Well the time has finally come to get this thing dynoed! I'm getting the car dynoed on a mustang dyno on Friday. I'm a tuning novice and the guy doing the tuning isn't familiar w/ hptuners so if there is anyone out there who wants to come to Owensboro to watch or add your 2 cents please feel free. I'm hoping to make over 300 hp, but I've seen other modded cobalts make less so I'm kinda worried. For everyone else who wont be there, I will bring my video camera.

 

If you don't make close to 300, I'll be as pissed off as you.

 

I should make more than 300...but I guess we'll see

 

if it is a true mustang dyno 260 tops

 

good luck.
what kind of dyno machine will you be going on?

dynojet, i predict 320whp. the added compression, and ported head should make good #s. the only thing that could hold you back would be clutch slippage. i see in your mods list you have one ordered, but not installed. idk if the stock clutch will be able to hold down all that power.

no way, did you read that mods list?

i made 245/214 on a mustang with only a 2.9, 42s, intake and catback.

 

good luck. Would love to see some more people making 300+ whp.

 

he dosent have an intake or exhaust, that might hold him back, or maybe he has so much crap, he didnt feel the need to list it..?

 

I have more mods I just couldn't fit them. I will be moving them to my garage soon. K'n intake, 4-2-1 header, magnaflow 2.5 inch exhaust. I will be trying out a 3.0", 2.8" and a 2.6" pulley to see which one is best. Oh and I fixed my sig, the clutch is already in.

 

mustang dyno around me 2.5 pullied guys put down 230's that is a true mustnag dyno

 

i would be weary of going to a 2.6, but with forged pistons you should be ok. i think you'll make 300+ on a dynojet with the 2.8 you've got on there already. (cold weather rules)

what kind of dyno do they have at the shop you are going to?

 

Well to campare a stage three srt made 350 hp and 360 tg on the same dyno, which is pretty consistent with other dynos. He said it was a load based dyno so I'm not sure if it is a true mustang dyno. I just know that he has tuned tons of cobras and mustangs.

 

thats a stingy freakin dyno. what do you guys run at the track though.. thats all that really matters.

 

i trap 107+ on and off the throttle so i guess i don't care

 

mustang dynos dont have to have mustangs on them, its just a manufacturer of the dyno.

 

i think your car will do over 300 whp then

 

I just looked it up in the phone book and it is a superflow dyno.

 

^yeah, probably 320ish. maybe more if youre lucky.

 

what is the grind on the cam if you don't mind me asking? pm me if you don't want to post please

 

how about more then me? lol cant wait to see this video

 

I sent it to crower and told them I wanted to make more top end hp and this is what they sent me:
Intake 264deg lift .417
Exhaust 260 deg lift .408
I had originally planned on reving it past seven grand but Ferrea sent the wrong springs and three months later have still not reimbursed me.

 

bump to see if anyone wants to come

 

i believe you will be disappointed. the power lies in the tune.

 

I bet Area could pull some sick numbers off that car. Do it!

 

That's why I'm hoping someone will come. Is there any one from western Kentucky or southern Indiana out there?
