Project 331 is now complete!!! Dyno numbers are as follows.

[90redgt]

Project 331 is now finished being tuned. Most of the engine mods are based in my signature. Naturally aspirated, 5.4l v8---351HP@6000rpm at the wheels! Carnut, lets get together get some pics of the motor n' stuff. Also just to let everyone know this is WAY higher than i expected. I was only shooting for around 330HP at the wheels but the guy that ran the dyno was a genius and managed 21 more HP out of it. I was like

wow great numbers man. that should put you well in the 12's.

[RACER D12]

Damn you 5.0 people make power easier then the turbo people.

[TatII]

not necessarily. he did alot of work to that engine. he even upped his displacement since a 5.0 is technically a 4.9 so he upped it by another .5 liter. also all use turbo guys have to do to hit that power is by upgrading the turbo with accompanying fuel mods. hell a stock evo can make that power on a stock turbo. or a supra can make 450whp from bolt ons.

[90redgt]

Yes well, Redneck is gonna have his hands full when he comes down. I dont' fear his car as much anymore j/k he's got a good car but i love mine

[-The Stig-]

Damn nice numbers man.


I'm all for a challenge. Although, my clutch is starting to slip in 4th-5th gear.

I can't really afford to replace it currently, I could but it'd put me in the red for a while and I'm trying not to do that. So, hopefully soon I'll get that all redone. But I seriously doubt it'll be taken care of before November.



But I'll still give ya a go. Just hope it holds together long enough for the drive out there, and some 'acceleration tests' and the drive home. A good 800-900 miles. Eepp.

[10sec-Hopeful]

Wow, that thing is going to be pretty damn fast. You guys should get some videos of you two racing, that would be awesome.

[Igovert500]

Very nice numbers...got any future plans?

Hehe, excellent numbers.

I got your message regarding this, last night. I worked OT, so I didn't get a chance to call you back.

Well, a 'race' between us will be VERY different now, you think?

So, what was changed, from when you text'd me with the 260WHP number (pre-tune), and when you left me the message?

Shows you what tuning can do to imporove a motor's output.

[ac427cpe]

wow, that's impressive!


/crys

i need a boost controller :'(


will you be at the pavillions on sat?

[90redgt]

naw i wont' be at the pavs. that's a hella long drive for me. on a new motor i'm still going somewhat easy on it until about 500-600 miles to get it broken in fully. Even though it might already be broken in. We ran 24 times on the dyno 2000 to 6000 all within 1 hour time period. pretty crazy.

Carnut: Yeah basicly the only thing that Keith (dyno tuner) changed was the air/fuel across the entire rpm power band. Then after he did that, started messing with the timing, 4 degrees advance and we were at 352rwhp. 8 degrees and we went back down to 344 (on a previous run we made 345) so he set the timing back to 4 degrees advance and that was pretty much it. most of our time was spent tweaking the air/fuel mixture. He was very surprised at my power numbers. He said usually N/A 331's dont' put much more than 340 at the wheels. But i did my homework selected some specific parts and BAM set a new standard at least on HIS dyno that is.

[90redgt]

4 years of saving up my money, 4 years of research. Cost me between 11k and 12k dollars. But now it's allll done and ready to kick ass and take names hehehee.
