Dyno'd the turd

They were having a dyno day at a local speed shop yesterday. I still haven't thrown any timing at it and I've been having some boost issues lately. But I figured what the hell. My boost issues go back to when I went to the track a few weeks ago. The car's built for 25psi, but when I'd get up in boost it'd just fall on it's face. I thought it was weak ignition and blowing the spark out. So I bumped it back and it seemed ok. What I finally figured out was my boost controller was set wrong. I was actually hitting my boost safety limit I set in crome. It was better when I took it to the dyno but the boost was still surging. It seemed wave between 18-23psi. So basically my setup was crap when I went and I embarrassed to even post this. The good news is I still made decent power all things considered and I'm getting the bugs worked out. But here's why I'm really posting this, it was at a mustang shop. Now I don't know about you guys but most of the mustang owners I know are dildos* who like to talk big but will never go to the track. So of course I got "here comes the rice :rolleyes:" Even the guys hooking it up made the crack "is that exhaust tip off a diesel truck?" I'm sure there were a lot of them I didn't hear. Basically it went like this...
pre-dyno
mustang guys: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
me: :hsugh:
during
mustang guys::eek4: :eek4: :eek4: :eek4: :eek4:
me::noes:
after
mustang guys: :eek3: :eek3: :eek3: :eek3: :eek3:
me: :cool:

So even though I'm a little disappointed with my numbers it was worth every penny to see the looks on their faces. And the car sounded vicious on the dyno.



*not saying all mustang guys are dildos just most of the ones I know. the Brenspeed guys were just having fun and were actually pretty cool.

Mustang drivers are dildos. I'm friends with two of them.

Nice power though! Is that still the SSAC kit?

yeah it's still the SSAC, the power is low compared to what it should get but at least I'm getting the kinks worked out
