Today's dyno results....

Well, given the air station on the dyno was reading 106 F, the engine did pretty well. If the weather ever dips into the 60's.....I am going to have to carry a passenger! :wink:

we also took some time to fix some part throttle issue and data log the fuel pump duty cycle, injector duty cycle, MAF voltage, TPS voltage and actual corrected timing. Considering we had timing set at 28 degrees on the tables, with the heat it was only seeing 21 degrees! Previous fuel pump duty was running in the mid 80% range and I switched to a new pump from a Ford GT and it is now in the 40% range!!! fixed THAT problem with the detonation!

Also drove the car around on the street a bit and with the solid engine mounts and new part throttle settings this thing is a frigging BEAST and will light the tires with quickness!!! Guess I will have to figure out how to stop that?! :wink:

Anyway, Car is good to go with just a few minor things to finish before August! Be afraid!!! :twisted:

Numbers?? New minimum weight?

yeah dude, where are the numbers? You're such a tease.

Yeah, Geeze dude. :roll: How bout some numbers.

Or not...

106 Degrees
315HP/325TQ = 2992.5 minimum weight

"Cooler Weather" Estimate
330HP/340TQ = 3135 minimum weight

Advertised 2885 w/o 225lb driver = 3110

Looks like you need at least 25 lbs of ballast buddy!

I weight 250 with gear on!! ;)

guess on car weight right now is about 50 lbs heavy in 106F....but I will have some ballast to bolt in if need be!

and it looks like someone has been doing some snooping on NASA Forums!! :lol:

Matt,
I have to jump around. With all the drama on this board, I need some balance.

I agree.

I'm suprised more of you haven't used the "Hidden" feature so noone will know you are on-line.

Right now, I know Bell and Varner use it. I also think White uses it.

You could use a few more pounds! I will see if I can sneak a 100lb anchor into your car before the race! :wink:
