VIDEO at Idle plus streetability and WOT with my 511rwhp / FTI

A quick technical Info to answer a question asked on another forum, it may be helpful.

Without revealing the complete tune Jeremy FORMATO did on the dyno to extract those huge numbers for a so small reliable tame / wild engine, here is below how the AFR was set-up on the last pull which was the 8th one:

As a follow up on my engine life after almost one year I am going to duplicate a post from another forum where the question was asked by a member:

Hi ZOHSIX,

Since the engine was upgrade and Dynoded to 511 rwhp on December 27th 2006 I drove 4736 miles...and I now realize my business is keeping me away from driving my car...

On the other hand a strong % of those miles are some fun miles...

I have recorded under my HP Tuner log files 142 logs of acceleration similar as this one of this morning (always on a private road ):




And I have 14 of those logs that are top speed only (this one is a 185 mph pull) :




In every case the engine is used in its power band from 5500rpm to 7300 rpm (and some abuse to 7500+ rpm...Sorry Ed, but that's so fun!!!) as a daily bases, even when I cruise with my wife I can't prevent to use this engine where he is happy...

Your second question is how it is holding up and the answer is better than ever...seems that the engine is at least as strong as first day out of the dyno...I would say the acceleration time are showing some improvements...and another dyno session will confirm it

Your last question is "any problems"...and yes I had some
TIRES and GEAR BOX and CLUTCH ...but that has been solved on the path .

Other of that, every minutes I am driving this car when I am back to Florida is just pure fun with no worries!!!!

Hi Suicide King,

good catch...but we were strapped in our harness!!!!!

and on a private road, no way to drive without seat belts around town or on an open road, safety first...

Be safe and have fun

Where do you find a private road that allows you to accelerate to 185mph...??

I receive regularly PMs from Members asking about my "track time".

Not always the opportunity, and maybe not the real motivation...

This afternoon I made a short video launching a run on my usual private road in the 77* 70% Florida humidity.
It was pretty sandy and traction is effective in third gear only.

I still love the way my 'small' engine is accelerating on his 3:42 rear dif...

What do you think?
