I just had the pleasure today to visit Mid Coast Performance, St. Charles, MO. it was like walking into Kevin Harvick,Inc. unbeleivable!

These guys build real race cars from the ground up. They had 5 cars all in different stages of construction and all Mustangs, well the body's were, everything else was built like a Nascar car. These cars were being built for road racing.

The reason for my visit was to put the GT Automatic on their Eddy Current Mustang Dyno. Man this thing is cool, it simulates real life driving, oh ya, did I forget to mention the Drag Races feature....awesome..... accurate to 1/10 of a second as compaired to the real deal.

I wanted to test my SCT 93 Xtrem Tune that I got from Fred at Evolution Performance. I am impressed to say the least.

Using the Drag Race feature of the MD1100SE my times were as follows:

Reaction Time: 0.313
60' Time: 1.901919................................speed 34.55417
660' -1/8th mile time: 8.267783..............speed 84.76154
1/4 mile time: 13.00293 speed 104.2007

Because I didnt have the 93 Xtreme Tune file from Evo Perf. we couldnt lock in fourth gear and it was difficult to get a good dyno run showing rwhp and torque. The car kept wanting to down shift when we floored it.

For the "whats it worth" department the GT dyno'd at 285rwhp and 295 torque. The owner, running the dyno said that because we couldnt lock the transmission into 4th that these nubers are low. In fact, he didnt charge a dime for his services. He also says that his numbers will always be about 7% lower in readings than a Dyno-Jet.

When I questioned him about the difference between a Dyno-Jet and the MD1100SE he said if your looking for numbers use a Dyno-Jet. If you want to know exactly what your car is doing in real life and on the track use the Mustang Dyno MD1100SE.

Has anyone else used one of these dyno's?

What an afternoon!

mine was also tuned on a mustang dyno. my hp only came up at 281 and torque was 322. mine was even lower due to the stall converter slipping during pulls. my tuner figures my real #'s are about 20% higher taking the dyno and auto trans with high stall converter into account. he did some pretty amazing stuff with that dyno and spent about 6 hours on there playing with lockup schedules and timing etc. he lowered my peak torque to 3300rpm(from 4400 baseline) which compared to the baseline at 3300rpm is 73 ft. lbs higher. cool machine to say the least.

I had my A/F checked on a mustang dyno. My dyno run number on that machine came out to 359.5rwhp. The guy did a conversion for me and quoted a dynojet reading of 420rwhp. That seemed high, so I did some research for dynojet numbers on the new mustangs and recalculated my rating at 408rwhp. My car is a standard btw.

you should ask fred to give you a tune which locks the tranny in 4th, thats what doug did for me.

Man, we have almost the same setup. Good numbers.

Yeah, I need to get a tune from Fred at Evo Perf. as you suggested. Freds will not email his tunes out at all........bottom line.

I'll send him an email tohight. I'll probably have to mail my SCT back to him so that he can put in a tune just for the Dyno.
