I'm only running 20-22 psi and I believe my cams are 272s. I don't know the difference between the cams. I will be going to a smaller cam so I can get more torque down low. FMIC is better quality and this is on a T3 set up

This was done on AMS's DynoJet which does provide better numbers then there Mustang dyno

I'll bet if you go to a good exhaust header and the standard T3 housing you could make way more.

 

Unfortunately with today there are certain standards and number people are used to. 400whp on a larger turbo was cool 4 years ago.

Well as long as you're happy...

 

Your cams are much more aggressive than my Comp Cam 272 and have been proven to make more power than my cams. The T3 set is also helping a ton and is in the plans for my car eventually. I know my FMIC is hurting me, since I made more power at 28psi than at 31psi. It is evident that my FMIC can't flow the power and again is a part that will be changed shortly. I can say with 100% certainty that with GSC or Keldford 272s and a better FMIC, the car would have been very close to 390whp on the Mustang dyno.

 

This was a baseline for my 3076, the plan is an ETS 4" IC, short route UICP and Skunk2 IM, this alone should boost the power pretty well. The next step is more aggressive cams and a T3 setup. This will far exceed the 400whp mark, even on my conservative tune. I really don't care what the Evo community thinks is cool. Until the Evo community starts to make my car payment, I will continue to stay on the mod path I have planned.

 

But in all fairness you posted up your "Dyno results" on one of the most aggressive bench racing sites out there. Eventhough we are harsh as far as critiques 9/10 the mob is right. You have to hold your breath and nuts when posting something like this.

Any pics of the car?

 

Oh I know. I got more frustrated with people not reading the entire first post. I put a decent amount of info in there that people ignored then started comparing apples to oranges. I do have pics of the car but will post them later as I am on my BlackBerry at the moment.

 

Ahhh I see now. Ok sorry for the confusion. Your wording and alcohol mixed made me miss that.

 

i just put down 475hp with the same "junk" intercooler. without touching timing and at a meager 26psi. i gotta give the mishimoto credit. it may be a cheap ebay hunk of crap but it holds its own. when i was still on pump gas i put 33psi thru it.

 

I agree. I wouldn't say this IC is junk, but there are much better options like an AMS, Buschur or ETS IC. I got a screaming deal on the IC and at that time I was planning on staying on the stock turbo, which this IC would be fine for, but the 30R simply moves more air and this IC is having a hard time keeping up over 30psi.

 

 

You should try leaning out the top end to something between 11.1-11.5 to pick up some more power and still be very safe. How much timing are you running?

 

The tuner told me, but I have since forgotten. I need to get a better IC before I do anything more, because the Mishimoto is just not able to keep up. It is doing a good job at 25psi, but to make some real power I am thinking about an ETS 4".

 

Agreed my man or AMS

 

I wouldn't say your intercooler is holding you back as much as that atp kit is. Do your car a favor and do one of two things.

1) Get a T3 manifold and hotside
2) see if atp sells their new bolt on hotside separately

The old school kit is junk. You might feel the atp feels faster up top but you were faster with your stock turbo.

 

I highly doubt that... I have graphs from when I had my stock turbo and I am making both more power and tq. Sure the turbo spools a little later, but it would destroy my stock turbo. I would hardly say the kit is "junk", is it the best, no, but not "junk". Also, the IC is a major hold back for me. Trust me, I was there when the car was being tuned and at the dyno day. We could run more boost and more timing with a better IC, which means more power.
