Well the purple beast goes for a dyno tune and a chip burn tomorrow. Finally got everthing taken care of and its ready.

I would like every to take a guess as to what the horse power will be with all the mods I did. The mods are in the sig. Keep in mind the final piece will the the custom chip they are going to burn after having it on the dyno for several hours.

Lets see who gets the closest.




I will start if off by saying 255 at the crank and 220 at the wheels.

Lets hear some other informed guesses.

 

240 HP @ the crank

300 lb/ft @ the crank

Good luck.

EDIT: off-subject, but what's your opinion of the aluminum driveshaft mod?

 

I'm guessing 207HP at the wheels.

 

what kinda dyno? the dyno jets alway say more while a mustang is closer to real world.

 

I too say 220hp and 300lb ft.

 

224 hp at the wheels.

I'm very interested in what you report since your setup is very similar to where I'm headed.

 

Gunny,

The drive shaft mod is one of those that will never make a difference by itself. With some other small mods added up it helps. But the physics is good, less rotating mass uses less horsepower.

91red,

Supposedly they have a mustang. But I have not seen it. I'll ask tomorrow.

 

And what's even better than both is track slips . Really though, a dyno number is nothing but a number used to tell you if you're making more or less power than baseline. Too many variables in the equation but if I were to guess I'd say 219.7 , what do I win if I'm the closest?

 

I'll have to come up with some kind of gag gift.

 

AZ, did you use the 305tpi heads? If so I will agree with Gunny on 240 at the crank with tuning. Should be about the same as a 305tpi with headers and tuning. My guess would be 218hp at the wheels.

Steve

 

Yes I do have the 305 tpi heads. 416 casting.

 

Oh and the track slips will be forth coming after I get it back from the shop. Weather is Phoenix is getting real good for racing.

 

I would say at least around 220 HP at the crank if they know what their doing. People here seem to have been able to make that with just bolt ons so I imagine a good tuner could easily surpass that if they set it up right.

 

I say about 210-220 rwhp if you can get it tuned right.

 

I'm going guy 215 or so RWHP, you really have a G92 305, with 1.6 rockers, exaust and TBI.

 

i"ll say 205 at wheels to hedge my bet.

 

Just dropped it off at 10:30 am. They should have it for a few days. We will see what happens.

 

Oh, and I asked them. They have a Mustang dyno.

 

i am also in az and i am looking for a shop that does chip burning. what shop are you going to? thanks

 

If you don't mind, how much is this costing you?

 

The shop is ADS - Automotive Diagnostic Specialists

They are on Chandler Blvd next to the Harley Dividson shop.

It's hard to say because they are also going to look at my overheating problem (I think it's tune related). But they told me going into this that it could cost anywhere from $500 - $1000. depending on how long it was on the dyno.

 

damn, that's expensive, but in the end it will be well worth it.

 

Yeah, I'm tired of messin' with it. I just want a car that runs nice. If that is what it takes then I will pay it.

 

I'm gonna have to go (based SOLEY on the sound of this beast) a couple grand at the rear wheels No seriously folks, I'd have to say 235 and the rear wheels. And for those that didn't get to see it already, watch this vid of azvolfan's car...

I don't think mustang dynos are that forgiving unfortunatly. He should be in the 14's though. That is what we should really focus on. As Dewey said, he basically has a G92 car with a full exhaust, better upper RPM power, and all tuned. Car should be loads of fun even with the L98 cam.

 

Based on the ported 416's, Full Exhaust, and an intake that's been around the block quite a few times, I'm gonna guess 225 hp and around 300 lbft at the rears.

Tony

 

Very true, that car looks like all kind of fun! Heck, in the what, 10ft that I drove it? Yeah, I liked it. Car is clean as all get out, too

 

I am intersted in finding out what she pulls at too since I more or less have the same set-up minus the suspension mods right now.

Sounds liek most of you guys figure around 200-220 at the rear. I am no expert but dont you think that is a little aggressive?.....but then again what do I know....regardless lets see what happens....I am interested in seeing what happens with this one for sure!

Bill.....so you gave up on the DIY burning eh.....

Dave

 

09/2003 dyno run was 220 HP rear wheels for me. 12.1/1 A/F on WB. phase 2 will be 12.7/1 A/F on WB with change of cam/manifold and 1/2 as much AE. air temps that day was 85 F with 100% humidiity. plan to run at 50 F and see what happens 11/2004.

 

What's the lift of the cam you're using?

 

.477/.480 CC computer cam

 

218 RWHP and 298 ft/lbs

You should have added at what point was was peak hp and ft/lbs

 

peak HP was at 5000 rpms. which is exactly whre the cam suggested it would be. i dont recall where the peak TQ was but it was a very flat curve and peaked at 267 ft lbs.

 

Yeah, I gave up on tuning it myself. I just don't undersand it. And have little time to do it.

 

I guess i'll be the odd ball, i'm going 245 horses at teh wheels and 300ftlbs. How much are they trying to bump up teh figures with the chip? Hoping to get my chip and headers done soon.

 

I didn't really give them any parameters for the chip. I probably should though. I'll talk to them about it, but for now they are working the overheating problem. Found a bad fan relay and a bad temp sending unit.

 

Are you still running the stock single fan Bill? Might be time to install a dual-fan setup with a manual switch...

 

Yep, still running the stock setup.

What I would like to do is a Be Cool radiator with their dual fan set up. Only runs $1100.

 

 

If you had a bad sending unit and a bad relay, I don't see why fixing those and maybe going with a different fan switch wouldn't help it enough

 

It should do the trick. I hope!

 

I need to get around to putting a new fan switch in mine doesnt kick teh fan on already replaced the fan motor as it was bad when i got it.

I need to talk to speed inovators out here for mine, they basically told me once its dynoed they will sit down with me, go through every thign that is done, what i want to do and how much power is acheivable through a chip. We'll see cant wait to see what happens with yours.

 

UPDATE.............

Well the fuel pressure was way too high. It was at 18lbs. The adjustable regulater would only go as low as 13lbs. So looks like it's back to a stock regulator. They are putting it on now and will keep me appraised.

 

Just got another call from the shop. The stock pressure regulator is on and the fuel pressure is down. It passed emissions with flying colors. It is next up on the dyno. He said on the dyno now is a Mustang Cobra with a Wipple Super Charger on it and they showed 667 hp on it. Plus it has nitro which they did not use on the dyno.

I said "Hey...Chevy before Ford!" He laughed.

 

When I went there to get my A/C done I was talking with the mechanic working on my car. In the parking lot was one of the most beautiful Shelby Cobras I had ever seen. I asked him about it, and he said it was a kit-cobra that dynod at 750hp and the rears. I bout jumped backwards and he said "Yup, thats one beast of a 502!" I thought for a sec and said, "Wait, isn't a 502 a chevy engine?" He looked at me and said "Yup, you wanna make a Ford run right, drop a Chevy in it!!"


I died laughing........

Still waiting to go on the dyno. They have been working a couple of Mustangs since the end of last week. They say I am next though.

 

Think it'll be done by Friday?

 

I hope so. If it is I will try to get off work early and get in a run or two at Firebird.

 

Lol hey our 34 ford has a 650 horse chevy 355 my dad built adn now he wants to supercharge it. Also a "kit car" glass body i've always told friends the only ford i'd own would have a chevy motor in it

3 days eh azvo, cant wait to see what she does. So what do we win if we guess teh before hp right?

 

I don't know. Haven't decided yet. I'll come up with something.
