xeongt Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 So I'm very disappointed in the gains from adding a 2.6" pulley + idler + colder plugs + canned tune. On a Mustang dyno went from 500hp / 479lb-ft @ 8.7psi peak, to just 529hp / 519lb-ft @ 13.3psi. The graph didn't pick up the timing values for some reason, but they were laughably low....yeah the canned tune really killed me I think Will have pull the trigger on something else like LTs to force myself to get a real custom tune now.

TrakRat Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I would definitely do a custom tune regardless. My fiance's Terminator picked up 45 ft/lb TQ on a custom tune vs. a canned pulley tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyedea Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 ack, which canned tune? I'm on the fence about getting a pulley and tune, not worth it for that minimal of a gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked_SVT Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Which tune did you go with? I had Justin from VMP send me his 2.59 pulley and idler and a 91 Octane tune and my car picked up 61 rwhp and 60 rwtq. Those gains seem very minimal for a pulley and tune. Maybe the tune is too aggressive and the car is pulling timing? Good luck with getting it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redline58 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I had same results with my 2011 Gt500 with VMP 2.59 and tune.You are correct , car pulled timing due to tune.Dyno graph showed knock sensor kicked timing. Which tune did you go with? I had Justin from VMP send me his 2.59 pulley and idler and a 91 Octane tune and my car picked up 61 rwhp and 60 rwtq. Those gains seem very minimal for a pulley and tune.

xeongt Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I don't want to call out the vendor just yet as I'm going to give them a datalog and see what they come up with. Redline58 - how were you able to tell about pulling timing from the dyno graph? Did yours record it on there so you could just visibly see it drop? If that's the case I should be able to see the same thing with a datalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be me and yes I live in Santee. Do you live in Santee as well? Small world. Funny thing is a rarely see any GT500's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moody03svt Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Would like to see what that looks like when the timing is pulled on a dyno graph. And want to find out why this pulley produced low increase in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xeongt Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 The shop just sent me the datalog from the dyno. However it's from a different run than the previous graph was for, but the numbers are very similar. On this run the timing and such looks good...which makes this even more confusing. There shouldn't be any differences at all from '11, but has anyone else done a pulley swap already on a '12 like me that could chime in with their results?

Eyedea Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Finally got the pulley and tune done on my '12 GT500. Stock she put down 467hp 437tq w/ 9.1lbs boost. Pulley and tune upped the numbers to 517hp 492tq w/ 12.1lbs boost on a mustang dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moody03svt Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Isn't 500hp on a stock GT500 high? Especially on Mustang dyno!I would think starting off with 476 is probably more accurate. For the original poster any chance the initial dyno was off? Looks like getting 520-530HP after a 2.59 / 2.6 with around 12 / 13 PSI is normal.
