Right, it was Dyno day today to see if the winter work has paid off.

We had a few issues to start with, the dyno packs had been switched around so we had to swap them back. AET have 4 hub dynos, 2 are rated at 500lbft and the other 2 at 1000lbft. We had the 500's on by mistake. Then the battery went flat, then a wheel nut issue that was sorted by a quick trip to ford just up the road.

Finally we were able to do some pulls.

On the last dyno run the car pulled 638whp but the belt was slipping and power was dying off at about 6400rpm. A 2.8inch griptec has sorted the slip issue.

Today the car pulled from 688whp, 694 and 698 and managed a best of 704whp. Torque was from 610lbft up to 627lbft at the hubs. So the cheap ebay headers managed a nice gain of 66whp. The tune hasn't changed from the last time so this was a natural increase from having a free flowing exhaust system.

Elvington will be April i think now for a 200mph attempt. March is just looking to be too cold and wet to attempt.

Small update.

When i did the top speed runs last year I noticed from seeing pictures afterwards that the bonnet was being lifted quite a lot on the front corners. Gap looked big enough to slide your hand in. I ordered a pair of Quiklatch QL38 hood pins to keep it down and prevent the lift and prevent the bonnet breaking lose. The QL38's are rated at 500lbs holding force each. These are the smaller version of what is factory fitted tot he new GT500.

Fitted them today. only took about an hour or so to do.

holes drilled, no turning back

I filled down the edges and used a touch up paint to coat the bare metal.

Dropped in place to see how they look

All done

I then decided it was time to fit the second catch can I have had sat on the bench for 6 months.
Nice and easy and also tidied up the engine bay a little bit. Swapped the odd silver bolt for black ones and removed the tabs off of the charge cooler housing.

Drivers side catch can emptied after a dyno session and 260 mile round trip to Telford. Swapped the mount bolt for a tidy allen bolt.

loving it, you've probably mentioned before but where did you get your supercharger from? how did the tuning work did you upload the base tune from edelbrock and then get it professionally tuned or straight pro tune?

I bought it through CJ Pony parts about a year ago when Edelbrock were selling off the 2300 kits.

I installed it then went with Edelbrocks tune but it was really bad. I then tried MAP as others on here said they were good. I wasn't happy, the car drove a bit better but still crap.

Then I got in touch with both Palm Beach Dyno & Lund. Lund would only tune if you bought specific parts that they liked where as PBD were happy to tune with what you had.

The support i had from Rob at PBD was great, each time i added parts he had a new tune ready. The car drives so smooth and power delivery is savage when you want it.

Wish i had just gone with PBD right at the start.

No real update as such for the Mustang. Due to Covid19 all events have been cancelled for the time being so no speed runs yet.
Car is currently sorn.

Decided to tidy up a few bits and paint the calipers and fit the wheels & tyres i will be using for the high speed runs.
I went with Michelin Super sports 305/35/19 for the rears to give the right tyre height of 27.4 inch. This should give a rough top speed in 5th of about 207mph at 8k rpm. Front tyres are 275/40/19 Michelin PS4S. Slightly higher profile than i would have liked but needed for the right speed rating and load.

Did you get a chance to see if the additional hood latches made a noticable difference?

Have you fitted stone guards behind the front wheels?

Right, finally good news for the Mustang.

Straightliners are up and running again and i have the car booked for Sunday 5th July for top speed runs at Elvington.

Fingers crossed.

I taxed the car at the start of the month and was able to get in some final data logging for the water/meth and everything is looking good.

The Michelins feel good and the car hooks very well from 20/30 mph so i feel more confident now with getting the power down in the dry.

During last month i had nothing to do on the Mustang and the sun came out for a while so the Westfield got its neck rung a few times, 8000rpm on carbs.
