New Engine Install issue

[HorneDogg]

Sorry I have been a little busy with work. but I wanted to let everyone know that the problem was solved. the issue was identified to be a clogged cat on the drivers side. Replaced with a custom offroad x-pipe. everything was checked out. I want to say that the mustang shop did a great job and that I started this forum on my own just so that I could get some insight and possibilities of what it could be. the car dyno'd out at 400rwhp @ 6.5psi of boost. I go and pick it up on Friday this week.

put a smaller pulley on it, turn that boost up. you put forged stuff in that mmr block right? good to hear its fixed.

400 HP at 6.5 PSI??? Umm what else is done sir? 6.5 PSI @ 20 HP per # would be a 130 hp gain... these cars make 305 ish at the crank stock so that would put you at 435 at the crank.... something does not add up sir...

It's a vortech. They make more power than eatons. You can also add a bunch of timing on a dyno to inflate the actual numbers.

makes 400hp at the rear wheels. crank horse would be well over 435hp.

I am for sure going to go up on boost. just gonna give my bank account time to recover from this stint. also gonna break the motor in a little and put some miles on it. next year I am gonna do 60lbs injectors and smaller pulley, probably go up to 15psi of boost.

400 wheel hp is about 460 crank hp.

Engine break-in is a MYTH

Turn it up. Seat the rings. Done

I know you can get more out of them but boost is boost and the gains don't match the numbers in my mind. I'm inclined to agree more with the numbers on the dyno being fudged... I mean we would be saying that centrifugal boost is more potent than roots boost by double...

Ring seating is the only thing that needs to be done, after that... let r eat

Lidio broke mine in on the Dyno......

I mostly what to just give my bank account time to recover, I plan on enjoying the car with the HP that I have at the boost I am running. I am planning on increases the boost in the near future. I am not opposed to increasing boost, I am actually right there with everybody about turning up the boost, but right now I am not financially able to give it more boost. I have to save up some more money. bottom line is money.
