Team Beefcake Racing Ecoboost Phase 2 - Tuned vs Tuned Downpipe

[beefcake]

First trip out we played with the stock tune vs our lund tune.

The best we were able to new with the stock tune was a 14.77, with our lund tune only, a 14.0.

For our second trip we added the stainless works full system, offroad downpipe and catback exhaust.

We tried to give about 30 minutes between runs this time to help with mct's, but by halfway through 1st gear car was still cranking over 135 and wanting to pull timing.

Again, trying launches a couple ways, with the 3.15 gear, I find the car likes to get to about 15psi and then mash and get a little flash in the boost still for the best 60'

Last time out we hit some high 1.9's, this time we knocked down a 1.76 and a 1.74 60'.

We are still running our race star wheels with mt 17" drag radials.

For shits and giggles I tried full pressure to see what she'd do and she spun, jumped to second when she caught and just fell on here face.

2nd hit, with the flash, knocked down a 13.3@101, with a 1.76 60'.
3rd hit, tried pushing to 20psi, but with virtually no transfer the car spun more and had a 1.81 60' and slowed down to 13.5's.
4th hit, pulled the air filter, launched the same way as hit 2, with a tad more cool down time, and pushed out the 13.1@102.

Very excited to see what happens with our mmr intake and vortech intercooler, once the mct's are more in line, I think she'll really wake up.

We will also be testing out a 5e circle d converter as well. it's already sitting here waiting to go in!

slips from the first time and this time

Heres a little vid from our second trip out.

Damn, over a second and a half off. Not bad for the minimal mods.

Nice gains, but that exhaust sound is no bueno.

 

[beefcake]

exhaust is tough on a 4 cylinder. we like it though

Nice gain, but overall seems slower than times of Livernois and MAP customer cars with similar mods.

I think you will see things improve a little bit after ditching the stock intercooler.

True, was just curious if conditions were bad or ?

The inter cooler will definitely help though

I'm not comparing to an overall et of another car, I am comparing to this car, at this weight at the same track in the overall gains, that is what is important

1.6 et gain, is very good, and on par or better as similar cars. this is a full weight premium car with a 305lb driver.

and yes, an intercooler will improve et a ton, but that doesn't benefit the end user to throw everything on at one time.

lund is at the forefront of the mustang tuning community,

with the stock intercooler, 1/2 way through first gear the car is already pulling timing due to the mct's being so high.

were not icing the car, or letting the car sit for 3 hours, etc... to give an inflated number, trying to give real world results that other will be seeing.

lund has plenty of car, going really fast, including the UPR car, in which they have picked up good et over the livernois tune.

were not worried

+1, I was cringing at the sound of it coming out of a Mustang. There's way better, deeper sounding ecoboost options out there.

Get a skinnier driver would be my next mod on that car.

my crew chiefs old lady will be driving it in the eco shootout in BG

should shave a tenth or 2 lol

 

[ronv95]

haha, right on. Still good gains.

Why are you not braking it up at the tree? I was able to cut a 1.68 doing that. You have several tenths locked up in that 60 foot.

??

I'm not even looking at the tree really, has nothing to do with et

you can sit at a tree for 20 seconds and run an 8, all I'm doing now is testing different launch techniques and finding out what the car likes the best

in addition, that's a pro .400 tree I run on, not a sportsman tree

No, Beef, building boost on the footbrake. I was able to get close to 16 psi that way. I am talking about reaction time, I am not a n00b. LOL.
