The suspense is killing me - where’s the dyno sheets??!!

dyno sheet is in the trunk of the car and the car is in the trailer and the wing hits the tire rack so I can’t open it....we’re going to have to wait till tomorrow to find out. Any guesses?

[Mad Hatter]

Because your with E85, I would guess 475rwhp??

The dog was not impressed. Porsche fan???

 

[Mad Hatter]

Where's the doggone numbers?

 

[Mad Hatter]

So, if I remember right your engine is a Gen2 with a CJ manifold, 65mm TB, Ford CAI, LM cam, ARH lth and 3inch exhaust on E85 and corresponding injectors etc.?? So maybe 475 is a little high?? how about 465 rwhp

 

[Coz]

Since Shaun was able to dyno tune it in person, I'm thinking 480rwhp.

 

[Mad Hatter]

That would be very cool!

 

[Fabman]

I don’t remember the exact numbers and I don’t want to guess, so when I get the dyno sheet from the trailer tomorrow I will post a scan of it.

 

[Fabman]

Now Shaun has a mustang dyno and they read low, so a dyno jet would have bigger numbers. If we are going to guess, we should specify on what kind of dyno.

Such a tease...

Now remember, this is a junkyard motor with stock lift cams. It has nothing wild done to it. I did all the little “free” horsepower things like electric water pump, really good pan, hand fit crank scrapers, low amp boss alternator, extra pulleys delete etc. it even has tiny 1 3/4” headers. Nothing big and nothing wild. And of course A little tuning magic from AED. I am impressed with the results. Shaun was impressed with the results. Goes to show what can be done on a budget when you pay attention to the little details that are often overlooked.

I'll throw out 462whp on a Mustang dyno. 464whp if the dog gets on the dyno with Frankenstang.

 

[Mad Hatter]

When you think about it.... anything over 425rwhp is 500hp at the motor.... Maybe we are getting spoiled!!

While I am happy with the results, I’m still hundreds of hp less than my built motor so I’m not feeling very spoiled. Just satisfied.

with stock lift cams.

I thought you had L&M intake cams. If not, then I revise my estimate to 455rwhp on a DynoJet. I'm not sure what the difference is for a Mustang Dyno but I'll guess at 5% less at 432rwhp.

Do we get a prize??
