#'s
you can pretty much go by my additions and get a good idea as far as #'s go. i have the upgraded pi heads/intake, comp cams(278's), mac l/t's, accufab 75 mm throttle body, lightning mass air meter along with an sq
vortech with no aftercooler. at the time, money was getting me and the wifey a little worried, so i opted to get the after or inner cooler at a later date from paxton. i had ed clark tune my car, if you don't know him, he is probably 3rd in line with sct-software and that's because chris(or chip
) and jerry wromblewski designed sct. but ed doesn't go for the dyno queens, he like his name and his cars to last and give him a good reputation.
after the first pull, ed was stoked along with the other 15-20 people standing and waiting for a readout. now you have to remember i do have ross 8:5 to 1 compression pistons, bored .30 over, manley rod, beehive valve springs fluidyne rad., and i still have not changed the pulley on it since i bought it 3 years ago, maybe longer, who cares.
one more thing to remember is that the
vortech i have is a stock 3.6 pulley making 9lbs. of boost with the anderson powerpipe. now all this on my sct software put me in the 460+rwhp on a stock vortech. me and my buddy were stoked, ed was so much he called chris steen(part owner of steen racing) and was braggin that my car was the most powerful 2v with my setup he had tuned up until the last two months. just realize, like ed told me, if you don't have an intercooler, you need one bad because the good and the bad points are always going to keep your head spinning like mine. he told me for instance, and assurance on two more cars with snow performance methanol injection and bam, instang 75-80rwhp. another good thing about the sct-software is that it measures the iat(which should be tapped in right before the t/b. the sct takes care of another tune, it tunes it as it needs to be tuned.
like my inlet temps right now going down the road are in the 225-233deg. and that's why my timing is and i mean my entire timing is set at 8 deg., so back to the story, say i make exactly 460rwhp, add the methanol kit and bump it up 80rwhp, and then change the pulley to a 2.8, can't go with the new 2.6 they just released because the s-trim will be maxxed out at 16-17lbs. of boost. so quickly add 460+80+let's see, every lb. of boost is around 11rwhp extra and i'm in the 8.5lbs, well you do the math, it's going to be sick nasty. your talking 460+80+around 88 to 95rwhp.
. that my friend with a stock pulley, but add the two things i just mentioned and ed is expecting me to be in the 640-650ish rwhp on a 2v. all this with stock plastic intake w/ the revised aluminum crossover ford did a recall on.
