That F-450 is nice, plenty of power for hauling.

You couldn't even feel the 850t & trailer back there! Nice boost gauge in the truck 1 to 4 x 10

What were your instructions for the tune when you dropped it off? Are you shooting for a certain #?

That's funny Mark, yesterday morning I woke up with 436 hp in my head. Well after talking to them, we are just going to see what she'll do in a safe & reliable fashion.
We must remember I am running stock pistons in this engine, after this one goes pop we'll move onto the set of forged Diamond pistons I had reworked.

This is going to be awesome to finally get this thing properly tuned, not just another off the shelf tune or using someone elses tune. Thinking back I have run just about every tune out there except one designed for my setup We talked afr's, well there's another big ????? They state every car behaves different so there is no Holy Grail of afr number out there. Matt & Tim said the dyno session will be GoProed so we can all watch it melt down Hope not

Awesome awesome! Whenever she's ready and you guys hit up the track, give me a call! I'd love to see what this beast can do.

Seeing all this also makes me happy I got your old engine. You put lots of care in your car.

Nice job Trent, can't wait to see what this thing puts down.

Regarding brakes: Did you see my wilwood kit? We finally found a machine shop to make brackets so now we can get the ball rolling again. LMK if you're interested in them buddaaay!

I recently sold my 18" Pegs, now the proud owner to 3 sets of 16"

Last week I had my L.F. caliper replaced and the tech is going the fricking wheel does fit / he forgot we had to grind down the caliper face so 16"s will fit
I guess I could always ask for Rims & tires for Christmas

Then again, my Wife is talking super charging her G35 coupe

No engine stand. Will also have to take the cam/valve cover bolts and CPS from my old engine but that shouldn't be too bad. Greg let it go for cheap to clear it out of his garage.

Have you never heard of putting a penny on your battery to stop corrision? Tape a toonie to your trunk lid and car won't corrode.



Actually it's for garbage day, if I run out of garbage tags I just tape a toonie to the bag and it magically disappears

One of my clowns at the shop sharpied it black when they were welding up the trunk.

Short update...

Street tuning performed today / Dyno tuning mid-week.

Matt @ MT Motorsports states vehicle is working well.

Asked what boost it's running at present / Matts reply (it's a secret)

Traction issues now have been moved from second gear to third (that's with Gripper Kids)

Plans to pick up the car this weekend. I hope they don't charge storage fees

Mustang dyno numbers to be posted up soon.

[s_moneh]

Great to see it come all this way, Trent.
Let's see some vids and/or numbers.

[BlackT5]

In for some numbers!

[s_moneh]

here we go!



that was the only run i could record on the phone and the sun totally messed it up but thats it!

on that run MT got it up to 368 fwhp on the mustang dyno


final number is roughly 420fwhp @ 18psi makes some serious jam

if all the issues get fixed or addressed she will be a horsepower freak

[fastwagonhawaii]

nice

[dublin14]

Holy Shit Trent!. I just talked to Matt and he said she screams. Glad this worked out for ya.

Im going the MS route now without a doubt. I think that might be the best number Ive seen at 18psi on VS.

That's sick!!
Any plans to hit the track anytime soon, Trent?

[BlackT5]

Trent must be ou burning his tires off. I wanna see the dyno sheet!

[s_moneh]

All i know is he was picking it up a few hours ago i hope he comes back soon and lets us know wat he thinks! Altho speaking of burning the tires off... The all seasons he had on the car were non existant after the dyno lmao so burning the rest off seems legit

[BlackT5]

I hope he wasn't going to trailer it home

[s_moneh]

i'm hoping the same! just gotta wait for an update i guess

i have the dyno sheet tho
