very nice!

 

Thanks Wraith!!!

Nice numbers Kevin.

You should be at 340-350 rwhp or so with the cam

I think your right on! Can't wait now....one month and counting....I'll be cruising to BFNY! Fun stuff!


So.....???? What's next????? hmmmm?

 

Nice numbers Kevin.

S/c s/c s/c s/c!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Numbers are looking good. Can't wait to see what it puts out once you get that cam in

 

Stump Puller FTW!!!

Took the Mag in for another run on the dyno today to see how my cam install in September went. Also throughout the month, I've been going back & forth with Johan to sort out the tune. I felt it was time today to take a ride up to ESP again in Sterling Ma. Two Dyno pulls on the Mustang Dyno were run:

Pull 1: 343.5 hp and 356.4 torque

Pull 2: 337.9 hp and 358.4 torque

Again, the car was the AWD 5.7L with full bolt ons and a sidewinder cam. Predator set to Dyno Mode.

Here's the Dyno with Johan's tune

See the vidoes below!

Also, since the first two dyno pulls were pretty similar, Dave at ESP asked if I wanted to do a 1/4 mile plug on my 3rd pull...sure!

I am stoked!

 

that's awesome! great numbers!

 

Damn, looks like I need to step it up a bit haha

Nice numbers.

 

Great numbers Kevin. Your car's gotta feel good on the road.

 

Thanks guys! It feels like a total daily driver, that is until you hit the gas! All the mods I've done over the last year and a half have led up to this and I can honestly say this car has far exceeded my expectations of what it is capable of!

I am quite humbled!

Now it's time to start thinking about what's next!!! (evil snicker)

 

Awesome results. A breath away from cracking the 12.00s. Is the sidewinder cam a mild one? I know almost nothing about them.

 

^^ It's on the upper side of mild to almost medium. A little more than like a Comp 260 or an Inertia Crazy Jay, but not quite like a Comp 268 or Inertia Spartan.

I like it. Sounds pretty close to stock. Stock cam on a 5.7L has valve lifts of like 0.46" or so and cam durations in the 190's. The Sidewinder has lifts in the 0.524" range and durations in the 212's. So she's breathing a little better and taking bigger breaths. I'm pretty happy about it! Crazy to think a 4200lbs station wagon can go 0-105 mph in 13 seconds! LOL.

 

Very impressive numbers! Gotta be a BLAST to drive!

 

Thanks for the kind comments and yes it is more fun to ride now more than ever!

Cheers!

 

Kevin, I see that AFR finally got sorted out and you have a much nicer curve going on than before. Very nice, and the rewards are increased torque/hp and drivability. Glad to see it worked out for you.

 

Enjoy!

 

nice!

 

***UPDATED-SEE POST #7 FOR POST-CAM DYNO RESULTS***

Decided to head out and have some fun today and have a baseline dyno done on my AWD Magnum RT. Dyno was done at ESP performance in Sterling MA on a Mustang Dyno and peak values are corrected.

Mods are: Shorty Headers, High Flow Cats, Catback Exhaust, aFe CAI, 85mm ported throttle body, SLP 25% underdrive pulley, 180* thermostat and Diablosport Predator tuner. All pulls were done in ESP Dyno mod (ABS/BAS/ESP all turned off).

I did two baseline pulls with a Level 1 tune from HHP, best one with AFR's shown below.

Great car, really good numbers lucky you. I just rebuilt my engine changed the thermostat, new 3 core radiator, oil good 10w 40. clutch fan good. I am going to put new water pump tomorrow. after engine in car i checked oil at about 100 miles. the oil was three quarts low! Can anyone tell me what the problem could be? Cheers!

 

you let it run for about 10 secs. after putting about 6 or so litres in so it would fill the oil filter right? If not I'm guessing that's where it went. I've seen oil drop from just above the add line to off the dipstick after running the car to fill the filter.

 

Oh yeah, always fill the new oil filter with oil before installing when doing an oil change. Those things can hold almost a full quart. Not to mention the engine has to work a little harder to build oil pressure to the filter if you put it on dry/empty and that equals engine wear!
