The new engine has been in my car for a little while now, but I've been a little gun shy about really getting on it until I could find a dyno to check the air/fuel ratios. I finally found one in Dallas at a place called Autoscope and made an appointment for last Saturday at 12:00 noon and made the drive down from Oklahoma.

I wasn't sure what to expect and was very impressed by their shop. It was as nice as any Porsche Store in the county! They have two Mustang all wheel drive dyno's side by side. It even has a christmas tree to run quarter mile runs with your buddies and I was told it is very accurate! Their shop was very impressive and didn't look like they they serviced anything in their garage which is their main business because it was TOO clean! They had a little gift shop and sold wheels as well. The staff was amazing! Ben who ran the dyno is a certified Porsche tech and was very helpful and very careful with my car. I was offered something to drink and even later sipped a fresh espresso while being dyno'ed!

Okay the numbers... 483 hp at the wheels... 529 ft lbs of torque... Factor in the 25% drivetrain loss for the all wheel drive and converter slipage for the tiptronic and I should be putting out a pinch over six hundred hp at the crank... not too shabby! After an easy launch at 2000 rpm's the car ran a 12 flat in the quarter mile.

There's still plenty left. The car was running rich, so there's still horse power left on the table as well as a harder launch in the quarter and I should see low to mid 11's!

I can't say enough about the guys at Autoscope and would recommend them highly to anyone! Adam from Autoscope is also a 6'er Board Sponsor and shot some video of the car on their dyno and will be posting it soon... so watch for it! Thanks again guys - Rick Eager

 

Are the drums linked on his dynos?

 

Glad to hear it Rick. Good to see another TIP back on the road after a heart transplant.

 

I'm not sure what you're asking me but here is their contact info:

Thanks... It's good to be back!!!

 

Welcome back Rick.

Get an AFR gauge installed in your car. Either a analog gauge or one like John D sells. But get one put in. The dyno gauges are nice, but not great, and after what you've been through, safety first.

Happy you are back in the saddle!

 

How did your engine go? Sorry if I'm opening old wounds, but I'm extremely paranoid. (I'm wearing my tinfoil hat so the government can't read my thoughts.)

 

Glad to hear you got her running again and got to enjoy her. You going to bring her down to Houston for TX2K9 ? It's a blast of an event and less than a days drive for you I believe.

 

Rick, if you don't already have it, get Durametrics and log some hard pulls, it will tell you everything you need to know. I can give you the important Data points and you might be able to get an expert to interpret the results.

 

Rick,

Sorry I might have missed this. What turbos and flash do you have ? Also what was the boost pressure when they dyno those #’s?

 

Sorry... I guess I need to post my mods again. I'm running K24/18g's with a 5 bar FPR, factory ported headers, GT2 IC's, Agency Racing silicone boost hoses, Fabspeed exhaust & airbox and it's all supported by a Protomotive tuned ECU. 1.1 bar was the max boost the car made. Here's a couple of pics of my car at AUTOSCOPE on their Mustang Dyno. The first pic she was strapped down and ready to go as they plugged her into their electronics. The second pic she was flying hard. Stay tuned for Adam's video footage from AUTOSCOPE!

 

Thanks Rick. The car looks great. Also is that the factory aero kit spoiler? I want that so bad.

Not to take anything away from the great numbers, I thought a k24/18g car with all those mods typically make 520-530 whp on a mustang dyno. Maybe I am missing something here…

Oh i realized you have a Tip car. Maybe that explains the difference.

Congrats on having the car back and enjoy.

 

Congrats being back in the seat! What wheels do you have? Car looks great!!!

 

Thanks... The wheels are Zone Z1's. They're a 3 piece forged and chromed. They look good and I also have a set of Champion RG5's I'm thinking of doing something with (black centers or something.)

 

Yeah it's a tip and it was running very rich so there's still more power left to go get! This car is faster then I need and will get me in plenty trouble if I'm not careful!
