Ted Y Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 So, I found this hole in the wall little dyno place in the 'hood. I kept telling the operator that my car was a Corvette. But, he kept saying, "Yeah, yer Stang is real nice. Please Don't Blow Up, BRO!" I thought this was really odd. But since I had driven all that way on a Saturday and he said he would run it for the price of a burger and fries, I went ahead and let him strap it down on the rollers. My car is completely stock with the factory intake, paper filter and factory GM tune. Stay "tuned" for future updates! On the first run in blue, the engine oil was about 145F. Once it fully warmed up, the second two runs were almost identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Y Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 At least it's not red, right Phil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Where does it end?? Exactly! Let me rephrase....have you set any goals like 500 rwhp, or a certain elapsed time, or perhaps something more esoteric like horsepower to weight ratio? @Chad, I'll take your word for it bro!

Ted Y Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 The next step is a full exhaust and CAI. I'm planning a series of improvements that will allow me to stop at any given time. Not just engine stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old yeller Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's not totally stock. The black hood stripe adds 10 hp on the butt dyno.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Fangs Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's not totally stock. The black hood stripe adds 10 hp on the butt dyno.... I understand that the first run did not have the stripe. While maximum HP dropped a little, the under-the-curve performance picked up remarkably. Quite a result, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I was pleasantly surprised to be over 350 rwhp from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Why surprised at 355? She's supposed to be 405 at the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 A 15% driveline loss would be 61 hp which would be 344. It's like a free 11 hp! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I think those are "old school" numbers. I think today's technology leads to less parasitic loss through the drive line. Plus a manual usually has less loss than an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azmotorhead Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I have faith that Ted (or Jaque) knows exactly when to stop the mods. And if they dont I certainly do. Thank goodness its not RED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Y Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I was blindfolded in the trunk. Actually, I have a friend who did a personal favor and does not wish to advertise. So, I'm respecting that. This thread is about my car, not a dyno instrument. I already owe a left kidney as a repayment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
