Whelp, she made 349.9 / 348.9 at the wheels

That's what's weird. If you're pinging, that's a lack of fuel. What do you have the plugs gapped at, and what type of plugs are you running?

He thought it also might have been because it was my first tank of 93 octane. When I got gas a couple of days earlier, I still had around 1/4 tank, so the mix might not have been right.

.... A GT putting out 350-360rwhp could beat a stock Cobra. ....

Probably better put ... nitpicky I know


Otherwise, those are very good numbers for the boost level. Well within expectations at 6lbs.

I doubt it. Bone stock the 04 is making more power, and has better gearing.

Very true, but your forgetting one small detail. The 03-04 cobras weight 3660#s + (some weigh well over 3700). His GT will weigh in at about 3450.
Hes got about a 250-300# weight advantage, and most 03-04s seem to make 365ish. About 15-20 more than him. It would be a good race with a stocker..and I would give the GT a slight advantage. But its too close, and really comes down to opinion I guess. AKA drivers race.

That could be part of it. I ran 93 for 2-3 weeks before I put the blower on, but I'm anal like that.

I'd say you're probably pretty close to your peak at 6 lbs. Not knowing all of your mods.

I've got a 3.10 pulley at the house if you want to see what it makes at 12 lbs.

You need more boost

 

[CJMcLean]

You need more boost

Yeah, about 10 # more to keep up with my buddy's cobra.

 

[mac1009]

Power is nothing if you can't put it to the ground.

You've got a nice setup to start catching him w/ too.

 

[DBMSTNG]

what MAF are you using? did the tuner datalog load and actual timing?

the numbers aren't too bad for an otherwise stock car. but you definetly should be able to run more than 12* on 93 octane.

Don't feel that bad man. Terminators are just that, terminators. You still have a great car though that still has potential.

 

[SLY GT]

Through some octane boost in it NOW!!! A quarter tank of reqular will make you detonate.

 

[ADRENLN]

yea those numbers are good for a crappy 6psi. i see cars with 8 psi making your numbers. get yours up to eight psi and you will be cookin.

Lightning MAF.

Yeah, he had a Ford tool he was using to datalog while on the dyno.

I think we started around 9 degrees and tried to work up, but for some reason it kept pinging. This was with a 11:1 A/F too.

 

[imblown-ru]

check the fuel pump duty cycle. Im pegging a Ford GT fuel pump. Its not affecting anything, but up top i am pegging it. Still delivers plenty of fuel though.

 

[AmBo]

CJMcLean, check ur PMs brotha!

 

[BlackenedSVT]

What size injectors? Maybe you're not getting enough fuel? Upgrade the injectors and run more boost

 

[dsg_gt2004]

hopefully you can find the source of the detonation and that will possibly give you your lost boost back...good luck and great numbers for just 6#'s
