Run 3: (removed the air cleaner element) 167.38hp and 162.18fpt. run 4: (mocked up a ram air for the air box and set a small fan in front of it) 171.68hp and 163.97fpt. To recap: Dyno runs HP TQ A/F Comments 1st 140 151 10 Car had 146k, Mods: FR 9mm Wires, K&N drop in filter, Autolite D-Plat spark plugs. 2nd 142 152 10 Cleaned uim/lim, IMRC quit working during this session. 3rd 149 151 11.5 New Bank #1 O2 up stream, New IAC, New Coil pak, changed oil in MTX to Valvoline Synth Power ATF, repaired IMRC 4th 151 152 12.5 Installed 98 SVT ECM and SVT 19lb. Injectors. Not the power gain I expected. I figured the cats were done in and that the ECM needed more Intake and Exhaust flow. 5th 171.68 163.97 13.2 Installed my own designed exhaust 5A. 165.61hp 160.10fpt Mocked up Ram Air/fan 5B. 171.68hp 163.97fpt Also for this run I changed oil to Valvoline 5w20 Synth Power and added a can of Restore, I don't know if it helped with the HP but the car no longer smokes. The cost of Mods to this point: K&N $0 was in the car when I bought it. Ford Racing 9mm wires $52 Used SVT ECM and injectors $100 Custom Exhaust: $200 I'm not listing the cost of the other parts as they are maintance items that normaly would be replaced do to age or failure. Total cost of Mods:$352. To figure the cost of HP/TQ increase per dollar I'm going to use the 149HP/152.07TQ figure as the starting point due to preforming normal maintance got the car to that number. 171.68 - 149.50= a gain of 22.18HP/163.97 - 152.07= a gain of 11.9TQ $15.87 per HP increace/$29.56 per FPT increase As soon as I can I will have the sheet posted on my Blog 98 Tropic Green Contour 2.5 MTX

Yeah the 171 is not a standard make of power. IT was a 1 time on a dyno power gain. You shouldn't use that as a refernce. Do you always use this mack up ram intake kit? Oh was your hood open during this also? I reject your reality and substitute my own.

As I said at the bottom of my post the fith run will be posted as soon as possible. All runs have been done on the same DynoJet.

Oh was your hood open during this also? Answered the first part already, Yes the hood was open it has to be to hook up the sensors for the Dyno. If you discount the 171 it still made 167HP!!! That is with no headers, no fancy air intake system, pre-cats intact, home made single exhaust utilizing an off the shelf Maramont converter and a Vortex V-Baffle muffler, Not a FlowMaster, not a Magniflow, not a Borla or any other high buck cat or muffler. also I will note that contrary to to some peoples opinions I did not need a $500 dollar computer tune to make this stuff work. The car is a daily driver and still gets 30mpg. The ram air and fan showed that it will respond to more air so that will be next. I will do it the cheapest way I can with out using SVT parts so stay tuned. Last edited by MaddMike2; 08/06/06 10:29 PM. 98 Tropic Green Contour 2.5 MTX
