98 Ford Csvt Dyno Numbers From Yesterday

[allstyle12]

Yesterday I made 2 runs on a Dyno Dynamics Dynamometer and have to say I am dissapointed. The shop I went to specializes in Mustangs.

First run I put down 167.3 HP and 142 FTLBTQ at 6200 rpm without the spray. Second run with my 75 shot I put down 229.0 HP and 192 FTLBTQ at 6200 rpm. I thought I would be putting around 180 to the wheels without spray and 240-250 with it. My mods consist of:

-Throttle body (Butterfly mod)
-No resonator
-Modified stock intake (K&N drop in) with no snorkel
-TR6 NGK spark plugs
-Stock Clutch
-Dry Nitrous kit 75 shot

Am I ok with these mods? Are there other dynos that produce different values?

I will post a pic of the dyno sheet(s) tomorrow sometime for your viewing.

Thanks,

Allstyle

with out the spray those seem like pretty typical stock SVT numbers ... torque seems alittle low but not bad, also those mods are not going to give you much of any power if at all ... definately not going to give you 180 at the wheel off the spray ...

seems like a good starting point

First run I put down 167.3 HP and 142 FTLBTQ at 6200 rpm .

-Throttle body (Butterfly mod)
-No resonator
-Modified stock intake (K&N drop in) with no snorkel
-Dry Nitrous kit 75 shot

The above is your list, including only things that will improve performance.

The TB mod will net you maybe, MAYBE 1.5 hp. Your throttle response will improve, but power is not something to expect from this.
The drop in might gain you 1-3, IF you don't have a restrictive exhaust, or failing cats, etc

Take a 17% loss from the 195 at the crank you should have, and you get:
161hp expected at the wheels, and ~140 ft/lbs of torque.
Add in the 1.5, and the 3 (to be nice) and you have SURPASSED what I would have expected you to pull on your VERY VERY VERY VERY mildly modified (read: bone stock with a drop in) 98.

Be pleased.

Considering the only true mods that will net you hp are your throttle body (which will probably gain you less than 1 hp), K&N drop in, and removed resonator (again not much hp gain with this), id say your probably right on par. Torque does seem a bit low though. Probably need to open up the exhaust. Put on some headers and a catback and youll be close to 180 whp.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I will be going to the track soon to get a few 1/4 mile runs under my belt. I am hoping I will be in the low 15's without the spray and mid 14's with. I will be trying very hard to get low 60ft times. Lowest time I got on my Gtech was 2.4, but who knows how accurate those things are.

What is the difference between a DynoJet dyno and a Dyno Dynamics dyno? Do they display different values? Are they designed differently?

Thanks again

Watch out for wheel hop with that stock diff at the drags.

Dyno Dynamics dynos are among the lowest reading dynos out there. Almost everyone is disappointed on those. They are great for tuning, however, because of their loading ability. Ive posted my DD dynos on here a few times, and they are low too.

I wouldnt sweat it.

My car was dynoed on the dynapack dynos,the ones that attach to the hub of your wheel, and I got a lot lower than what you came out with and i have a good amount of mods for the exception of headers and a tune I have the other basic bolt ons....so I would be very happy if I were you.....On a side note does anyone know anything about the dynopacks and why the read so low?

all a dry 75 shot is gonna do is make your car run lean. you are not getting 75 HP from the nitrous because your not giving the engine any more fuel to ignite! that's the beauty of nitrous, dry kits are just plain dangerous!

TRicker, please refrain from giving advice, because you flat out suck at it. I've tried being nice..... ok, not really.... but this last post just set me over the edge. Do you honestly think the computer isn't making any adjustments, and adding fuel? Are you seriously THAT ignorant? Dry nitrous kits have been around longer than you've been born, and they haven't pulled them from the shelves? Why do you think that is TRicker? Wait, don't answer that because your posts do nothing but misinform, the already misinformed.
