[BULLITT #1042 (Ray Ackerman)]

My Bullitt has 435 miles on it right now i will try to put at least another 75 miles tomorrow (saturday). I will post my dyno results.The bullitt is stock I have not even changed the oil yet.
The car will be dyno the way it came from Ford. I do have a K&N air filter if i have time to let the car cool down i will put the K&N on the car to see if there is anymore HP.

thanks Ray, let us know how it goes

 

[Mus408]

Good luck Ray,while I figure mine out on that 1/4 mile Dyno!!!!

 

[BULLITT #1042 (Ray Ackerman)]

OK everyone I now have 500.8 miles on the BULLITT i'm ready for the dyno tomorrow!! (sunday)

 

[JayP]

Great. I'd like to see some numbers.
My engine has over 700 miles and it still feels tight. I wouldn't be suprised if the hp came out a little low.

I should have dyno it at about 100 miles and then at 2000 miles to see the differance in HP.

 

[roushraven99]

Hey Ray how did the dyno session go???

 

[JB VOBRA]

Ray, inquiring minds want to know, hehe

 

[BULLITT #1042 (Ray Ackerman)]

Update...

I was setup with the dyno shop at 10:00am. The shop was doing some mods on a GT today they ran behind.The dyno shop said they might get me in this afternoon but i have not heard from them yet as of 5:30pm est. So it looks like it will be on monday after 5:00pm est.
I will post the results right after the dyno.

Your not kidding it's killing ME!

 

[BULLITT #1042 (Ray Ackerman)]

The verdict is in...

I finally got my car dynoed tonight, here is a scan of the results first run 225.8 second run 227.9 third run with K&N filter 228.2
( wow that K&N did'nt even give me one horsepower )

Looking at my second run of 227.9 if i had calulated the 15% loose it looks like 268 horsepower. That run was done without that big K&N monster horsepower filter.The car only had 516 miles with no mods at all not even an oil change. I did put gas in the car yesterday 87 octang Texeco i do notice a ping in the engine that was not there before i filled up. I am going to have to fine gas that won't ping.

I was not really happy with the dyno machine because the machine could not get hooked up to the engine to give me the torque, i was really looking forward to the torque figures.
So i can figure out the best shift points.

It was very hot in the garage where the dyno was done, if i remember right it was 89 degrees with 40% humidity.

I'm hoping for somemore horsepower after i put somemore miles on the car, what do you Guys/Gals think?

Ray,did they have a fan blowing air around the front of the car? I noticed a ping in the middle of 3rd gear during my second run at the strip. Maybe 87 octane isn't quite good enough under hard load and hot weather.

Yes we had a large fan in front of the car. I will experiment with different brands of gas if that does not help i may try a higher octane.
I'm happy with the 268HP i think after the car is broken in more and an oil change i will gain some more HP.

 

[JB VOBRA]

Ray, that's right on the money with the power output. 228rw is right around 268 flywheel.

But that's a total bummer the tourque didn't read!! Makes me wonder if the hp numbers are accurate.

In my best Gore voice..."RE-COUNT!" :-B

RE-COUNT ahhh :roll: Us Florida fokes resemble that remark :lol:

The wire for the torque was not hooked up.The dyno operator said the Dyno-Jet would not read our engines. No spark plug wires. I don't know if it's true?
I need the torgue figures.I will look for another dyno shop.

 

[JB VOBRA]

well, I'm not exactly positive of the dyno model you were on, but the dynojet at Houston Performance had no problem getting my tourque readings:

236.7rwhp
271.8rwtq

the car had 480 miles on it and a k&n. Tell that shop to call Steve Drier 281-893-6080 and ask how to dyno coil-on-plug setups. Steve dynos the newer Gt's and cobras all the time with no problem.

 

[bbullitt]

I think those are positive numbers. After a few more miles of break in and some denser air there is sure to be a few more ponies under the hood. 268 hp is still stronger that what's advertised!

 

[roushraven99]

Hey Ray,

Those results look good, just give your car's engine a little more time to break-in. Some cars take longer than others depending on how they are driven. Too bad though that the torque didn't read.

 

[Crimecrusher]

I know I was at least the first to post dyno numbers on a Bullitt. I had mine dynoed the day I picked it up on 5/7. By the time I got to the shop it had 65 miles on it. I will dyno again in a month or so. Right now I have 1300 miles and getting ready for my first oil change.
