All of the 21 psi Whipples with 100 LESS RWHP should really be interested in the secret sauce! Oh, and the 19psi Gen 2 Whipples with 150 LESS RWHP should be paying attention too.
Where do you put the uranium pellets?
Ed, if you are ever in SoCal area I'll pay for the dyno session as I think clearly there's a calibration problem locally - perhaps due to the air quality differences from NorCal.
Let me make clear; the numbers are not only correct and they have been duplicated on more than one dyno; now as to what was done to Ed's car; let me remind you that her heart was massaged and in fact I made clear of this long ago; crank, rods, pistons, cams, heads, etc. In short she has a fully massaged heart being assisted by a Gen II Whipple creating 17 PSI and her timing at peak is only 14 degrees. Now the reason that the dyno was only to roughly 6500 RPM is because she wants more fuel; as she is now the fuel system is OEM.
We have discussed addimng more fuel which would only better these numbers however based oon the manner that Ed uses his gal it has not been deemed necessary.
How about a simple comment like "very cool" rather than trying to shoot bullet holes in Ed's "badass" project. Your reply calls flag on the play as if Ed is a liar; why?
Thank you all for the kind words; Ed continues to enjoy his gal having in excess of 30K miles on her during which I have been given the opportunity to massage her along their journey.
I need to clarify that the dyno sheet shows in text 869 peak torques however this was a spike at the onset of the pull whereas the actual torque peak was 838.
The dyno chart as presented was with "smoothing" set on "1" for those that are wondering.
Lastly; my friend John aka AccuFab has worked me on several projects and the heart within Ed's gal is one of them. The gross head work for Ed's gal meaning the porting was completed by other than John aka AccuFab however he and his team did install and fit the custom valve guides and seats followed by the Ferrea valves supported by Manley springs and retainers and as the result of his hand fitting and attention to detail to the ports etc. they perform flawlessly.
Now in closing threads such as this are IMO to be fun; fun for the person sharing as well as for those compelled to read and reply. Ed made the decision to present the dyno chart something that I would “not” have done because inevitably someone will toss sour milk on it. I only use dynos for WOT tuning and then create the tunes in real time during real world driving acts so for me a dyno is simply another tool that I use to determine many things however wanting to create and present some “holy grail” of horsepower is not one of them.
To be clear; to duplicate Ed’s mechanical performance numbers is not a simple act nor is it an inexpensive one.
Years ago I used to tell people to create their own “lapel pin” dyno chart so that they would have something to present at the static display car shows because in all my years of participating in automotive racing events what it shows on paper meant nothing as it was all about who completed the act first.
Takes care
