Default Baseline before TRex install is now here

well the car made a few pulls on the car today to get a basline before installing the TRex the results were 334/350 with 12Bolt w/4.10's, thunder race headers through bullets, pulley and carbon fiber lid. with a a/f ratio of 13.8. we think that the true dual may have cost a few ponies but is all i could throw together since my headers were fxxked up. i had to use some new ones. were have the cam in and are trying to make a few pulls on it now with the stock tune. ill have somthing up by tomorrow night after a lil tuning.

All that time and your headers were f#cked up! If your car makes atleast 430hp this is going to be a bad *** cam.

13.8 A/F is way lean for a dyno pull. Amazing it is that high after the headers were installed. Usually they richen it up. Get that thing at 13:1 with the cam and let us know... Better yet take it to the track...

I agree. 13.8:1 is way to lean espically on the dyno as when you car is under full load on the street it will be leaner than what it reads on the dyno as that doesn't simulate a full load on the car.

Can't wait to see your new numbers.

we found out that there were two bad wires and the plugs were fouled out after the cam was in. then it ran much better. so i know the basline would have been mid to high 340's if i had know that. expecially if i had a y-pipe
im going to set the a/f around 13.5

13.5 is too high still but hey it is your motor. 13.0 on th edyno will be around 13.5 or higher on the street with a load on it. Hightemps + High A/F ratio + lots of timing =
