BlackVert Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Well, I finally have some numbers to throw around: 544 hp and 546 tq. Took my 07 Ebony vert with JLT/2.6/SLP loudmouths, loaded with Evo's latest 93 tune to a local dyno- Joey at Excessive Autosports (read about him in the latest 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords): http://www.mustang50magazine.com/featuredv...obra/index.html First 2 baseline runs were 531 and 528 hp, and mixture readings were "off the chart" rich all across the board. No wonder my exhaust tips were always so quickly coated in oily soot. Joey said that often in order to make decent power, safely, these mail-order tunes have the timing jacked way up, but dump in extra fuel to richen things up and keep it relatively safe. This sound about right to you folks? Made sense to me, but what do I know?.... Anyway, car runs great (I was happy with it before, but does seem to perform a lot crisper now, and 2nd gear traction is a joke). I am very pleased with the performance- for now :shades: I would love to take it to the nearest strip and click off an 11-sec pass, but perhaps should get some stickier tires first! Love those new 3.73s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackVert Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Just a couple of pics of the girls sitting in the garage... I was brought home from the hospital in the Charger almost 33 years ago (at birth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackVert Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I smell something fishy. Yes, that has become my patent cryptic reply to my wife, when she asks with concern if I have let go the idea of a whipple upgrade... I'll have to share the comment about the Charger ride inducing labor to my dad; he'll love that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckstang Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 That sounds right, Evo said these cars love fuel and timing I noticed my nice FRPP tips are stained black on the edge, could be permanent as I can keep up with cleaning them, I guess my right foot is a lil heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua484 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 If you get a custom dyno tune you could probably bring the air fuel ratio a little closer to 11.5 : 1 instead of 9.5 : 1 (or less) That would actually help with horsepower and your stained exhaust tips. and you could remove some of that timing and still make more power, as we saw here, in this case.
