10.5 is where its at.

 

10.5 is where its at, but cams also make a huge difference

 

^^^ LOLs - We must think alike. I think cams are a staple of mods for Evos like MBCs and TBEs.

 

how did u only dyno 289hp with ur mods???...evo 9s come stock with 286hp

 

WHP and BHP difference.

AMS uses a dynojet and I would have expected something north of 330 WHP with the listed mods. A low reading/heartbreak dyno might say around 290 WHP. All depends on calibrations.

I believe a stock IX pulls around 250-260 WHP on a dynojet for reference. Anyone correct this? If our cars made 286 WHP stock, that's be pretty neat! But all car companies use BHP for engine power benchmarks which is lame.

 

I thought those readings were low for the mods listed too. Probably just how the dyno was calibrated.

286 stock whp would be nice!

 

Meth or Turbo, the IX's in my opinion don't get the bang for the buck from cams that the VIII's do. The stock IX camshafts are pretty damned good especially if you tune the mivec properly.

IX's already have a 10.5 hotside.

 

I was thinking of getting cams next but it's a hard pill to swallow when having to break into the block to add power. It's so much easier just to bolt up a TBE or a MBC then pulling the top of the block off.

 

if the dyno is a mustang the that whp is just about ryt.

 

yeah im hoping to get tuned soon with cams and prolly the uicp to just throw on for better flow and all my mods above im hoping to put down 340-375 whp on a dyno dynamics...what do you guys think?

our cars have 286"HP"......this post clearly stated he dynoed with 289"HP"...how does he have so little if our cars have 286 stock

do u see what i mean now?

 

Those numbers above are BHP numbers. If you get your vehicle dynoed, they will give you a number in WHP. This is the power after the drivetrain loss of 10-20%. 289 WHP on a mustang is actually a very good number is is pretty close to 320-330 WHP on a dynojet. That is about 360-375 BHP, but no one measures power on BHP. It's impossible unless you take the motor out and have a special machine to do it.

And you know all dynos read differently per brand, and more importantly per calibrations. You can make a dyno read whatever you want, but the important thing it does it allows you to see actual before and after power differences. In reality, it is a poor way to determine how powerful a car is. I'm a believer in trap speeds.

I'd slap my tuner if he tried to give me a number in BHP.

 

hahaha i kind of understand i guess lol not really ha thanks thou man

 

NP. PM me if you want me to explain it all.

 

i did gsc cams and picked up 41hp and 45 tq before and after tune numbers from mellon with just to mods in my sign i should be making around 341hp and 326tq.... y did you upgrade fuel pump? and what do u mean by cables jw? ditch hks ssqv stock bov is good for 25 psi or so mine holds 22psi better than my forge bov did ever
