^ I didnt think about that, but youre completely right.

Yes, I just looked at stillen's. They used STD.
I called the shop to get my STD numbers 445hp/335tq. |
That's great. Just wanted to make sure the correction factors are the same so it would be a fair comparison :D
So final figures are 445whp/335wtq @ 8psi and 93 octane. |
Yup, and the run 9 minutes before that was 442hp/331tq....so its not like I picked an outlier.

Looking GREAT!!....its amazing how much difference you can see dyno vs. dyno....thats why the mustang is the "heart breaker" but I LOVE tuning on her..nothing really compares with Load bearing.... :tiphat:

Yeah, its crazy how big the difference is. Thanks for the Tune Jack.

Getting back to the engine bay temps...
I firmly believe that a vented hood would work wonders for our cars. Add a better radiator fan setup and thermostat, and you'll be golden. I was sitting in gridlock traffic for an hour last week in 90F weather and did a little research. Idling with the A/C on gave me oil temps of 215F. The A/C compressor activates the driver's side radiator fan...with the A/C off, only the passenger side fan is normally running. When I turned off the A/C (and the driver's side fan shut down), the engine temps climbed 15F to 230F. Vented hood and better fans = win |

Thanks Nitex
Spearfish, I've been thinking about a hood and painting all of it. I think I want to do some testing though. I'm gonna borrow a heat sensor to see how each change I make affects engine bay temps. I'm thinking the following: - Jet hot coating intake charge pipe - CryO2 Intercooler Sprayer for Heat exchanger / oil cooler - Reflective gold foil on manifold / Water reservoir - Heat shielding to isolate headers - Oil cooler Fan - Vented hood |
I assume you are going to run the heat sensor before doing anything?
Something else that might be a good idea is to see how the air is flowing off the engine. Using the Mustang as an example the front of the hood is a large area of where the air dumps out, hence why the GT500 and such put the vent there. |

how about removing some of the plastic shroud that connects the hood and the winshield? mine is completely removed, as is the wiper assembly, and I suspect it has improved the flow
