I doubt it will be me; no pully. But I'm hoping to show a gain now that the Cat-Back is on.

Not yet.

That's Brett. He hangs out on Stangnet as "JetBrett".

I was at the last dyno day with the obnoxiously loud exhaust and measly 300rwtq.

There is a Mineral Grey '03 Cobra vert around the neighborhood now to. Lives off the green of the 10th hole in Gleneagle.

Yellow vert lives by Rick, literally around the corner and there is a sweet sounding red GT running around town I'm trying to track down. And then of course the random sixers. Bleh.

^^o yea ok i remember you.

Ok, now that the date is set, someone please educate me so I don't sound like a complete moron on the 9th.

1. A/F, I assume that is Air/Fule ratio. Am I right? And how do you change it? Is that part of a tune? What is optimum?

2. When your car is all hooked up who "drives" it?

3. How high is it revved and for how long? What gear?

Like I told you, this is all new to me. The last time I was messing with engines it was on my old '68 Cougar. Now THAT engine, I can understand.

 

[team23jordan]

you can play with your AF with predator

you drive your car

it depends your rpm limiter, how fast your car can get up to redline and depends the car


watch the dyno video

 

[wizbangdoodle]

Ok, where's the video?

 

[ltngstrucktwice]

TJ, stil need the MAF?

 

[wizbangdoodle]

Never mind, I found it.

 

[Joe5.0]

U put it in fourth gear then hammer it, to redline line or whatever.

 

[team23jordan]

Pretty much the idea.

Wizbang-

You drive it up onto the rollers where they strap the car down. Once everything is secure they'll have you put the car in gear and slowly ease into it just as if you're starting your car from a stop.

Take it easy with nice smooth shifts from 1-3, once you shift into 4th your going to go wide open throttle all the way until redline or as high as you need. Most people just hit the the rev limiter and let off.

It's important you NEVER hit the brakes (this would be bad news), and usually it's a good idea to put in the clutch immediately and then into neutral gear while it coasts back down to zero speed.

It's pretty simple, but if you're not comfortable or want to watch they can do it for you... or even Mean Saleen Jr. since he knows the process. :uh oh:

 

[RickSvt]

15-1700rpms....HIT IT..

Rick

 

[wizbangdoodle]

I read about Mean Saleen Jr. and his exploits, no thanks

It was very interesting watching the video from the last time you guys did this. I am very interested in my hp #'s. I had taken my car into Bickford to have them check out the head tick TSB. They said there was nothing wrong and Ford recommends doing nothing at this point. If hp #'s are low I'll have something to bitch about.

 

[RickSvt]

what do you have done there wizbang??
