This is from my original post 700hp here I come so.....
**These are all 100% bone stock numbers**
Alright So I finally got my car on the dyno yesterday and unfortuantely wasnt so happy with the numbers but the weather correction was also terrible. First off the car was on a mustang dyno which inputs the weight of the car and all weather/altitude corrections. The dyno was brand new mine was the first car on it. The car was calibrated at 3500rpm in 4th gear 1:1 and everything seemed fine.
So what did it make??? It made 540hp/613ftlb torque on the rear tires. What we did notice while dynoing yesterday is just as soon as the car would start heating up on a pull it would drop the PSI on the charger the highest boost I seen yesterday was 14lb for a brief moment. With inlet temps at or around 110f. Now as much as the dyno tries to correct the weather/altitude it can't correct the car taking timing and boost from the car. Optimally the car would need to set and cool most likely overnight to see the numbers that are more realistic for the car...i feel like 120hp is one hell of a parsitic loss and is not accurate. We mapped the boost on the car and you could see it would run in the 14s at first and everytime at about 8 seconds it would start dropping boost we seen numbers as low as 11lbs on one pull. So what does this mean???? a. my car is weak as shit b. the car is trying to protect itself c. the dyno is reporting low on hp but making monster numbers on torque or d. it just needs to cool down for a good pull. The lowest number I recall seeing on any independent testing was a 585hp...well see more to come on the dyno.
I am interested to know for those who have dynoed there car how it was calibrated, what was the starting rpm, how long had it cooled, what was the gear everything. I believe I saw in the book that 4th is the 1:1 gear but after watching my dyno video and others seems like mine is pulling for a long long time while others seem to run up and through the rpm band fast as if in another gear. I'm not looking to make numbers for the sake of making numbers I just want a accurate reading and if 540 is the best this things got I am grossly let down.
Next up.....
Drag night....
So as many have said wringing a 11.xx out of this thing is tough any anything below 2.x 60ft on street tires is near impossible. How ford and these independent testers pulled it off no idea....i'm not the greatest driver by any means but I can wheel a car a little bit..
So the best I got for the night was a 12.28 1/4 with a 2.01 60ft on a .7522r/t and a 119mph trap speed...Best launch I was able to get was with the car in mode 7...LC on but not used I launched off the pedal...advancetrac and traction control in SPORT calibration. I tried every mode in the book.... let me tell you mode 4 everything off....thats a fun ride. The power and trap speeds this car has supplemented with a set of slicks would definatly be a low 11.xx car, but until then guess I'm stuck in the 12's.
I am still hoping that the tune will take the cars ability of dropping timing and boost out, but I sorta doubt it. I still have my parts on the way thus far I have recieved my innovators west 10% od pulley and my JLT carbon fiber big air intake. Its looking like tuesday on everything else. So as soon as I recieve everything and get it on Ill have some more numbers on the dyno and at the track hopefully next time with slicks.
