well I am going to be going to Bristol Dyno tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 to get a new baseline on my car ... if anyone wants to stop by or dyno I am sure you could

Tomorrow when? What day is today? 50 bucks for a few pulls right? You think they'll squeeze me in at the same time? I kinda want a baseline...

today as in the 26th ... I think for a first time person its $60 and yes you would get like three pulls.

your best bet is to call Jonathan and talk to him. He works during the day and is at the dyno by appointment at night. If not if you just show up at 4:30 also you should be able to get on the dyno after me I would think.
 
crap I was out of it this morning and didnt realize you originally posted yesterday. according to the calendar, you are the last pull of the day. Also, I ducked out of work early yesterday to to go to mass to pick up my fsvt's (thanks BOS SVT!) so can't leave early today :-(

actually I am the first, since jonathan works another job during the day he doesn't get there until 4:30
 
ok guys, I am going down to bristol dyno again this thursday night. I want to get a run in on the same dyno since the dyno at SZ was a mustang dyno and not a dyno jet. plus I have the new exhaust this time and according to Stazi I should see some gains because the stock resonator is so restrictive.

anyway I'm up at 5 pm and there are some other random people that will be there at 4:30 and 5:30

nooooo! I wanted to go after I got my ypipe! And now I have weird kinks that need to be worked out :cry: (CEL started flashing today)

how old are the plug wires? might be time for new plugs and wires. I would inspect them for carbon tracking. Both my father and I had this problem and it cause hesitation and bucking. I flashing cel is of course a missfire. I think mine started with a loose plug wire, ie it didn't snap onto the plug, and the high heat and humidity the last few weeks hasn't helped out either.


what else is wrong. I'm working on my car tonight if you want to come up here and have me look at it
 
New plugs+wires/uim+lim rebuild with new gaskets/headers with new gaskets/mil eliminators all done recently.

I had that CEL for the Upper O2 sensor a few weeks ago. Didn't replace it yet went away, now this. I'm gonna check it out after work and if I think it requires someone who knows what they are doing, maybe i'll take u up on it :cool:

Car has been running fine though up until this:shrug:
 
well my car I thought was running fine then all of the sudden, that I could tell anyway I started getting hesitation and bucking .... check the cel out and let me know if you want any help
 
So you're going today at 5 right? I'm gonna try and duck out of work at 4:30 and make it up there. Kind of akward though since I just put in my two week notice lol.
 
ok, the numbers are in ... all numbers are SAE corrected

previously: 155 hp/146 ft-lbs

yesterday: 168 hp/146 ft-lbs

now I had 174/169 on the mustang dyno at SZ so once I get the data files I can change the correction and see what the raw numbers would be but I believe they fall right in line.

one thing about my car at this dyno, its consistant. all the pull where very repeatable and just about exactly the same.

so what were the mods for this run as opposed to the other? By other I mean the last time at bristol dyno. Headers and exhaust?

headers
SVT cams
trudendz test pipe with high flow cat
trubendz 2.5" resonated Borla exhaust


i forgot to mention my a/f above 3krpm sat very nicely at 12:1
