Dyno Day.. =/

blown98gt · Mar 11, 2010

so first off i'm just so i don't even know a good word to describe how i feel at this very moment.. just bleh.. took the mustang up to Modular Depot today to finish her up and get the final tune.. well just one issue after another and by 2:30 pm today they finally found out that the intake gasket wasn't sealing properly and leaking into the spark plug hole and causing so many issues in the ignition system.. so no new numbers, no tune and i just got to the point where i was so sick of my car that i just told MD to keep it and fix it. I fly back out to Korea Sunday but some time next week they are hoping to get it on the dyno and i guess it'll just sit till I get home in June. Today has just been a really crappy day, you go up with hopes and dyno days either A. Make all your dreams come true, or B. Take all your dreams and put them in the shitter =) anyways, i just needed to vent for a moment... today has just been one of those days .

just so everyone knows, the reason for the dyno was the AFM Boost pipe, a new MAF and 3.55 gears but it's good we found the new issues and they are expecting new numbers a lot higher than before..

thanks man, it is very very very aggervating.. My dad and Fiance' were with me and I was to the point where I wanted to just drive the car off a bridge all said and down i'm gonna be out about $1,000 with all the mech work and then it still needs a full dyno day to finish it so i'm a bit stressed about it but alteast it's getting done and done right...

ah man tough break, hopefully they can put a hell of a tune on it for you to make it all worth while.

Good thing is that it will be ready for some tire smoking burnouts when you get home.

no doubt but it's hard to sit there and watch your baby just putt and sputter and not do a thing.. =( she had to go under the knife for heart surgery...

when I read the post I thought it was worse then that. I remember the excitement of the day, watching the strap it down, get her running and hear her roar. First run just wasn't right and wasn't makin the numbers we thought it should so he made some adjustments and hit it again. I got a little more that time but after the dyno spun down and we could hear the motor again the tech working on a car on the passenger side said he heard a knock from the motor. We went around to his side and there was definitly a knock....... After dropping the pan we found the main bearings were shredded so be happy they found your problems before it got worse as trust me the only way to be more dissappointed is to see it not make numbers and eat itself on there.
