| Dyno page; Third trip to dyno, 12 PSI boost and a clutch that holds ! This is horse power to the wheels, engine hp is approximatly 20% higher, ~ 240 at the flywheel! 245/40 x 17" tires on 8" rims get the power to the road The large front mount intercooler allows higher boost levels to be used without the death rattles of detonation The lice. plate is mounted to an air cylinder and folds back under hi boost, for full air to the intercooler. |

| It is great to have my monster back! I've been stuck at 8 psi boost, for five weeks or so because of clutch problems. I would have pulled at 14 psi, but I am going to wait for the clutch to seat in. I also don't want to "push" the stock engine too far and end up with a basket of "PTces", all over the road ! You MUST be careful not to let this engine "PING" !! Those "shock waves", will cause the rods in this engine to fail, catastrophically! I would never try to overide the rev limiter either. I am telling you, ... the rods in this engine do not look up to the task, over 200 hp or so. I will be upgrading my engine very soon. |
| Here is the 2001 Mustang GT, overlaid with the PT. The PT is the base line data. They pulled the Stang from 3800 rpm to 6800, my test was from 2500 to 6000. The PT is (light blue hp) and (red for torque) The rpm range is selected by the driver. You tell Todd what you want to do and he sets up the dyno. |

| This graph shows the second dyno trip at 9 psi, falling off to 7 psi, because of the springs I hung on the waste gate. Not reconended! (base hp, light blue), (base tq, red) 12 PSI boost is (Green,TQ) and (dark blue, hp), ... What a difference a proper boost controller made. $400.00 for 20 hp and 26 ft lbs torque! There is more there too, I am being cautious now, because I am getting into the "over load zone", I think on the stock engine. It will take more, but there is not much safty room for (bad gas or some other problem that might crop up) |
