Question I was dyno tuning a Torquer v2 cam from TSP and could not get the cam to do a thing. This was a retune off of a Ed wright tune that I was working. Please keep in mind this is on a mustang dyno so numbers are typically 10-15% lower than dynojet. I am not saying anything neg towards ED hell I could not get much more power than his tune made. On the mustang dyno the car pulled like 300 rwhp and 302rwtq which on dynojet numbers may be like 345rwhp and 347rwtq. Also keep in mind this is an stalled auto locked up. The best I was able to pull out was 305rwhp 310rwtq. The only difference with the tune he came in with was I held the 300+ hp range for 700rpms opposed to the 200rpms it would hold at before. This is a 1998 TA with cat back exhaust no cats and long tubes and of course the cam listed above. I had a friend whos car I tuned with the F13 cam from futural and it made 394rwhp and 384rwtq on a stick granted and once again on a mustang dyno. Granted this guys car should loose some throught the converter and tranny but not 90rwhp....... Any thoughts anyone?

 

I see you are in Houston, why not just go to TSP and sort it out?
Have you checked your motor health status lately?

 

Im sure we could check it out ourselves but the kid was in houston from Lousiana for like 2 hours we had no time to check it. Its not really my motor if my car made 300rwhp at 16psi I would cry........... Something is not right in that car we did not do any of the work on it so its hard to say.

 

spark plug wire off or arcing? Ive been guilty of that in the past....

 

That very well could have been the case maybe arching not off. I did a scan for misfires per cyclinder and saw none well maybe a one or two count but thats not out of the ordinary for a cammed car. Who knows the kid is bringing the car back so I guess well figure it out then........what does the usual a4 make with this cam.

 

Youve got problems somewhere. Who installed the cam?

 

thats the same thing I wanted to know. I guess Ill know more when the kid comes back to houston. All I know is I played with that tune for like an hour and thrity min and gain very little........I agree the car has problems.....once he comes back I think we will go over everything to see where the power is going

 

I'm making ~430 rwhp with heads + bolt ons.

 

Yeah thats about what I had figured it should make dynojet and mustang should be about 370. Yeah something is definitely wrong with that car.

 

sounds like he may have installed it 1 tooth off - tell him to re-check the timing
