Black and Blown Dyno Numbers ***updated w/graph and video***

[Black and Blown]

I know, it's hard to believe you actually read the name of this post correctly.  But as most of you know, it's a long process getting your car ready to hit the track and/or dyno.  So here are my benchmark numbers... then we'll see where we can go from here.  By the way, this is a Mustang Chassis Dyno, and there will be more info as well as video footage to come.  But for now here are the first round of numbers...

688 ft/lbs. Torque @ 1350 RPM (drops from there and settles around 490 by 3500)
404 HP @ 4402 RPM

My tach told me 5000 RPM, so next time I'll pull it up through 5500 (my tach), so I can get the rest of the curve, but it looks like it would hit 430-440 at 5000 RPM. 

The tuner (who races professionally and was extremely knowledgeable) wants to adjust the A/F mixture and the timing.  But, alas, that will be the NEXT appointment.  I was just glad nothing broke!!     So there you have it... the answer to the AGE OLD question of "I wonder what that car would do?".

Also, I got it onto the scale and she came in at 3780 lbs without me and my 160 lbs.  Somebody please punch those numbers into a program and give me an estimated 1/4 ET. 

Here's the video link... enjoy!!

Here's the graph... look at it closely because the torque numbers are on the left axis, and the HP numbers on the right -- the curves do not meet, even though this graph makes it appear as though they do.

Been busy like a bee.  Daughter just graduated from high school, work, church, etc etc etc.  Thanks for asking!  Good to be back.

that is a WICKED torque number...       your tuner should be able to run a simulated 1/4 mile on his mustang dyno...     the numbers are ideal however you will get a true idea of what your car is capable of...        We had a 64 Polara on the dyno and it made 431hp and 488tq...     simpluted 1/4 mile came out to 11.09 @ 117.5mph...        so i think your tq number is highly impressive.

Blown engines allways make impressive torque numbers ! 

Get that badboy to the track and see what it does. It should run in the 11's....no problem.

Where did you get this program?  Is it on the web?  I'd like to monkey around with it.

Thank you both for the links.  Useful stuff.

Here's a random question, about how much horsepower is lost between the flywheel and the rear wheels for most mopars with a 727 tranny?

from my understanding the torque convertor can play a large part with loss...     figure 25% to 30% loss
