Whatever... 1/4 mile time HP calcs require weight to estimate horsepower.

quote It's funny because you're the one ramming HIS dyno down my throat.

I referred to it once...

quote So it seems you just used it to troll when you knew it was relative all along.

You keep calling me a troll... you made the claim that aluminum heads were no better than iron heads, heck you even started a new post to fan the flames from other threads hoping to draw more into the argument:
For "aluminum head enthusiasts"
During which you said:

You didn't think that would attract interest? So here is your thread and here are your dyno's and you've had a couple of 'low' ones that agree with each other and one or two high ones one of which seems like an operator error due to other behaviors attributed to the operator by you. You're tune is never right, everyone here is a troll, everyone at 60DegreeV6 is a troll, you talk about people talking down to you... do you ever read your own posts?

If you're arguing that your iron heads with an undefined amount of porting, an aftermarket intake, corrected exhaust and bigger throttle body matches/beats what a stock 3400 can do with the same cam, then congrats, you've most likely done it.

That, however, does not make them equal yet, because you can still do the same thing to the aluminum heads and make similar gains beyond that...

Honestly, it will be interesting to see how it behaves with your new cam next season, as that will tell even more about the heads' ability to flow.

As you can see below, my re-tune cause me to go too lean after 4400 so I lost peak power but before that it still goes way too rich when the throttle gets mashed...



The a/f table I used:



I can see it putting down 17X hp when I re-richen up the top end but I am not going for a dyno until I can fix the bottom end because it's my launches that are killing me at the track.

I'd go to the Mustang dyno and practice hard launches while recording data to view after the runs. Forget about making power, just concentrate about getting a crispy clean throttle response with no hiccups.
Hmmm! I'm running about 14.xx from 4000rpm and up and I'm peaking 173 hp at 6000 rpm. Let us know if numbers go up when you do enrich it so I can try the same.



Good luck!

Thanks! Out of curiosity what cam are you running?
Looking at your a/f, it seems you do climb to 14 for a couple of thousand rpm but go back to 13 at your peak. You should try to keep it at 13 the whole time.
