This is on my daily (1989 mirage turbo) I put the engine code I didn't specify the 1989 mirage turbo, sorry.
I own a mirage turbo a 1g and 3 2g's.
No 1g love??

My air-fuel ratios were at 12.0to1 across the whole rev range. and I was at 80% duty cycle on 1000cc injectors at 7000. I was reving to 8800.
I have a big intake and exhaust that helped a ton. I made my own intake pipe and new big k&n filter and went from 31psi to 36psi. I also have a internal gate that is shimmed. the turbo is very ported and the internal gate is dumped to the atmosphere.
this is on a jdm 1.6liter (1g size intake ports but the smaller combustion chamber) with fp2 cams. the car ran great
Yeah, I said it must be a 1.6. You must be running pretty low fuel pressure to use 80% of 1000's on E85. Even 750's are good for well over 400+WHP on E85 at a richer AFR than that. 12:1 is actually 8:1 on E85, it's confusing to people that don't know about E85 to say 12:1 when it's not.

My situation is a little different from most, but in my Evo 1 with a small 16G I was making about 350-360hp. That's only measured by an Apexi Rev/Speed meter so may be off by a little, but it's still way over 300hp. Was running it with 264 Comp Cams, meth injection and a few other tricks up my sleeve.
).
. It's gone 118.5mph in the quarter on stock cams.DSM shootout, low boost (21psi spike, dropping to 18psi), weak timing, fat AFR's (high 10s), my car layed down 307whp on Buschur's Mustang dyno. I was expecting more, but I didn't realize how conservative the car was ( took a long drive down, wasn't paying attention to the car's state of tune until being pressured into putting it on the dyno, oh well).
The next day, I put in some CAM2 110 octane gas, turned up the boost and added some timing , and trapped 120.6mph.
Best trap speed on pumpgas , is in my profile, 119.xx. That was on straight 93 octane.... and I'd hope that'd be in the 350+ whp ballpark. It's gone 118.5mph in the quarter on stock cams.
Car's setup is in my profile, it's just a non-evo big16g , stock motor with cams and well chosen mods.
But remember your old 300awhp dyno on your precam setup was on a dyno jet which does read higher than a mustang dyno.
If you recall, late last year on a mustang dyno, mines did 276awhp & 305 peak torque pre cams, pre external gate, pre gm maft and pre Fp mani on 20psi falling to 17psi. Id think on a dyno jet these numbers wouldve been closer to 300awhp like yours.... Once I get a stronger clutch setup, on this 25psi tune Im aiming for your traps Ryan, I know your cars a little bit lighter but, Id like to see at least 117mph on pump.
Anyways dont take the dynos too seriously, especially when seeing the car actually running at the track and doing 119 pump gas trap speeds on a big16g for example
I'll tell everyone on the street it only puts down 300 to the wheels
I think my car just hates dynos.Yep, Mustang dynos do read lower... I was expecting atleast ~320whp at Buschurs, but I had no time to tune the thing, it was on, 2 pulls, and off. No logged AFR, or Boost, but on the DSMlink log, it was weak boost, fat AFR's and a lot of knock. 6000RPM's had 12* of timing. Oh well.
The dynojet I dynoed last year, I was just at a week after the shootout. Once again, shame, I put down ~309awhp, but the car was picking up 7*++ of knock. Apparently my driveshaft was rubbing on the exhaust... The car couldn't put down decent numbers, whatever. Buschur's numbers were better, but I'd think in my car's prime, on a dynojet, it would be 350+.
But like you said, trap and e/t is MUCH more important to meI'll tell everyone on the street it only puts down 300 to the wheels
