My 5.0 6MT dyno day

[DarkTrak]

So, a little disappointed. 381/366. Mods are or/x and aggressive 93 tune from Lund. Ambient temp is about 75*, about 80% humid. Any thoughts?

 

[DDTCM]

WTF?

 

[DarkTrak]

Care to elaborate?

 

[DDTCM]

Im just as surprized as you after seeing guys with the same mods pulling 400+. But then again,its dyno.

 

[Seer]

that is fairly low for a Lund tune

Probably a Mustang Dyno.

 

[DarkTrak]

Yeah, I'm not too pleased. But everyone is turning low numbers today. My buddy's Mach that normally does 310, put down 275.

Nope. Dynojet.

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

You need to tell Lund you want the new and improved Piston Melting Tune..........aka Super 8 Cylinder killer.....LOL!







j/k, drivability is what counts.

 

[D98GT]

First time on the dyno? Could be the dyno reading low so if the car feels strong then it's not a big deal. Dyno is for tuning as anyone can inflate numbers.

 

[Trbo6gn]

Yeah numbers are a little low. I made 414/400 with a jlt and tune.

If you don't have an intake along with that X-Pipe and tune, there's really not a whole lot to be gained. You can scavenge the exhaust gases a little better, but you still need that after-market intake to make more air go through the engine so that a better exhaust setup is actually worth it.

Doesn't surprised me one bit to see those #'s without an intake as well.

If you DO have an after-market intake, the fact of the matter is that you can go to ten different dyno shops all running the exact same dyno, on the same street in 10 buildings side by side on the same temp day and see figures vary easily by 10%.

 

[DarkTrak]

No intake....

 

[DarkTrak]

I guess it's time to learn more about this motor and how to build it. Are they selling forged shortblock coyotes yet?

eh, i did 386/361 iirc tune and offroad h on a mustang dyno, his numbers are a bit low. but in the end a dyno is just a tuning tool. the track will show his real power

 

[BruceH]

It's just a number. Did you happen to get the af and max timing during the pull?

 

[DarkTrak]

No, just did two quick pulls.


@ darkstar November: unfortunately they close our track here in Hawaii a few years ago so dyno numbers are our only bragging point....

 

[DarkTrak]

I WAS supposed to do the pull in 5th right....?

 

[Trbo6gn]

Correct

Dammit beat me to it. Must learn to type faster.
