Dyno results after a year of upgrades!
Well, like the title says, I thought I would share where I started just over a year ago and where I ended up. Unfortunatly, I never got a baseline dyno pull while stock, but I will list what was on the car at the time of the 1st pull. On a side note, I've never used race gas for the track or made pulls on the dyno with it. Comparison #2 is on pump 93 & alky. All parts on the car are from BR. The only exception was a different exhaust in comparison #1 that was switched out for a BR one in comparison #2.
2003 EVO VIII
Comparison #1
- All bolt-ons including 264 cams
- 22 peak boost
- Al Custom Tune
- 263/251 BR Mustang Dyno
- Best track time - 12.8 @ 108
Comparison #2
- Same as above with 272 cams
- AEM EMS (David custom tune)
- 20g-9
- 880 Injectors
- Alky @ 26 peak boost
- 372/340 BR Mustang Dyno
- Best track time - 11.7 @ 118
On a side note, I know the car is capable of better times so I hope to post some new results during the next season. I just need some more practice!
Overall, I'm very pleased with the results! I've really enjoyed working with both David & Dan at Buschur Racing. When I first started this whole thing, I was very un-educated about modding a car. Because of this, both David and Dan were extremely helpful in choosing the right path and parts to make power!
I would like to give a "BIG" thumbs-up to Buschur Racing for all their assistance and great parts! This is what I wanted for a "fast" daily driver!

Nice HP numbers, but your torque seems a bit low.
BTW, the link for you dyno sheet doesn't wok......well for me it doesn't.
+1 on the thumbs up for Buschur Racing.
Definetly worth another road trip when I want more go fast goodies!

Thanks guys. I'm feeling pretty good about it. The car runs great. With the exception of the twin-disk excedy clutch, the driveability is close to stock. But once the gas is depressed hard, stock flys out the window! 
6-Speed -- Your right, the torque is a bit low. Should be pretty close to the HP #. David said the same thing. With my setup, David said he sees others with higher torque but about the same HP. All I can say is that when I got the car, it just felt like it was weak to begin with. I think for now though I can live with 340wtq.
Oh well, I'm happy and satisfied. Now, I'm just thinking what next!!! I don't want a big turbo with lag because this is my daily driver so I'm thinking maybe a bigger set of cams / green turbo /...

Great numbers Mike, you know your ride is capable of at least an 11.4 without putting into too much stress. But driving it without any regards for breaking parts you can reach 11.3-11.2's.
Hope to see you at Edgewater once the season starts again.

Thanks Jose! Good to hear from you! Yep, I'm looking forward to getting back to the track and getting some better numbers!
It's about time though I watched you run yours into the 12's and 11's!!!!
See you soon!

Right now I have the HKS 272's. David said the tune was pretty conservative. I think the AFR's are 11.0 - 11.2.. <Something like that. There's more power to be had but I like to be more on the safeside due to the car being a daily driver.

what clutch are u running? If u had an upgraded clutch, might give u "crisper" times
how's the idle with the 272's?
I'm still debating between the 264's and 272's. . .thought I'd ask u, since I'm thinking of going down the same path. . .

I have the Exedy twin disk as well and it's awesome.
I stalled the car the first time, but once acclimated to it the feel is very close to stock. I guess the old adage is true: you get what you pay for.
I've driven a couple of Evo's with the ACT Street and it's definetly stiffer than the Exedy.
BTW, which twin-disc Exedy SD or HD?
HD here.
