Strapping onto the dyno on thursday.

I've always been way rich at WOT and I figured some wide band numbers would help my tuner lean the condition out. It is a mustang dyno, but the wideband will greatly help dial in the car. I've noticed that at 45 psi of fuel (the lowest I can get it) the O2's read 950 and a trail of black smoke follows me down the track. I called fastchip and they suggested wide band before we make any changes, so we'll give it a go. Maybe I'll break 300 rwhp.

Wide band should help with your tuning, good luck :cheers:

With all the work done to your vette, you should breakover the 300 mark...are you going to let us know....or at least keep us updated.....

Is it expensive to get the vette on a dyno?????
Good Luck...

Price isn't too bad.....110 and the owner of the shop said we would probably get an hour and a half since he wasn't that busy.
The shop is located in reeds spring MO....30 minutes south of springfield. I have been using a dynojet at Mc racing in Lenexa KS, but this is right down the road and will serve the same purpose. I'll post the results...keep in mind that I am expecting an A/F of 10.5:1-11:1 so peak power probably won't be achieved :(

Good A/F for nitrous!

With a mustang you should be around 300rwhp I say even with your A/F.

It's been trapping at 112 with 18 psi in the bfgs lately, so maybe I undershot alittle. I would like achieve 12:1 after the tune. My plan is to run a 150 shot until I get my other motor finished. My tuner suggested 13:1 as a target for NA. I would like to keep it a little fat...especially if I carry out my nitrous plans.
