Dyno Day!

I visited Fastlane Motorsports in Benson, NC. The Bullitt spent a couple hours on the dyno getting tuned this afternoon, and the second and final tune was good for a stout 494HP/466TQ. This was with an outside temperature of about 80 degrees. (In fact, just the "house tune" for my car's particular combo, which we started off with, was already good for 453HP.) Base timing is at 14 degrees, which is safe for 93 and even 91 octane. I wanted to not have to worry about using 91 octane if needed on a trip or something.

I learned a lot about how the car's onboard computer works, and it's way more advanced than I realized. For instance, the computer can pull timing if the Inlet Air Temp gets too high, so there's a margin for safety there even with a supercharged car (if the probe has been installed in the correct location.)

I've decided I'm bringing in the '66 for a pull or two next week! :-)

Here's a video of the 494 pull:
