So, I got the baseline for the dyno today. It was done on a Mustang dyno (hence the seemingly (extremely) low numbers).

Stock HP - 219
Stock TQ – 219
Tune HP – 247
Tune TQ – 275
+28hp and +56ftlbs TQ

This is the tune I wrote myself. Not too bad IMO. My first tune, and I didn't blow it up! Lol. the numbers do seem very, VERY low, but its the difference that matters, really. I will be dynoing on this dyno for all my runs to come, so thats all that really matters.

Car is completely stock powerwise, except the tune. Can't complain as this power got me down to a 13.05, and we all know track times are all that really matters.

 

those are some impressive gains just from a tune

 

Thanks, i wish the numbers weren't so damn conservative though. But the gain was nice to see. I was hoping to see a few more hp, but the torque is a very nice gain.

 

13.05@ what mph?

 

13.05@111

 

on stock tires??

 

Nitto NT05. My best time on stock tires is 13.08 @110.

 

wow, thats pretty amazing, i thought my 13.2s were good on stock contis. Guess its time for new rubber

 

Yeah, the NT05's did not really help my times much, but the track was crap the last time i took her out. 60' on the 13.05 is a 2.095. I was expecting more like a 2.00 and some 12's.

 

cool cool, what then run you?? and are they basically for track only?

also the tire size

 

Those are decent numbers considering what your stock pulls were, which were sick low! So you have the right outlook IMO, its the gain that matters!

 

Apparently my tune was nasty rich. I didn't have a wideband, and I hadn't had a chance to log it in HPT. It was running about 12-12.5, ideally would have been running 13.2ish.

 

Nice MPH, that's where your money went

 

Where my money went??? I don't catch your drift.

 

Sorry I meant the car is making good power regardless of what the dyno readings are lol.

 

Oh yes, it makes great power, as evidenced by the 1/4 miles times. Dave (the owner) said the dyno is very conservative. It scares me to think my buddy's SRT put down 460 on the same dyno... Lol.

 

So you are saying that you thought you should run it to 13s? Thats extremely lean isn't it?

 

Not on an LNF.

 

makes me giggidy inside to get my nt05's on. maybe help with my 60'. the best run I had was 12.99 @ 111 with a 2.2 60' . Was cold out that day, 40*, excuses aside, I need to get that 60' down.

 

Yeah, they sure don't last long when you take em to the track. I have 12k-13k on mine, and I have new Falken Azenis RT615's in the shed waiting to be put on. Got prolly another 1k miles on the NT05's, then they are getting burnt off.

 

The NT's didnt help a thing at the drag strip for me. My track DOES suck fat **** tho... back to the switching to DR's on Friday nights.

 

Yeah, like I said, I saw a .02 60' decrease with the NT's, not enough to justify burning them off like that. I tried all sorts of different things with them suckers too. I would heat them alot, and it proved the same result as not heating them at all.

 

My track has decent prep on Saturday's. I've always liked it, it's just my 60's that need some work. Again, I've only been to the track twice since tuned and twice when stock (15 runs under my belt stock and only about 12 runs tuned)

Best run stock was 13.82 @ 104.5 with 2.21 60'
Best run tuned was 12.99 @ 111 with a 2.20 60'

Me and 2.2 60's love each other.

 

What else you got done? Cuz, I am tune only, and cutting the high 2.0 60's I could only muster the 13.05@111

 

It does make a difference at the track, but I don't NLS tuned (hit and miss with our tranny's). I'm bolted (dp, cp, airbox mod at time of 12.9 run) and tuned by Nick. Best trap I had was 113, would be higher with a lower 60' and if I didn't care about my tranny.

That was on stock conti's.
