first off i'd like to thank mike,anita,crystal and dad-for just getting into the building-it is a top notch operation-mike is truly a consimate profeesional in his trade and the passion and analism? he has in his field is second to none.
first off ,after some pulls ,some things are obvious in my application,possibly a camshaft variation,the intake tract is restrictive as hell[dad is working on that,also the exhaust manifolds aren't meant for breating-one thing is duals = loss of tq-i know first hand they don't as i tow 6000lbs with it-i didn't have ud pullies on-just 93 tune-[no adaptive strategy obviously,true duals and and exit side of air cleaner opened up-my peak hp was 207.2 @ at a LOW 4200 rpms,tq was 279.68 @ 2500 rpms-ashame dyno doesn't show lower-most likely around 300 at that rpms.i've already preached about mikes part throttle tq results-i made 279 @2500 and it stayed high up till 4200 where it was 252-this just reinforces why it tows so well-i'll post forms when my scanner is working- here are some numbers of sweet spots-remember with it onl being a 2 valve and the bad things i mentioned -hopefully once pullies are on and air intake addresed-i feel 10-15rwhp and 15-25 ftlbs of tq are available
4000-201.51
4100-205.46

on aclosing note- i can't emphasize the importance of data logging- if the air fuel#'s are off it could be not only detrimental to the engine but also could be more power there-mikes tune of tims was dead nuts on- no adjustments needed- 2wd 5.4 -air force 1,excalibur,sido magnaflow-2wd-263hp-326 tq-i beklieve rockpicks was 252 and 325-phil

 

Now that is pretty good #'s on that 2valve beast.Good luck with the improvements.My procrastination and Uncle Sammies deadlines locked me into my office chair this weekend, so I hope everyone pops a top for me and enjoys themselves."WIWT"

 

It was a blast to watch it on the dyno... even with the heart attack moments... LOL (inside joke there folks)... Good to meet you openclass!

 

i can't believe it but i found air inatke for my van by afe -on v-10-claims 20hp @4300 rpms-where mine is week and 25 ftlbs of tq-just what the vangina needed!

 

Looks like someone is going to be making another trip to Covington....

Looking at that stock intake... it's not a wonder that she can't breathe! I really look forward to seeing what you can do with it OCP!

what do you think rockpick, intake ud pullies-fans-i think shed be the fastest 3/4 van around-lol

 

I like it! And, when you put it back on the dyno, it better have ladders on it next time! LOL LOL!

 

Covington P.A. is 15mins from me, I dont know much about that area but is there a dyno place down there?

 

Not sure about Covington PA... I was referring to Covington, VA -- Home of Troyer Performance.

 

Thanks for your posts, Phil & Brad.

It was a blast having Phil around, he was non-stop trying to figure out what would make that van produce more power - it did very well, but the mostly stock intake & factory pancake exhaust manifolds just cannot breathe worth squat in those vans. So it made excellent power numbers up until it just couldn't breathe any more, and was fun to have something WAY different on the dyno.

And yes, we gave Phil all of the first-vehicle-on-the-dyno "heart attacks" - such as when I pulled a bone-headed stunt and loaded up a set of files I had last been looking at (instead of his actual tunes) and promptly got an initial no-start - which of course, we quickly remedied and had a good laugh about. The first vehicle on these dyno events usually gives us some surprises of some kind, no matter what they may be, & I think we gave Phil a couple of extras before we were thru with it.

All in all, it was a lot of fun - though when it turns into a 3-day event it is always grueling on us here at Troyer Performance, and to a certain extent, those who hang around for more than a day as well. But thanks to everyone, great results and a good time were had, and we thank you all for coming!
