My can also with a wicked conservative tune put down 490/492 (on a really hot day). Im not bashing in ANY way at the end of the day its YOUR car and if you are happy with those numbers great!!
Im not saying your bashing me i just want to know what people think i should be putting down. Am i way under at 7 PSI? Is the torque curve good? where should my air to fuels be? What type of setup are you running and how much boost?

at 7-8lbs around 420 or so. The TQ looks fine and it comes in quick, much faster than mine I think. Im running a custom setup my dyno in my sig was at 8lbs and im running 10 now.

Yes im at a loss for word on that, one person said i could be too rich and that im losing EGT which creates loss in boost.

Are you saying in the 3500 RPM range it should drop a bit more into the 11's. Whats is the magic number that is still safe for your air/fuel

Im no expert but I dont think a yo are too rich and B that is causing your boost drop off, who tuned it BTW and do you know the dyno they used?

your tip in AF from when it starts to record to around 3K looks lean.

Then I am sorry to say it is only a matter of time...especially if you upped the boost to 10psi which would make your numbers in the 500rwhp+ range...yikes!

The rule of thumb in calculating horsepower is if you double the amount of air ingested you double the power. Since atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 psi, if you run 14.7 psi boost you increase power by approx. 100%. Run half that much boost, ie. 7.35 psi and you increase power by 50%. So a bone stock Mustang that makes 265rwhp should make ~408rwhp@ 8 psi and 530@ 14.7psi.

Thats pretty interesting but of course there are many other variables especially having to do with the efficiency of the poweradder

its all in the tune, will it last for ever no. How long do you think it will hold together for? And Id bet im around 550/550.

My car made much more then that at 8psi.

Dude your car sounds like a **** machine! Please do not blow it up! You are easily one of the luckiest people I know if your rods havent given out yet...do yourself a favor and invest in a forged rotating assembly

Thats a good gauge to go on... i know of course there are many variables that go into it but a very interesting fact. thanks
