Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Dyno Proven BOMBinations

[Hohn]

I would like for us to create a reference thread of BOMBinations that have been dynoed. True, every truck is different, but if all who have dynoed post threir numbers and combos, then others will be able to guess as to what they can expect from different mods on their truck. I can't contribute, as I have never dynoed, and i don't have many mods.



Thanks for all your contributions! Let's make this a good reference thread.

The problem with comparisons like this is that you can't take dyno readings from a particular operator and dyno on one day and location and compare those to a different day, operator, and dyno. I've dyno'd my truck on 3 different Mustang 1000 dynos and had WILDLY different numbers. I dyno'd on Scheids Mustang 1000 with 275 injectors and an original Powermax and dyno'd at 313 hp (was running 17. 3's in the 1/4 mile at that time). I next dyno'd on TST's Mustang 1000 with 275 injectors and a Powermax3 and dyno'd at 309 hp (now running 15. 9's in the 1/4). Then I dyno'd on the Mustang 1000 dyno at Thunder in Muncie and dyno'd at 283 hp (was running 16. 3's that day - the truck was a little sick).



Using my 1/4 mile times and speeds and calculating power from that has been a MUCH more reliable indicator of how much power I am making, JMHO.

Contributors please post dyno used (if available), and 1/4 mile ET/MPH if you have run the quarter...

TTT

no takers? for shame... Let's post the numbers, fellas. Not only can we see the ballpark, but also how much variance between trucks and dynos. .



I'll start, since I dynoed 487hp/1133tq with just my EZ. .

OK, you asked for it



2001 ETH w/ DD3's, Diablo Power Puck, PS Boost Module, and stock turbo.



I have dyno'd at 358, 384, 370, and 345 (all different dyno's)



I now have a PDR40, and I dyno'd at 328 to 378 depending on how we calibrated the dyno.



clear as mud?

All you need is in my sig. Not sure of the brand of dyno. My stock numbers on the same dyno where 217 HP/425 tq.

 

[MikeR]

Not only that, but a truck dynoed at sea level is going to show a big difference at higher altitude, say 3500ft on the same brand dyno... even up to 40-50hp difference depending on the truck.



Hohn,

We're not trying to disprove the combinations. We usually see the parts add the same hp across the board no matter where the truck was dynoed... generally a 40hp box will do the 40hp regardless, same with injectors. What's goofy is the variance in what the stock trucks measured to begin with. I've seen a 5spd/24v dyno 190 stock, and I've seen another similar 5spd/24v do 217 stock on the same dyno.



Steve St. L,

You gotta stop with the Mustangs. Too many variables of operator input (guessing) to screw thing up. Find a Dynojet, no operator guessing, and they are far more consistant as long as you're comparing in the same altitude.



I have tried using the 1/4mi times to calculate hp, but given I'm a 6spd it doesn't work for me because I'm on an off the throttle so much. I can have 100 more hp than an auto guy weighing the same, and he'll still kill me and my hp numbers don't compute to what a dyno says.

DDII's, VA, Blue box, stock turbo w/14cm housing 400Hp even. Dynojet. The comp and DDII's seem to be a popular setup, and their Hp numbers seem to be in the same range. 375-410.



Not to get off topic, but does anybody know off hand The approx drive line loss. I am guessing 10-13%.

266/539 on Dynojet.

I'm guessing that this is close, although I was the first CTD the dyno operator had ever done.

 

[jullrich]

i've got an '01 auto, and i've been on three different dyno-jet's four different times, and here are my results:



Dr. Performance in Kellogg, ID w/ Phase II only=260



Shelley's Automotive in Greenacres, WA w/ Phase II, Edge Comp Box, AFE Mega Cannon, Quantum 9 4" Straight pipe=378. 1 &777. 5



Dyno-Mite Diesel Performance in Monroe, WA w/ (no more Dr. P) Edge Comp Box, DD3's, DTT auto transmission, AFE Mega Cannon, Quantum 9 4" Straight pipe=392. 8 & 785. 0



Shelley's Automotive w/ same as above w/ modified HX35=415. 6 & 836. 8



I just got a PDR HX40 w/ 16, so i hope to get some good gain out of that, as well

That is only partly correct.

The double roller Mustangs are not designed to handle our tq.



The single rollers, and especialy the 1750, are setting industry standards, for accuracy, loading, and power holding ability.



The more I dyno on the Dyno Jet, the more I realize they are fun to play with, but accuracy and traction are out the window in a large chargered Diesel.

Giving a 5 second shot of power is no way to measure hp, load that sucker down for a bit, make it work.

You can jump a Jet almost 50- 75 hp, by doing different things.



I'm compiling a list of dyno runs and mods, I'll post them on here, for what they are worth.
