who is sean?

--------------------
Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?
I act like I'm@Age15
I make friends on the internet that are@Age18
I was picked on in my youth so I became a bully@Age24

My internet friends and I ALL just got the boot for good!@Age31
Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

The person everyone has been telling you to go to. He is the head man at Jeff S shop now, has a DART block twin turbo 93 cobra, and his wifeys GT is quick as well. Call him, dont worry about it any more, he will help you.

Not to burst your bubble, im glad your not planning on going 10's or 9's with your current set up because you should only be around 390 hp and 480 lbs to the wheels say around 9 psi with a stock motor. Not to mention a 62mm turbo is only good to say 500 or a little more hp. Hope you plan on going to a 66 or a 76 Q trim [patriot] to reach your 9 second goal

Good Luck and lets see some photos [Big Grin]

I run an Incon TT kit on my 93 Cobra. With stock GT40 iron heads, stock Cobra intake, stock Cobra cam, stock shortblock the car *supposedly* made 457/508 Rear wheel on a dyno in Utah (before I bought it). The previous owners best track time was 12.8 @112mph. I bought the car, fixed a few minor issues & ran 13.5 @115mph. LOL After the 331 it put down 430/507 Rear wheel with 7-8psi & ran 11.9 @119mph. With more boost, some porting, & a better cam it's gone as fast as 11.1 @128mph with 12-13psi.....& has NEVER put down more than 457RWHP.

In other words, dyno #'s don't mean shit! [Wink]
They're simply a tool for tuning.

Yes, I can tune your car & have experience with turbo mustangs...but here's the problem...

The dyno at the shop is NOT a load bearing dyno, which means it will not load down the car like the street will. My own personal experience with Apex/Mustang Ranch's dyno (dynojet248's) & my turbo car was that on the dyno it made 2-3psi LESS boost than on the street or at the dragstrip. I could not dial in the tune on an inertia dyno....so I tuned it on the street & have never looked back.

You'll either want to a shop with a load bearing dyno (I believe CDT has one) or have a tuner tune the car at the track....or both.

I can get the tune 'close' on the dyno we have at the shop, but not perfect.....I recomend against tuning a turbo car on an inertia dyno. (dynojet 248)

and if something breaks, top of the line shit will be replacing it.

i've had this car two weeks, money isn't much of an issue, but i'm not dumping everything at first, i'll see how it does with the stock motor, if i'm satisfied then i'm satisfied and i don't think i'm god to whoever posted that shit.

He wasn't referring to you as "God" he was merely referring to your expectations of the turbo installation and your 1/4 mile times.

I also concur on 93Pony he seems to know his $hit whenever he posts. [worship]

Let us know who you decide to let tune your car and how much rwhp you make with what mods. I've always wondered of those numbers quoted in the magazines are true. 400 rwhp sounds like a lot from a stock motor.

Dynotrac is what they call it, it basically drags the roller brakes. Mustang dyno's use an eddy current electromagnet to apply load, based on a user input, to hold a certain speed, or based on car weight and aerodynamics.

Here is what dynojet.com says the load control is. http://www.dynojet.com/motorcycle_dyno/m250i_load_control.php

"Dynojet's Load Control System uses the latest in eddy current power absorption technology, which combines with our easy-to-use software to give any technician repeatable, consistent results. The Load Control software provides a technician with the ability to control vehicle RPM or speed at any throttle opening. Through our exclusive closed-loop software design, the vehicle is automatically held at the pre determined setting."

looks like its good to 750HP.

My turboed 02 Gt tuned fine at Apex and ran great on the street. Back when I first installed my turbo about 8 mo.s ago, nobody here in the bay wanted to try to tune my car but Apex. Dunno but, that was my experience.
