Yep. I agree. But with the heat tuning wasn't ideal.

RWT was 550.

But with the Flooredfab lt's, Eurocharged HE, and Jerry Tune, we picked up 60 at the wheels. Cutouts added about 3 hp to the wheels and LOTS of fun. This peak was with the cutouts CLOSED.

Also, it was 96 degrees IN the shop with almost 40% humidity.

I did see a graph of a tuned M5 on the same dyno that put down either 417 or 407...so that made me feel a bit better.



You can also tell from the baseline that it looks like my pump was bad. I'm running that new Bosch now.

Kudos to both BUCKHEAD IMPORTS for doing all the work. Greg & Jason & Tony are great guys that look out for their customers. Jason was kind enough to loan me one of his personal cars while we working on the car just so I wouldn't have to drive my non-a/c GS around in the 100 degree weather.

Kudos to Jerry & Clint and the Eurocharged team for great customer support - even though I wasn't happy at all with the two pulleys we had to work with, they're taking care of things. Solid guys as well. They've promised a refund on the pulleys when they get them back.

I had to pay out of pocket for the labor for the multiple installs of the pulleys (pull on off...put one back on...see it wobble...run...pull one off...put another one...see it wobble...etc...) which kind of sucks...but whatever. Very happy with the car now.
That first dyno run shouldn't even be considered a baseline, it's horrible. You lose 150whp at 5200rpm and then gain 130whp after and then it zig zags a bit...WTF?

Also, you A/F Ratio in the second run is pretty crazy. 11.5, 11.0,11.4, 10.5, 11.0. You should check that out. It's okay for it to move up and down somewhat...but not that much. I think you have more left in her with perhaps a better tune.

Also, you owe us videos!

I am not sure how tuning works in the MB world, but in the mustang world, the lines and curves look totally different. There is not much wave, and the A/F is dead straight, see this curve below of an 04 cobra with a blower port:

The resolution in that A/F ratio is much lower than in Pullejo's so it makes Pullejo's look worse, but that mustang does have a wavy A/F ratio and having a wavy A/F ratio is fine...the problem is when the waving goes from 11.5 to 10.5 and then back up and down. That's a pretty big difference.

Yes, his is set right at 12 to 1, which is leaner compared to Johns, but tapers down nicely into the 11's close to 6300rpms in this graph. It is real flat though, and that is what I am used to seeing.

Got slammed today with work (which was supposed to be a day off actually) and didn't have a chance to film anything. Will get you guys something good.

In the meantime...another angry pull on the dyno (cutouts open).

They don't call the Digital Dyno Dynamics a heartbreaker for nothing.. But it the best dyno for tuning from what I have heard.

Nice setups ... I have never had good luck with the QTP electric cutouts ... the screws they use to keep the assembly together keep backing out ... hopefully they changed the design in recent years. I ended up spot welding mine to stop them from backing out.
