Finally dyno tuned

[BdJames]

Finally hit the rollers for my first dyno experience. Just have basic bolt ons. Jlt cold air, orx, cat back exhaust, 2.93 billetflow with idler, green hd belt, tr6 gapped at .32. 437/431

 

[BdJames]

I was hoping to get a little above 440. But the car drives and idles amazing so I have no complaints. This was on a dyno jet.

Port that eaton and get a 4# lower and youll see an extra 50rwhp

Congrats man! If it drives good and feels strong that's all that matters. Looks like it was hot out, 92* the dyno sheet shows.

Nice numbers. Enjoy that Terminator and be careful getting caught into the dyno numbers game it can get expensive.

 

[CobraBob]

Nice setup and glad you're very happy with it.

A little low for your mods imo.
A few questions, timing and your a/f?
I also agree, the rollers are only a tool, and it was warm.

i would love to, but I think I will just skip that step and go whipple.

It does drive great and pulls hard. It was very hot that day and my best numbers were on the 5th pull. I'm still thrilled with it. Thanks man

Thanks man, and don't we all get caught in the numbers. How comfortable is that drive? said no man ever!!:rockon:

appreciate it, I love my carepper:

My tuner was trying to get fuel to 11.9-12.0. I believe it finished at 12.xx-12.1. I forget what timing was on the last pull, but it was 23* on the previous, I think.
I know the dyno is to make the car run its best and safest, but who doesn't want to hit high numbers?

Every few months Cincinnati Speed will have a dyno day. You can make 2 passes for 50$ with no tuning just to see the numbers. I think I might do that next time on a cooler day just to see how she does. My car was heat soaked like a mofo.

Thanks for all the kind words.

I just realized I never introduced myself or my car since joining. Let me correct that. My name is Brett, I live just north of Cincy, OH. Here is my 04. Just hit 25k miles.

Car looks nice. Most tuners like the sweet spot for safe tune on these cobras at a max 11.8 a/f ratio. That 12-12.1 is pushing it imo.

I agree, but my tuner knows more about it than I do so I left my trust with him. They have a race team and he does all the tuning so I think he is a safe bet. I will double check to make sure I didn't just make up those numbers.

Congrats nice CO convertible I'm in Kettering not too far from you. 12 to 12.1 is a hair on the leaner side WOT 11.5-11.8 is better from what I read.

That seems to be the consensus. I will have to talk to my tuner and see. I live in Middletown but I work in Kettering. The pictures all have too much sun apparently because my car is torch red. Not co

nice op!

I don't think he needs a 4# lower to gain 50 rwhp... That can be achieved with a good port! Mine went from 441rwhp to 491rwhp with a port and stock TB, same dyno.

 

[keno5366]

Did you have to upgrade the maf sensor to achieve that ?

Not bad numbers! Is that Paul's high performance in michigan that did the work? They're pretty reputable so I wouldn't worry much about the afr and what not. Most tuners do try for 11.6-11.8 but they cram more timing in, he might have done more on the leaner side but put in a couple less degrees. Two different ways of getting to the same end goal. Congrats on getting her done and enjoy it a while!

Meh he said the timing was 23*, that's not less.

OP: you should just double check and ask them, also invest in a wideband gauge.
