Larry usually does dyno'ing in 4th with our cars

I know where you are going and I asked Larry the same thing last year (won't 5th yield higher numbers cause it's 1:1?). So we did a back to back test with my car at an open house there last season (a 5th gear pull and a 4th gear pull), they were within 1hp of each other lol.

So maybe the mustang dyno is compensating for it somehow. (recognizes speed vs accel difference?)

Plus 5th puts a ton of load on the engine/drivetrain.

Nice numbers Randy...enjoy it...that things gonna be fun on the street!

WIN!!!

Reminds me of my car with the backfires and the flames

 

Home at 12:45am. At work now. Car works like stock but the power is insane!!!
Larry at SP was great about the whole trip. He checked in with me as I made my way across what seemed like the entire United States. Damn Ohio and PA are long *** states!!!
Everything spot on. Engine temp never moved, oil temps on point, everything where it should be. I am looking to do an oil change soon, as the motor is still somewhat new.
Amsoil 15x50. Still unsure if I should do regular or synthetic. Whatever, I'll figure it out.
Car is Awesome. I love it.

As Larry stated, I'm sure, a set of original factory 20G's might still outperform my set-up, but for what its worth, I am very happy with the tune and the power the car is making.

Throttle on/off is smooth, I just gotta get used to the 2 step feature. Kinda of killed a nice potential run, when I covered the clutch and the fuel cut dropped me out. The car is currently set up with a 2 step, since I anticipate much track time this year. At present the RPM limit is set at a very conservative 4000 rpm. So with this, I can floor the gas and hold the clutch down, and the rpm's don't go past 4K...that is, until I release the clutch fully.
Then, its get-out-of-my-way time!!

Oh Yeah, and Larry the tweek you made to the cold start worked perfectly. Today was 2 cranks and Vrooom!!

 

Thanks to Larry for awesome Tuning
Thanks to Jerry aka Traction Control for engine Building...I gave him a big hug before leaving...no homo.
Thanks to Vince for engine building assistance and comedy relief
Thanks to Reid for taking all of my money you bastard!, but you made up for it with cool video's.

 

Congrats on getting your car back. Enjoy it and be safe.

edit-you have to edit your sig now

 

You're very welcome Randy! Enjoy it!!


I really didn't think that it was physically possible to get your arms around something as large as Jerry? How did you manage to do it?

 

Congrats, change your sig

 

what fuel pump are you using?

 

CJ hanger with twin walbros.

 

just amazing guys!! i still think u should do a seperate "shop build" thread for this!! u deserve it!!!

 

Nice vid and nice powa!!!!

 

Im jealous and sad now

U gotta love the "fat guy in hatch" traction control!!

 

Larry,
Shouldn't he be working on a silver G35 coupe???? lol

Great work guys!!!!

How many other shops can you drive a car on a 800mile venture right outta the shop without incident???

How long was the trip back?

 

Initially the GPS said 13.5 hours at the start of my trip.
Total travel time 12.5 hours

 

thats it

lol im sure you had a fun drive!!

 

Yeah, well, I'd like to see you do it with no radio. Due to the placement of the 128 box (best under the pass seat), Larry had to disconnect my amplifier which left me MUSIC-LESS!!!!! If that's a word! It was painful, until 3/4 thru the trip, I remembered I had music on my Blackberry. Thank God for BlackBerry's. That made the last 3 hours go much quicker.

 

was the original harness long enough or did it have to be modified to place it there? pix?
