New engine!

[Storm Trooper]

Finally it runs! (Storm Trooper 5.3)

[michaelmosty]

Very nice, Storm Trooper with full power!!!!

[BryanL]

Sweet-watch out for the white LS Camaro's at TWS up on the podium. You get those restrictors I sent so you have legal power and not full power!

[Fbody383]

Very nice, Storm Trooper with full power!!!!It will be the most 'street car' sounding ride out there.

Install looks great in person and if the T5 lives, maybe that entices that long, lost JW dude back out.

It's the new #1 car of the Orange Is Fast syndicate.

[Supercharged111]

I thought you were in love with the TPI. That car's too nice for CMC.

[AllZWay]

That looks really good in that car.

[Storm Trooper]

Superior platform inferior driving!

[Storm Trooper]

I thought you were in love with the TPI. That car's too nice for CMC.
TPI is an awesome engine but runs out of power @4700 RPM
As for "to nice for CMC" that's funny LOL

[Fbody383]

That car's too nice for CMC.I just need to drive it for a couple more hours...

[Storm Trooper]

I dynoed today...... 261HP 302QT no intake restrictor :cool:

[Supercharged111]

I dynoed today...... 261HP 309QT no intake restrictor :cool:

Lies, that's a cheater motor.

[mach1]

Can I put one in my mustang?

[RichardP]

Can I put one in my mustang?

Yes, you can. You can also run CMC (or AI) in your Mustang. You can't do both at the same time...

Hmmmmmm

I would love to build you a motor :-)

[Supercharged111]

Fixed. :D

;)

[MikeP99Z]

Nice job!

No LS motors in Mustangs, not even for AI.

[BryanL]

Sean the graph you sent me shows 302 tq. Great numbers-my tq is 292 so either way I'm jealous. Nice Work!

[RichardP]

Which is really bumming me still. I don't know what to do with my car. If that was legal, that is what I would be doing...

3V mod motor with cams and wiring harness. Build with some compression for torque and voila....

Yes I was confused 309tq befor i added the exaust restricter!

Lets see the graph for this bad boy!

Wow, look at that torque, flat from 2k and dropping right where it needs to

Your the man!!!!

[Supercharged111]

Why's the dyno stop so early? I run my LT1 to 5500 and it's got shorter legs than an LS.

[Storm Trooper]

If you not making power why stress the motor!

[marshall_mosty]

I'll let Glenn chime in, but there should be a clear downturn on both HP and TQ curves. It appears that your HP curve was still going up.

I stood back and watched and let the Dino guy do his work he told me that he's looking for Peak horse power and peak torque and that is what he told me he did so if you cut it off early I really wasn't paying attention. He told me what the numbers were, I added the exhaust restrictor to pull the horsepower and torque down to legal limits. If it's a problem I will be glad to go back down and do another Dyno I just don't have time before this race. This is a 2005 5.3 L truck motor to the best of my ability it's completely stock I did not change the cam out. So just let me know what you all want me to do.

[Supercharged111]

I know in the Corvettes, when the LS1 received the LS6 intake in 2001 it also changed over to the truck cam. If the F body followed suit, and I imagine it did, then the truck cam should be OK.

[BryanL]

Sean-no need for you go back to the dyno. Your car isn't going to make anymore hp than what it did. It isn't a 4.6 that wraps to 6k or the 5.0 that I see people shifting and pulling to 6k. The LS1 hits it's max hp at 5,200 on a dyno but I bet you find yourself shifting at 5,000 since it isn't pulling anymore. Your curve looks identical to several different LS dyno's I have and the LT1 dyno that I also have. I have never understood why so many think the LS just kills the LT1. Both myself and Al F. have overlayed the dyno's and there is negligible difference. The torque curve of the LT is better but the LS does edge out the LT by about 5 rwhp if you run them up to 5,700. Now the LS trumps the LT in my book since it doesn't have an opti and rarely has issues running.


Kudos to Sean for performing the swap and getting the legal dyno done in time for the race.

That is so funny Bryan and what a coincidence, my max HP is at 5,200 RPM also. I'll have to get my dyno graph posted and we can compare. ;^)

Thanks Brian I appreciate that :-) I did the best I can to follow the rules and not screw something up but it's nice to have everybody watching to make sure everything is legal. I would much rather be legal and have fun then do something illegal and worry about getting caught.

[Fbody383]

I'll let you know if I think it's legal sometime at the Saturday driver's meeting after Q1.

[Supercharged111]

The LS1 hits it's max hp at 5,200 on a dyno but I bet you find yourself shifting at 5,000 since it isn't pulling anymore.

If you shift right at the hp peak, you're not accelerating as quickly as you could by going past especially when that motor doesn't just fall on its face right after peak. You might lose 15hp by revving past peak, but you'll lose 30 and the torque multiplication of a lower gear by upshifting.

Same here, but my torque down low is no where near the chevy motors

[Suck fumes]

Once you hit 3rd gear the mustangs are faster and have more top end. Assuming your motor isn't a turd.

We barely ever use 2nd gear at any track to make the low end torque an adv for anyone.

[GlennCMC70]

Yep, gotta pull until the HP and TQ drop off.
Just get it right next time.
