wow talk about late post.


Either way, dyno inc.

 

Did dyno inc get things settled with the shop move yet? I'd like to get my car over there again sometime soon. Both cam gears were retarded by ~2.3 deg. Yea, it probably isn't much but the weather is getting better too..

 

where the hell are you still getting this 15% thing?!?!?!?!

 

Homemade and i both agree and know that the reason the mustang reads the way it does is because of max gross weight of the car, and drag coefficient...these combined with the dyno calculations simulate true road conditions day to day and therefore read lower as the true load on your car is simulated. The Mustang prints the Hp & Tq you will actually have and use at the wheels on any given day of the week. it is one of the best dynos for tuning, especially a street driven machine.

 

yes, dyno has been recalibrated and I would love to see what your changes have done to the S4


^^how am I getting dragged into this?^^^ any how, I don't know what percentage it is as we haven't had enough tested, known, values

 

I'd like to get over there again this Saturday, after work.. maybe 2:30 or 3PM. Will you guys be around that late? I'll pay the standard rate but two pulls is enough for me to get an accurate chart. The third one just puts the car into heat soak.

I'm trying to understand exactly how the car's weight affects the mustang dyno. My car weighed exactly 3500 lb on a certified truck scale, without me in it. IF your dyno computer inputs a higher standard weight, how can the hp number be accurate for how it would accelerate on the street? I definitely want to use whatever value was entered the last time for this pull. I'm just trying to understand the mustang dyno.

Regarding trying to guess what an accurate dyno # would be for my car:
My car runs approx. 3.7-3.8 second "FATS" pull, as recorded by my laptop. FATS is a standardized data logging acceleration test for audis, "for advancement of the S." It's accelerating (on straight flat road) from 4200-6500 in 3rd gear, which is 58-91mph. It allows everyone to record the same data with their laptops and compare numbers. Someone online corrected the numbers for a C6 vette, and it "allegedly" does the same acceleration in 4.0 seconds. That's why I assume my car should have at least 400 crank hp/tq.

The best true hp indicator is the 1/4 mile.. assuming I don't hit the rev limiter and miss gears, etc. Does anyone have plans to hit the dragstrip soon? I'd like to make a few passes before winter hits. thanks

 

I won't be there myself as I'll be at the windtunnel (I'll tell Dr. Ash you say hi ). I would really like to see what your weight changes would have on the Mustang's algorithms as changing the variables on the other cars has reflected no real difference in numbers.
Also, the dyno was recently recalibrated and is now reading a bit higher.

 

i wish i could be there but im making a road trip that day

 

Hey slut...dont give me that bullshit!!!

 

* better?
