My Dyno results from Scheid's Mustang dyno.

With the KSB Hotwire switch on my truck was lower on power (quite a bit) and you could hear it going flat. I dont know if the spacer plus the hotwire is too much or what. Oh well. I dont really like the switch much anyway, it feels fake.

Anyway, the numbers are higher than i expected after reading past results and hearing about their "stingy" dyno. I was more doing it for fun than anything else and to have sheets to post. I felt left out without dyno numbers. Next year i hope to have the bugs worked out and get it on Dunbar's then ill be able to compare to others.





Here's a (big) pic of the row of 1st gen trucks that got their early enough to fit into this spot. There was quite the number of them their, surprisingly.

That's a pretty big HP jump, all you did was give it less timing?

And SWEET looking group of trucks in that pic!

All i did what flip off that switch for the 2nd run. The only other thing i could think of was the dyno operator didnt have the pedal mashed well enough but the way the truck sounded, it seemed like too much timing.

As for the group, I was surprised of how many of those guys are from the cummins websites. i bet 1/2 of that group alone were plus others who couldnt bring their trucks or just sold their 1st gens. I had a good time, the dog got too hot and after all the diesel soot and tire smoke i started to get the munchies and left early. We'll be back next year!

I wasnt there all that long but still had a good time. Im glad im a 1st gen guy because the other people were really showing their maturity. If i had a $60,000 truck getting pelted by some 17 year old doing burnout, i would have been angry

I made my own timing spacer & also noticed to much timing when switch was turned on truck ran slower I used some spacers out of a core pump so that i can adjust timing with different thickness shims you have to play with it until you get want you want

On your dyno charts, it looks like your hp was on the rise... looks like you coulda held it open longer and got a little more or were you not driving/operating it??? I woulda thought you would have been more in the 300hp range. How far is your pump turned up? still good numbers though, I wouldn't be disappointed.

They had someone else drive all of the trucks. Kept things moving right along. I think he could have held it open for about another 30 mph if he wanted to but probably as they see the torque pointing down they give up.

My pump is 1/2 turn from where it had hung before. so im 1/2 turn or closer to hanging rpms.
