I am the commissioner of blowing **** up around here... you don't get to blow an engine. It will cost you at least 3500 bux... which you might as well go turbo with !!!!!

Us here in the cold MW are having our own MM dyno tune day. Should be interesting to see what #'s we get though the main purpose is to get our cars dialed in and some installs by BHR. The dyno used is a Mustang Dynamometer Model MD-AWD-500.

I doubt it will be as archaic as Yoshiya-san's machine.

Well, here is the thing ... There were cars that ran before, and cars that ran after mine. Their numbers all looked consistent, yet somehow the machine managed to throw inconsistent numbers right when the only '08 gets on it? Does that really sound likely to you?

I do think that it was reading very low across the board but it seems a little far fetched to me to think that it only read normal for a single car.

Even Taj's car was performing around the same level as the others on the runs w/o nitro.

It is easy to discount the readings just because you don't understand why, but that does not make them wrong. Proportionately the numbers all looked consistent with the modifications that were done to them except mine. I guess the next dyno day will either confirm or deny.

Don't hate ... Appreciate

Its a gearing thing.
Yoshiya-san didn't change the relative wheel speed to run time setting on the dyno when we put your car up.

by chance, would it have made any difference to say that i noticed a lot of MT's doing their pulls in 4th gear instead of 3rd like the 6speed AT? and i know it's probably already been discussed about the dcs chip not being pulled right?

We did ALL of the pulls in 4th gear.
We tried one M/T car in third.

DCS chip?

That was Jedi's car that was done in 3rd. It got 4 more HP.

I saw Konig get 148. His was the best until they chaged the map 3 times on Jedi's and then put it in 3rd.

so If tat dyno was off and you multiply by 1.5...

Blue Knight has 240 RWP. Don't think so.... But he can dream on.

sorry - as screamn8 said i meant the dcs/abs fuse

i understand we could simply push the button and it would suffice, i just read somewhere on here during my lurking that we are to pull the fuse. i'll see if i can bring it up to confirm.

When you find the "fuse-pulling" threads, you will also find my response.
Its not necessary.
