Got my car Dyno Tuned this weekend... Videos!

So after much anticipation of what this thing would put down, I finally got a chance to get it on the Dyno and I'm pretty happy with the results. How's 406 RWHP / 382 torque on a Mustang Dyno sound... Not too bad. These were the uncorrected numbers, weather corrected was 383/361. Stock bottom end revved to 6500 RPM's and it loved every second of it. Topped out around 116 mph in 4th with 4.11 gears. Made quite a few pulls so my brother could finish tuning it, including some 1/4 mile runs. Just need to get a copy of my dyno sheet now.

Stock 2002 LS1 shortblock, Stage 2 T56, LS6 intake, 243 heads, 230/238 600 lift cam, Long Tubes, Strange S60 with 4.11 gears.

1/4 mile could have been better. I think it was mid 12's at around 116 mph with junk tires.

Re: Got my car Dyno Tuned this weekend

The car runs out of gear in 4th just before the 1/4 is up, spins way too much off the line, but it is fun as hell. I'll be getting some taller sticky tires over the winter. I can tell you that I need a lot more seat time for launching this thing. I'm way too used to the old 225 rwhp 305/auto and just crushing the gas off the line... not with this!

Here is a 1/4 mile simulation with my brother driving. He also tuned it for me, he's real good at it.

That all out effort on the dyno was fun to watch! I've never seen anybody do that before.

Real, real fun to drive also. I've never seen it either, and it is fun to watch, I'm still watching it... haha! I've never done it before and it is a different feeling slamming through the gears and not really going anywhere...

We really put it to the test, and it never skipped a beat! Made about 5 runs in the 1/4, and probably 8 or 9 dyno pulls. A couple of the dyno runs he timed, 60 mph to around 115 mph, trying different timing settings. I think the best was like 7.1 seconds just leaving it in 4th gear until it hit the rev limiter.

Nah, those straps are race proven... haha. Honestly I was a little nervous at first, but after like the third time you stop worrying so much because it's just so cool to see. Only thing I did was make sure to get away from the rear tires in case one blew...
