Default Not tooo bad..

Well I've been waiting on locals to go to the strip, but I couldn't wait to get an idea of what the car can pull on high boost. There is a local Mustang Dyno that has the 1/4 simulation with the tree and all. I looked into it and it is extremely accurate so I figured why not...

60' 1.93
333 5.29
1/8 7.79
MPH 101.99
1000 9.80
MPH 119.18
1/4 11.42
MPH 126.18

How does it calibrate the 60' time? That would be a nice trap speed. Does it correct times to SAE or use present conditions power to analyze time/speed?

Good deal man!!! How did you like Brandon's dyno??

Those are some killer traps in the 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile for sure and damn good times too!! With the weather and everything like it is I'm not going to the track today sooo probably wait till next week so I'll be in touch with you for sure.

IDK how it's set up. I just know it's a loaded Mustang Powerdyne. For reference I trapped 95mph in the 1/8 on just 22psi and pump gas..29psi now

It was alot better shop than I pictured. I saw some of his custom turbo manifolds/etc and looks like really good work. I'm going to get him to port/polish my IM andd TB/spacer for me and make a side exit exhaust.(I read just a ported/polished IM has the potential for 15-20hp on a big turbo) My numbers on his Mustang dyno was 378whp 398ft-lbs. He said that would be like 410-415whp on a dyno jet and a lot more torque. I had some trouble spinning on the dyno:/ After we pulled the car off you could wipe your finger and see all the tire "dust" in between the rollers. So after those parts and some other little stuff (BS chain removal is claimed for 10whp by its self) it should be doing ok.

Dang, those numbers are really impressive. That's crazy they can get those numbers that close. I'm wondering how they go about calibrating wind resistance and curb weight.

IDK how it all works but there was an input for weight to set the load. Three runs, first was a 12.1 @ 125 being easy on the launch and shifts. I have no idea how accurate they are but it at least made a cool vid running through the gears. He has a 711rwhp(his Mustang dyno) Skyline and said it pulled a 9.30 on it.
