Coming soon...
-TTP Mustang dyno tune on 93 octane

Really want to stick to a "Stock turbo/full bolt-on status," but will entertain the idea of Kelford or Cosworth 272's if needed...(No meth or water injection though)

Thanks for any input!

 

With cams, a good tune/tuner, and on a Dynojet you should be in the right neighborhood.

Good luck,
Coach

 

Depends big time on the dyno, but I hit 371whp on AMSs dyno with our only difference being an IC and piping (which I believe I got about 20whp with a perrin filter).

 

on a "typical" mustang dyno...no, not on pump gas (excluding e-85)

a typical evo 9 can make 330-350 whp on a dynojet on 93 octane

a typical evo 8 needs cams to match a stock cammed 9's numbers on 93 octane

 

Depending on your tuner that should be attainable.. Look into some cams though. Perhaps some kelford 272's or something such as that.

 

i am at 360 currently on a ttp tune on his md dyno...

u will need cams in my opinion to reach the goal

I have pretty much everything u have plus hks 272's and a DLI

 

Will the valvetrain need upgrading if I run either of those cams?

 

i have no idea about kelford or cozzies, but you dont for the hks's...that kinda played into my decision as I wanted around 345-370 with minimal lag

 

^^Good advice

You probably can obtain that number with turning the boost up pretty high, 24-25 psi, or you could install cams, spring, and retainers and definitely get those numbers while keeping the boost lower.

 

this is it, exactly

you dont need them , but why not get them if youre already going to be in there. they are nice insurance

 

You'll need atleast a set of cams and be somewhere around 310-330whp. 350whp on a mustang is real good power with bolt-ons.

 

You'll get roughly 340's with a conservative tune , I'm estimating. Maybe 320-330 if u didn't get the cams. Fmic will also help to hit that 350 reliably while keeping the tune conservative...

 

A perfect example of this would be a about 2weeks ago, E-Spec was tuning a GG evo9 and with less boost the car made more power because there was too much restriction from the stock intercooler and a cat. A larger FMIC will help you out on your way up to 350+AWHP, as well as cams.

 

if you get a TTP tune, he will manipulate your numbers so you can have as much power as you want. haha

 

awesome feedback guys! keep it coming
