The dyno we originally use has some "problems," as I do not know what exactly I will just say my original dyno full bolt on NA put me well above 320whp on a mustang dyno. While a few weeks earlier on another mustang dyno in town I was putting down 290whp, which is where I should be. I am saying it will be more accurate in the sense of giving a real reading for comparison for Sam to use.

On the the point of more flowing exhaust, boost might go down, it all comes down to who much freer it is compared to the Berk. Also, more flow and boost loss does not equate to power loss as we can see with this build already.

290 is more like it. Yeah the Dynojet you should be more comparable to Sam's numbers...also remember that GTM uses STD numbers. I think you're going to be a few short of advertised judging by your mustang number.

How exactly do you know this: "more flow and boost loss does not equate to power loss as we can see with this build already." How do you know that if you didnt have the headers you wouldn't have made more power? After all, Shumby made a lot more power without the headers than with them. For all you know, you are making less power than you could be.

Just saw the video, two thumbs up they sound great and they look great too. When do you get them?

Shumby had a boost leak and was on a time restraint.
Also, from every article I have read on superchargers and long tube headers, better flow will help increase power. Now, we could go back to stock setup and run a full 8PSI and maybe push a few extra HP or TQ, but why when I can run less boost and be more efficient and equal power?

The question is did you get your ride back buddy?!? Houston weather and roads almost forces you to have a diff daily driver. Hope to see the car out and about again! ;)

neveucd 08-03-2010 07:13 PM

Yea I did, this past weekend. And I know I need to get another ride to daily, but I'm not as baller as you guys. Next thing I'll buy is those little socks for the intake filters, that supposedly keep out water.

There have been a good number of American muscle cars who roll up, look for a second but then slow back down...was it something I did? :(

Maybe it's not worth the gas for those 'American Muscle Cars'

Why is that ? Please explain ? Ah yes, I know, there is 6ft of snow for 8 months of the year.

I have a 99 Ford Taurus SE! for sale, $500. Needs a new head gasket. You interested ?

JB-370z 08-04-2010 03:53 PM

Dreamer: I am glad you did not go with this setup, cause it is yucky!!!! ahahahahaha :roflpuke2:
Who would by that :bowrofl:

Hahahah You and your turbo car are yucky!!! Beats paying a 1000 more for an HKS that looks and sounds pretty much the same. I had that on my G35, and the quality just wasn't there. Welds all jacked up, and burned tips are soo lame. Then again I can't talk I got a burned bumper from this thing. Lol

Gawd darn hurricanes and floods every other day. And 100+ degree heat. I'd rather play in the snow anyday....I'll bring my dog, she'll be in heaven. :excited:
