HTP Test and Tune session / Dyno Day

[GraffitiRR]

Had a good time today. good to talk to and meet everyone. Sorry for the loudness of the mustang, i do however enjoy it that loud for some odd reason. Slightly disappointed in my numbers. if i had a pull or 2 more the car would have been over 300/320. glad to see no one broke anything.

BTW it was def a good experience to see the guys at HTP tuning one of their products with very good results. And who'da thunk an AMSOIL stock replacement air filter would gain close to 10whp/wtq on an SVT Contour?

I'll post up the dynograph when I get it from Jason, but in the meantime, here is a video about the Ea Nanofiber technology for you to check out!

just got my #!#!#!#! up...no chart however cause i have to scan it.....happy to say i WASNT the lowest horespower car in ttendance...thank god....walked away with 122whp@about 6000RPM and 120ftlbs@about4800RPM ...much better than i expected out of the #!#!#!#!box

[GraffitiRR]

so mike and i (turbodfoci) were talking about this after the dyno....you should unbolt the roof on the wagon and make it a targa saturn wagon.....sickest thing ever

[PlastikAvenger]

bwahaha....hmmmm

Is your car custom tuned? Or is a can tune for the full exhaust?

I put 287 on that dyno 2 months ago, but have stock exhuast.

[Synical DSM]

Do you people know how a dyno works? Don't be disappointed with your numbers, a dyno is a comparisson tool, not neccessarily a measuring device as accurate as say, a ruler.... So my point... dont be dis-appointed with your base run, be disappointend if after your mods, the numbers dont increase. lol

its a tune from bamachips for the mods i have. i have no cats or mufflers so the lack of back pressure probably doesnt help my numbers at all. car was making more power with each pull but obviously had to stop at 3.

[ill_eagle94]

Well, NA you don't really want any backpressure, you want exhaust velocity. I'm not saying bigger is better either, because it's not. I'm not sure of exactly how the math works, but as your headers heat up, they do aid somewhat in scavenging the exhaust.

[Dagazenterprise]

if you don't have any back pressure, your low end power will suffer, idealy you want an exhaust system to be 180 degrees, the 4 into to into 1 or try Y's are good examples. so that as one exhaust pulse is going out, and the next exhaust valve is just about to close and valve overlap occurs that pulse from the opposing cylinder creates a negitive pressure pulse in the tube drawing the intake charge in and scavaging the exhaust, increasing it's efficiency, the heat in the exhaust helps to increase it's velocity hence why people wrap the exhaust. no back pressure is ideal only in high rpm applications where low end torque isn't as critical. as for turbo, back pressure and heat are ideal since higher heat means higher exhaust speeds spooling the turbo much quicker and zero back pressure past the turbine is ideal so the turbo will spool much faster, that's why changing the down pipe and openning up the exhaust can creat larger power gains.

What were your final numbers?

Mine as well makes slightly more hp each run. I "gained" 4 whp by comparing the first run, to my fifth.

However, I would suggest calling Pete and ask about a custom tune. I am sure he could see 3-7whp gain over your canned tune. Should be much over 125 if you already have the SCT and eveything

[turbodfoci]

targa top saturn

had a great time yesterday guys. very happy with my numbers
nice to put a name and face to the screen name haha

pete has tried tuning my car before with no gain in power over my canned tune. And he also stated yesterday that my mod/number combo seemed right on from the s197s he has tuned

[NHPorsche]

Yeah, that ****ing mustang. You were just trying to give me a heartattack....I jumped about a foot the first time Pete said go and you romped on it. Sounds excellent outdoors though, we heard you driving away even with the door closed

And, Mike, how the hell'd you get that focus to be a torque monster? Everyone always gets hp and no torque...and you managed to get the opposite

What're you running for a turbo?

[GraffitiRR]

mike and i had stopped partway up the hill leaving and it took me a bit of throttle and steering to keep going....then i cleaned the tires off in the street. mikes car amazes me every time he does something new to it. such a reliable and fast car...cant beat 32mpg's either.
