no not a literal one.....i dont think anyways. BUT i did my trickflow top end kit and like ive said before i did not get near the power that i sould have from it. i personaly have no clue what the issue may be but im hoping someone here can throw out some ideas. i had it dynoed (not a new chip burned) and they used that to get the timing close and the A/F ratio very close (little rich).

i spoke to one guy at a dealership and he said that wiht that cam my car doesnt have enough of a vacume? i duno about this but it would make sence i guess. otherwise the only things that i know on my car that could use fixing is a small exhaust leak and i want ot change my o2 sensors.

anyone got ideas? sugjestions? just need help BAD

What were the dyno numbers? Why didn't you get a chip burnt?

Goosepoop302

they just threw it on the dyno for free

i only had 248 HP and like 290 TQ, would getting a chip burned make that differance?? also if i do whats it gunna cost?

Yeah, those sn computers are touchy dude. Does it run funny at all?

well jst talked to trick flow they said that a custom chip souldadd about 20 HP not sure about how much torque.

also apparently a mustang dyno will read about 15 hp shy of say a dynojet dyno SO if i had 35 more HP ide prolly be close to where i thought i would be.

anyone know where to get a exhaust leak fixed or how much that generally costs if its the header collecter to the h pipe collecter?

I'm sure that if this is your issue you'll get more than 20 hp out of it, you should be pushing close to 300 with that set up bro.

About the exhaust leak, is the nut just loose or is something broken?

id say ur WAY low lol...... u should make atlest 285 to the wheel. your only makin 290-300 flywheel right now and with all of ur mods u should be more like 340 flywheel..... i cant think of what could take away that much power but still have good driveability

wow if you figure anything out let me know! I just finished my install and it feels like i have less power than before! I am gona try to get it on the dyno today, but teh shop wont answer the phone.

Goosepoop302

off topic but did you know that the term Bug was first used when Grace Murray Hopper found a moth in the Harvard Mark 2 computer, and thats where computer BUG comes from...ok and thats the history lesson for today
