Dyno offer for SZ - CEG Archives

Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

I will ahve my SVT up and running for SZ and thought i'ld offer it up if we wanted to dyno test some of the common mods as well as some that cause confusion as far as gains\losses are concerned.

All it will have is the tried and true K&N with MAF adapter, headers and true duals.

Thought maybe we could try out the 65mm TB vs. stock SVT optimized and perhaps some other items while we're there if time allows.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Friggin optimized y-pipe against any aftermarket y.

I'll bring an optimized if we do it.

And I mean not the one you do. Just grinding down the wall where the fused pipes meet.

we could do that. You might want to dyno first though, so that gives you time to swap over parts.

No lets do the whole shebang!

I'll buy the optimized if it works.

Well what does Josh do? Cut out the crush section? I thought thats what everyone does? If not, why waste your time?

I go beyond the standard section most go to back to where both tubes are whole and re-build the collector section entirely.

I have a SHO shop "offroad" Y, and a Mustang throttle body we could try.

If you wanna try a stock vs a opted...someone could opt mine

i might be able to help out I have my stock y-pipe still and of course an optimized one on the car

I also have a stock se tb that has been optimized but not to well and I also just got a SVT tb that has been optimized which was very well done

might have both a standard and the optimized SE ones free to bring if needed

i've still got my very good optimized 54mm tb if someone wants to try that one?...how about the reverse cone vs the site fav k&n? i know thats always been a "discussed" topic..i have a kkm reverse cone...if i get on the dyno(if a spot opens) i could try the custom cougars cold air vs the short ram intake...

Jim is there anyway to get more time on the dyno!??! Looks like the interest is there...just a thought

8 hours is the maximum that Dynotech will allow. Actually, 7.5 hours after lunch break. We might be able get a couple more spot in there. I think we had about 17 or 18 dyno last year.

Heres what I had in mind if we do open up more spots. I might just list a couple "Buy it Now" auctions on ebay for $50. I would specify what time the auction would be listed a couple days in advance so people have the heads up and everyone has a fair chance. Otherwise, if I post something on CEG at 9 am instead of listing an ebay auction, the people without web access at work are probably screwed because they dont get off work until 5 pm and the spots will be filled by then. The auctions would be listed in the evening, probably 9 pm which hopefully isnt a problem. This is just a thought. People for or against this?

Sounds good to me. Wait, I'm already on the list

Yeah

I'll see how important it means to me when auction time comes. Otherwise, it sounds like a fair way for everyone to have a chance. It might run up the bill for keeping contour.org too

As of now, i'm only bringing the SVT to SZ

....so someone else may ahe to put there car on the chopping block for the sake of CEG.

sorry to bring up an old post but this might be interesting, I don't think that I want to swap parts out at the dyno but at least we can see what SVT parts do for a SE engine

I have installed the following onto my 99 SE

SVT airbox
SVT main cat
SVT exhaust
SVT UIM
SVT LIM
SVT optimized tb
I also have an optimized y-pipe, Ford Racing 9mm plug wires and a DMD

the last dyno I had everything but the plug wires and the SVT UIM, LIM and TB. Might have my lighten and underdriven alternator and powersteering pulleys installed by that time also

otherwise the car is stock and no tuning has been done. I plan to see what I put down at SZ and then plan to get headers

I can do those pulleys in the parking lot at SZ!

maybe that is something worth trying to see if they make a difference or not, I still need to get a new belt for when I put them on

I have a part # back home!

I would like to get one pull with my GTO.

I thought you were asking about a HJ with that title.

I wonder how Zaino would perform with that application...

Z2 is just for show, so I'm thinking Z5 might do the trick.
Definitely not the glass polish though. Too gritty.

Whatever you want to use if fine by me.

I'll gladly pay half of someone's 3/4 pulls to get one pull in.

Pete, wa2tuff is backing out on the dyno so you could probably take his spot. I figured it would be easier to just paypal him directly. PM him if your interested.
