did a few runs this morning now that the tune is getting closer to being on.... at 22/23 psi
3rd gear - 365 hp / 330 tq
4th gear - 395 hp / 360 tq
I am pretty sure by these numbers, i should be running 11's on pump gas pretty easily with a decent launch. I'd like to throw it on the dyno, but H and H's is reading very low. I suppose i could throw it back on there when the tune is done and i will see how much HP the turbo gave me. The car is strong though. I hold 23 psi with no taper to redline. I've still got some room to play with as far as the tune goes. My EGT's are still only 1300* and somehow i am only hitting about 260 in my 2 byte load cells. I have seen people hit as high as 290 with just cams... so i should be able to find that power with the right combo of timing and fuel

Hey Jason. Do you have your EGT hooked to a runner or after the turbo?
Also(evo flash 101) What kind of pressure unit is the load cell. is it kpa or baro or some kind of average. Ive never messed with it..just curious.

I don’t know what I was reading, but I just realize that you got cams and a 20g. Great man. Throw that thing on the dyno and play with your timing. who cares about low numbers on the mustang. You already know what AFR's you want, pick a load, go 1K rpm at a time and find peak torque(not insulting your intelligence, stating obvious "for some"). Have fun. You said 11's on pump. I say "you better"


if i ever get my car fixed and down here, i will put it on H&H's to compare it to BR's.

yeah sean, knowing my luck... you will hit like 450hp 500 tq lol.... Then i have no excuse lol.
Bobby, my egt is in my downpipe right below the O2 housing. As far as the type of load cell, i have no idea to be honest, i just know what i have hit in the past prior to cams (about 280 at times)... im sure as the tune gets tighter, my load will increase. For now, im going to clean my intake filter to help with getting air into the turbo, Im also looking for another intake if any of you have one available. Id be willing to trade as well. I wish i could throw it on the dyno and adjust the numbers until my tq is as high as i can get it without knock... but, that is the benefit of having an ems with live tuning. Good news is, from what i hear, ecuflash is coming to that really soon, i just dont have it now. So i have to run, look at the log, look at the dynograph and adjust accordingly. Then run again, and manage to keep my temps down to at least get a somewhat repetitive result. Bobby you need to get back here so you can give me a hand

.... i need to flow more air into that thing i think.... Other then that, it feels great. Got a question for ya... can you PM me whatever parts los has available or you for that matter. I may want to pick up that hot *** exhaust mani cover you got on there now

yeah i know... would be nice..... i have logworks now as well, just trying to get it work with Vista. Logworks is pretty nice. Tuning my car isnt as easy as the viii... you have the MIVEC to play with and there is a lot of power to be had with a good mivec map. I have a great one in the car now, and i am working with a guy in order to maximize things... give me about a week, and ill throw it back on the dyno to see where im at after the turbo install. I'm also trying to track down a few mods here and there...
if anyone is getting rid of there hks rs intake, i'll take it off your hands. I've been looking at the buschur intake, but i'm not sure if i want it or not, i cant make up my mind. Jason, we have to meet up so you can check out the painted wheels. If you decide you want to do yours, it wont take but about 2hours and about $20. The paint dries in 12 seconds. Let me know.

Jason. I got a RMR intake in my car if you wanna try out. Its the only thing nice and shiny in my car
I know how you like pretty stuff. .....j/k. If not I got plenty of material at the shop to make you one, 3, 3 ½ or 4

Actually RMR is one of the ones i was looking at, but i cant take the intake you are using... that just wouldnt be nice ! Maybe when you get back we can give it a try and see if i am flowing any better with it. My problem is my choice of intakes are limited because of the ACD reservoir being so close and the fact that i dont want a bottle neck. I may have to break down and get the buschur if Justin doesnt come thru. Im definitely getting a new DP though.
