heat. Thoughts? ( dyno info is being emailed, i will post it when i receive it. )

Cheers!!

Did you dyno on the same one before the blower?

 

[Boost or Bust]

No, the car was bone stock with 40,xxx miles.

Sounds about right.

That sounds pretty close to what it should be. I dynod ~460 to the rear with long tubes, exhaust, CAI, bigger TB, after cooled V1 Strim @ 10 psi.

The tuner said it has 12 degrees timing. From what I’ve been reading that is fairly conservative. Either way I’m happy with 400hp with the porcelain bottom end. I’m still waiting for the dyno printout.

 

[04DeadShort]

sounds about right for 8psi.

Hp sounds great, tq is on the lower side. Seems like its heat soaking fast. But timing plays a part. What fuel are you runnig? Might be the limiting factor. Power is not bad especially if its on stock heads and bottom end.

The most important thing is that you're happy with the 400whp and your seat of the pants dyno is smiling. That's decent power with your setup. Enjoy the ponies!

Good ol Canadian 91 octane and i forgot to mention we were having a torrential down pour of rain all day. The tuner said it was heat soaked, the computer was pulling timing and is more like 420-430ph but i seen 400hp on the screen so i believe its 400hp. Thanks for the positive comments. This winter i will buy Kooks 1 5/8 stepped to 1 3/4 to 3inch collector headers, rods and pistons to get 10:1 compression then hit the dyno again in May or so.

Cheers

My '97 with a P1SC on 8psi with similar mods to you made 420/395.

What dyno? Your car would be an excellent candidate for E85 especially given that you only have 91.

 

[Boost or Bust]

I used dyno authority in Ottawa. I’m not sure what kind of dyno. Not to many places to get e85 or I would. I just paid $1.86 for a litre of 91.

Nice changes you have planned. It will be interesting to see what you get on the dyno next Spring, especially since the conditions were less than ideal at your last session.

Is 12* of timing typical for this setup? With inlet temps under control I wonder if the engine can take more.

My tuner has mine set at 16* with 11psi on a non-intercooled setup on meth/water. 93 octane. I asked for a few more degrees and he wrote me off. It makes sense why now.

I have a S trim, forged bottem end, using a cx cooler and pullied down and still only making 8lbs, my IC stole a good amount of boost but my IAT stayed at ambient which was like 70 that day. I have LT, x pipe no cats SLP dumped at axle. 93 octane and made 451 and only revving to 5700 with 21 or 22 degrees of timing. 42lb injectors and aero 340 in tank pump. Id say your doing pretty good

Here is the dyno sheet.

I stopped at Da Silva racing in Toronto on Saturday. I’m going to run full exhaust, grab a t56 Magnum and call it even. I don’t race the car so I’m going to leave the engine alone. If I can’t live without more power…. I’ll buy another Ducati Panigale. ‍

Sounds like a nice setup! Have any pics?
