I'm glad you all had a great day, was a pity about the printer, but that's Murphy's law stepping in !!
I was more prepared to dyno cars yesterday, than to play with the printer , so I apologise if I was not that concerned that you didn't walk away with your printout !! Don't worry you will get it though. Also thanks to Motomk for chasing up stuff for us, was greatly appreciated, even if I didn't show it. sorry I was a bit concerned when about midday my voice started going !! a bit of coke fixed that !! As far as i saw most people were very well behaved and I was proud to say this is an event I organised and went very smoothly. Thank you to all ford forum.au members who assisted and participated and made the day the success it was. The E Series v8 clash was worth it !! just goes to show the power of the series 2 !! If you have any suggestions or critisisms, ( be polite !!) you are more than welcome to pm me with them. At the end of the day I run these for the members so it has to be what the members want.

Not bad at all mate. For an auto thats a good result. I think it's time for the hurricane exhaust and a CAI. That should bump those figures up. Btw...the CAI setup is in the technical section if you want to have a look. ![]() Cheers

The dyno day hooning issue is unrelated and was directed at a totally different person. If you re read the post on it there is no mention of FPVGT at all.

I rely on those figures only because I don't run my car ¼ mile but I'll have to run it ¼ mile to see how good she really is. I guess then if I'm pulling good times or close to it, I too might not care much about dyno figures. Do I hear the Heathcote entry list calling my name? :Up_to_som

And as an example, look at Cobras v's Davocols cars. Davocols has far more power on the dyno but Cobra's has a good .4 seconds lead on the 1/4 mile. Dyno numbers dont always tell the real world performance story.

ah ah the old dyno figures versus the 1/4 mile times !!
what the dyno will tell you is how much power the engine is making 'at the tyres' ( through various drivetrain losses) what the 1/4 mile time usually tells you is how much power it is transferring to the ground and how good your car is setup. Take LTDHO's car for example 341 rw kw. Huge figure but on the 1/4 mile it will end in wheel spin. unless he goes brass clutch,slicks etc. he would prob only cut a low 12 or high 11. which doesn't show the true potential of the car. if he went slicks etc it may run mid 11's. what the dyno shows is where you make the power and where your weak link is in the engine and tune. it doesn't account for suspension setup or wheel spin. This is why my Group A does not do 1/4 mile but the Capri does.

The dyno has its uses for sure. Most important to me is the A/F ratio and spotting any nasty dips in the curve...always a source of knowledge for finding that nagging issue in a car.
In the end though my opinion is its a road car (mine is anyhow) and although power is needed and wanted, it has to all work together to get it too the road. To do this it needs the whole car to work right. Without a dyno I couldnt do this as it is the tool to get the power right....but it is only one tool for me. I'm actully pretty happy with my dyno results yesterday. I think my car has some work to do and I know what that is now but the A/F was perfect and the curve was straight and strong. Something only a dyno could show me for sure. But for me, the 1/4 is the biggest test.

That's why Motomk's SV8 runs low 13s are cars with much more Rwkw ... don't !
It's all good fun and entertainment this dyno stuff .. unless it's for tuning. |

It was a good day. I was quite happy with 113 kw, with only cat-back exhaust & minor intake mods. I definately need to get it tuned, which I'll do before Heathcote, along with new plugs and leads & maybe a new diff.
Some seriously nice cars. There was no need for stupid shit, also one slip up, and 4 cars (worth a lot of money) coulda been rootad. Here is a picture of the one, and his red friend, which didn't do any hooning but was with him. http://www.aufalcon.com/forsale/benny1.JPG
