ST24 goes 3.0L

Yeah, untuned ranges are from:

190 wheel hp-210hp

185 wheel tq-210tq


My untuned ported 3L is 190hp 193tq at the wheels, not off the crank.
 
Your power is pretty good - not sure what is going on with the TQ. It might be the intake manifold, but that should be the best one around.

Wheel specs:
190
192

+15% for crank specs:
219
221
 
Your numbers aren't bad. You have to remember that dyno's are just a tool to help tune a vehicle...they create a baseline and shouldn't be used as the end all to determine how much power you are making. I know TRicker on his car went to a dyno that read VERY VERY low and he made 219 hp to the wheels. From what I have read the one he went on read 15% lower than a dynojet. So one could argue that he is actually making 250 to the wheels if he went to a dynojet. He mentioned even the tuner said if you want to hit over 230 just drive down the street and get it done there....but in the end it is the same power. So, just take it with a grain of salt.
 
i put down 219 whp and 211 trq with about four hours dyno time.

that's on a dyno dynamics i might add. they read about 15% lower than a dynojet or mustang dyno.
 
I've got the MSDS Headers and y-pipe, but still the factory fitted CAT. I've hopefully got a decat pipe and underdrive pulleys lined up in the next month so hopefully once there fitted, I'll get a new chip and run the results again.
 
I don't even understand why they give you brake horsepower numbers on a rolling road. They are measuring at the wheels! Why not give you the raw wheel horsepower rather than a calculated figure?
 
The basic answer is no. Those are from Morette, they were going to make some for the contour, and there is one pair I believe floating around, not sure who has them now. There was also someone who bought a set of the Mondeo versions and then had all the custom work done to get them to fit. I don't recall what all is required, but I believe some reworking of the fender at the minimum. Do a search for morette and I suspect you'll find the info.
