YES... ED is the ****. that guy is crazy, trully a Mastermind, he said he could have generated more power but since i still dont have my damn EGT gauge, we decided to lil bit conservative, i made 335whp 400wtq w/ vp109 when i ran 11.7, but some how my car feels alot faster than before,

we actually hit 425wtq onces, but i think the stock BOV is not doing its job anymore, still on the stock clutch with 29,000 miles of hard driving, so far its holding, but i think few more launch with this power level, its gonna go, haha

im planning to add: equal lenght headers in a couple of month or so,get the EGT guage working, and exhaust cut out then im damn sure 360whp is possible and perhaps 450wtq? then maybe 11.5s?

a stock STi makes 215-225whp like a "true" low reading mustang dyno

thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed it

Congrats man!

That thins is probably nuts on the street.

[downsti]

thanks man

Yes its very insane, i ussually drive like a maniac back when i was running 91map, but im actually scared to drive like maniac now im at this crazy power level everyday, haha i respect it so much, you just dont want to drive it hard at all, you just want to cruiz and enjoy how smooth the car drives,

i always take pride on how good the stock clutch is, but with this power level everyday, the clutch is gonna go bad soon, and i cant afford a new clutch just yet

how you been man?, i havent seen u post in awhile

[Wrbimprezasti]

awww deammmmmn, good stuff sean and way to go Ed. Might have to fly Ed up here in the summer when i come back from my deployment =) Got something up my sleeve this coming season Sean =x hehehe, friendly rivals since day one right bro? ahhaha

[juanmedina]

for reference my ACT HD clutch lasted about 13K putting down similar power, I am going with a 6-puck unsprung next.

When are you going to the track? I can't wait to see what she runs!

How much boost are you running?

Thanks for the post Sean! Your car surprised me yet again. I knew we were on to something when we hit 320whp in almost 100F weather, but I did NOT expect this kind of power and torque in colder weather. This is yet again another record for the highest power on a VF39 on my software and we didn't have to push it hard to get there! The previous record setting tune on race gas was much more aggressive and still didn't make the same kind of power. I'm switching my own car to E85 in the near future

Its pushing right around 25psi peak and holding just under 18psi to redline.

[nhat]

FML i wish more gas stations carried e85 in VA

is this with the stock bcs? or do you have some sort of 3port?

I don't know how you do it? 18psi at redline is crazy...What is redline anyways?

On my best pull on Airboys my car made 346whp and 404 wtq and it hold 15psi at 6750 RPM.

Do you attribute holding more boost at redline to the EWG? Are you using a helper spring? is it possible to do this with a VF39/43 IWG.

Can you please post some logs in the official road dyno thread for comparison

Good job I need to send you some of my logs

It looks like its holding about 17.8psi all the way to 7k RPM. The EWG definately has something to do with that as well as the free flowing intake and exhaust setup. The 50F temps didn't hurt either .

We're not using any helper springs since its running an EWG.

I've made similar power on VF39 with IWG before. To be honest, I don't think the extra boost up top is doing too much for us. I wouldn't be surprised if we induced a taper down to about 16psi and made the same power.

Thanks

This is with a Hallman MBC controlling boost. Still my favorite form of boost control to date

[Boost is Best]

Hell yea man!!!! Nice numbers

[CatfaceType-R]

dude, someone make a damn divorced wastegate pipe with a dump so we don't have to buy these ewg kits that do nothing...k thx EVO STATUS



SEAN!!! big power my friend, hit me when you go to the track! pit crew status

and I might just run my bike against you if those quacks at sac drags let me (doubt it) now that would be a cool vid

ed, what's the timing like? does his car take it well(obviously kinda)

[bObby]

Sean still killin' it!!

[dan avoN7]

Congrats Sean! I want a ride in the car

This is on the stock TMIC. The 850's are hitting about 96% IDC by redline.

^^^precisely why draco's numbers are skewed

ed, what's seans timing like?
