mrinaldi- Are you still running the factory exhaust?

 

Yup, stock exhaust....BTW...Did the big brown truck deliver everything safely??

 

How 'cold' was the eng./intake for the first pull?

Dan

 

I live about 10 miles from the shop....I drove it there, left it idling outside, they pulled it in shut it down, and hooked everything up. That took about 20 minutes, so oddly enough, the truck was very close to normal operating temp, and that was the strongest pull. The second pull was done immediately after the first, and you can see the power dropoff, and the last pull was done a 1/2 hour later... Ambient air temp was 28deg f, barometer was 30.06, and humidity was 50%.

 

Didn't they have a large cooling fan blowing on the front to cool it down before they made the first pull?

Also, unless the dyno is outside, the ambient temp inside the shop probably wasn't 28 degf, especially with the truck running...

 

Yes, they had the big a$$ fan blowing on the front of the truck...They also had the overhead door open the whole time, so it was pretty cold in the room...

 

I am just curious to know if Jim dynoed better than what he did on Saturday at the dyno day, did he beat his 480 RWHP? can't remeber the TRQ think it was like 530 or something I'm just curious if he beat those #'s Great numbers your self. Thanks in Advance.

 

FREAK!!!!

Holy crap, Mike. Congrats.

Dan

 

Jim's Cobra did beat the numbers that you have above...I would post them, but that is up to Jim to do that, not me...He may not want other people to know until he is done tuning the car...But like I said, it was IMPRESSIVE...

 

I forgot to ask this earlier. Did you do a 'battery disconnect' before each pull?

Btw, Masterloggie and me are going to South Georgia Monday to dyno both trucks. I'm still trying to get in the 400/500 club.

mrinaldi

was that you backing out the driveway arounf 4/4:15?
That was me blowing the chit out of the horn in the silver L
Was just checking out RJ's

Gona do the dyno thing before and after the LT install friday after next. Got to meet RobG at the shop , great people!!
Hope to catch ya later, maybe at RJ's

 

I figure on a very heavy truck with a huge automatic the loss would be at least 19-20%. 14 is pretty low for even a stick car. Maybe I am wrong.

Chuck

 

Yeah, it was.....I had the music loud, so I didn't hear your horn...Maybe we can hookup another time for some cold ones...

 

You damn Jersey guys get to have all the fun! ...Oh well, at least you come back and tell us about it

 

Stop by the Trembly Point Pub on Trembly Point road. You take Styles to Lower Road back behind the airport. Make a left on Tremble, down about 1 1/2 miles on left.
Nice football crowd on weekends w/food
