Patiently WAITING....

BTW jpsimon, historically such a Procede fanatic, now quite impressed with the GIAC flash...that really means something...this flash MUST be good to impress even him.

Also, please post stock baselines with these dynos as well. Its just numbers without having a stock baseline.

Exactly!

The dynojet runs can be compared to the cars that were recently there for that "fathers day" dyno day. there were a buch of cars with a wide variety of modifications/octane to compare with.

My runs can definitely be compared to that since I used the exact same dyno, at the shop that they did that dyno day. We're getting everything together to post and I'll be starting a new thread with all that too. Everyone should be very pleased.

tim - they logged boost on the mustang dyno and the dynojet, so you'll get that info soon

91 octane

sbdavis1 · 07-24-2009, 11:50 AM

wow. you got me interested. waiting to see the graphs to back it up. what boost levels to produce such high numbers on 91?

i recently had my jb3 1.3 dynoed on 91...made 325whp one day and 315whp the other. granted i'm in AZ where it's a bit hotter, i have dci, britalman catback exhaust, and spearco FMIC, factory oil cooler, forge DV's...

your numbers make my numbers look bad...with less bolt ons

FotiosF90M5 · 07-24-2009, 11:55 AM

Id love to try this out. will dealers know? Ill be hitting 50k soon anyway so it doesnt matter as much. A flash would be cool, no more going into the ecu. Even though I think its fun..lol

If you do talk to GIAC, please ask them if they do engine temperature compensation to boost so that cars sitting in cold weather aren't boosting to full until they are fairly warmed up.

I'm suprised...urs should have been a bit higher than that.

Mustang dyno?

I have to say that I'm already loving GIAC...
The car feels FAST and power was VERY linear. The smoothest I've felt in comparison to stock, vishnu, or jb3...
I don't really know what else to say.. But if you guys have any questions, feel free to ask...

Hey Fuzzy if you were to compare it to jb3 rev1.3 which map would u compare it to? Not in terms of smoothness but power?

Kelvin1000 · 07-25-2009, 06:05 AM

Looking forward to the dynos!!!
