Hey guys,
I’m still wrapping up my auto swap but wanted to share some dyno numbers with you.
We did not increase the boost or try to squeeze any extra power out of this setup. Gear Heads just threw it on the dyno to monitor A/F and timing and to make sure it maintained its conservativeness…
Setup:
2001 Cobra, Teksid block, stock crank, forged internals, stock 03 Cobra heads.
Stock Hellion single turbo kit; Turbonetics 76mm.
Supporting mods.
T-56, 3:55 gears, 26” tires:
634rwhp/601rwtq @ 18lbs boost, pump gas, can’t remember how much timing
TH-400, 3:27 gears, 28” tires:
608rwhp/708rwtq @ 17lbs boost, pump gas, 13* timing
I was surprised… thought I would have lost more HP and NEVER would have thought that I would have gained 100ft-lbs of tq!
I haven’t even floored it yet but just messing around in 3rd gear on the highway on the 10lb setting has already made the swap worth it. The power is there just waiting…. Unbelievable how quick the car is. I will be experimenting with it more this week…
Unfinished Items:
Speedo not wired up yet but have a good write up for it
Reverse lights not hooked up yet
Neutral Safety Switch not working as i can start car in gear
Things to learn:
How to use trans brake properly/effectively
How to use 2-Step with trans brake and determine if it’s even needed
I will post some pics sooner or later. Just excited and wanted to share with you guys...
Thanks,
Steve
