DYNO: car is a beast, tires not up to it.

[encasedmetal]

I drove 2.5hr each way and took the car to my good friend Rick at amazon tuning to finish up the car today. I can't say enough about the guy as he goes far and above what any tuner has to. huge thanks to him. well, I brought everything I needed with me except good tires- they spun on the dyno like crazy today. and it's my fault cause I just let the car sit most of the time (it did turn 39k miles today though) and the rear tires are 6 years old and hard. we even took the air pressure to 24psi and put myself and another guy in the trunk to help but no dice after 5k the car just burns them off-huge smoke cloud! anyways I did get readings you guys would appreciate on the mustang dyno there- the run had 15*, 93oct, 15psi and was pulled to 5k. It did 571tq for reference in the graph. We finished all the tuning and WOT afr runs with 17.5psi and 6800rpm but couldn't get accurate numbers with the spinning- so enjoy

top edge of blue=tq
top edge of red=hp
with the green, do you see how it looks like it twists in the middle? the top of the left part and the bottom of the right part is the AFR. so it should look linear to you that way

Got it lol.. Good power for sure!

So it made something like 59x/57x? Nice!

More fun to drive than with the Procharger?

yeah at 5k though. should pull another 100 or so on the hp with the addition of rpm and that other 2.5psi it pullied for. not bad for a little 281ci and pump gas though. it's more fun to drive in the sense that I don't have to rev to the sky to get my kicks in, and it's quieter. of course that means the exhaust is louder to me now though lol

she likes the idea of it being sold. me too honestly. I've done and learned everything I've wanted to with the car so far. it's time to move on for real this time.

So you think the car is more enjoyable than with the F1 blower? No detonation issues with 10:1 compression and pump gas?

no detonation issues since I'm running relatively low boost and only 15* degrees timing. if someone wanted to run E85 in the car and up the boost it would be crazy. and afr is 11.2-11.4 afr at WOT. and I do think it's more enjoyable as I don't have to be hauling ass to be in boost now.
