my simple bolt on, dyno progress (2011 5.0)

thats awesome dude, can't wait to start modding mine.

1288 bucks

+ the price of the car. Did you have a mustang before that one, ie trade in or something? I was on the fence about getting a new 5.0. I talked myself out of it though. I paid off my 2007 in 2 years and eleven months. I HATE paying banks interest. My car has been paid off for 11 months now so I've been buying parts for it. I think in the end if you plan on FI then I don't think it matters if you have a 4.6 or the 5.0. I think boost kinda levels the playing field so to speak. What we have yet to see is the limit of the shortblock for the new motor. I know there are some guys running big numbers but I think it's too early to tell. Now for the hardcore N/A guys though I do see the 5.0 being VERY appealing. Great runs none the less, congrats!!

One last question. Are the number printed in STD or SAE? Thanks.

standard, it says cf std
uncorrected they were higher.

I see. STD will generally read higher vs. SAE numbers.

The most "acurate" dyno graphs come from SAE with Smooting of 5.

Either way the great thing about what you did was doing back to back dyno pulls after each mod on the same dyno and day. That really provides an accurate reflection of the gains for each part. Much appreciated.

Awesome Mike! Get used to the ETC and Load With Failed MAF tables yet? Greg would be proud...

SAE is more accurate and is generally regarded as the 'correct' CF. However, a smoothing factor does NOTHING for numbers. Where did you get this? A smoothing factor just makes the line SMOOTHER so it looks pretty. The proper way is SAE with a smoothing factor of 0.

dang that makes an 03/04 cobra look like a joke damn.

Careful. Don't add words in my mouth. I never said smoothing has anything to do with numbers. Smoothing helps "pretty" up the graph as you have already stated. I have seen graphs where smoothing is not applied and it looks like a cardiogram.

peak numbers maybe, for same mods. but the torqe curve of a terminator is wicked

Well, I would say he is assuming you meant by this statement that the smoothing has something to do with the numbers. That's what it looked like to me also. What else would accuracy have to do with?

No doubt. I apologize for the confusion.

 

[cobra mike]

im still happy no matter what the correction factor is, car hauls for whats done to it

Wow, simple bolt ons and you up to par with a s/c s197. Impressive.

i think the most power actually came from the tune when the parts were installed. since im getting like 20 more hp that the parts should give.
mike@midatlantic performance is on top of things with the tune, and im shure when we get the time he will play with it some more, and see how much this engine really has in it.
