Re: Consolidation of mods, dynos, and track times

Just got back from the dynoman.

- Dynoed her in 3rd gear
- 87 Octane gas
- Conventional Oil 5w-30
- BFG AT 315/70/17
- MagnaFlow performance muffler with MagnaFlow tip, Stock piping
- Volant Gen3 Intake
- PowerAid TBS
- 55.57 Degrees Fahrenhiet
- 23% Humidity

Here is what I got after 4 runs (All 4 runs were within only 2HP and 10ft/lb Torque):

245.15 Max HP, 288.64 Max Torque.

Anyone knows if there is a det detector in the Titan to advance the timing for higher octane fuel? My dyno guy seems to think there is one. He see's spikes in the graph that indicate timing is being retarded (someting in the lines of those words, don't quote me).

I might do a test with syn oil and 91 octane in the summer to see how much higher octane and syn improves the results.

My dyno guy also believes the big BFG AT's are the biggest factor in limiting my numbers, not only are they a lot heavier but the tread on them create a lot drag that really hampers the performance. Says I might gain 20HP by just going to smaller and smoother tire, no way am I doing that though as I need the BFG's for snow and going in the dirt, and going smaller tire is no choice as I love the look of 35" tires on my truck.

Here is the picture, and pictures don't lie
