Mike Ward Racing Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Local racer, John Evans of Steel Tree Construction, has been working on his Mustang for over 3 years. The 1988 Mustang features a 400 cubic inch SBF with a gear driven F2 Procharger. John plans to run in the OSM Outlaw Drag Radial Class. After finally completing the project, John chose Mike Ward Racing to dyno tune. While the initial dyno session was cut short due to problems with the supercharger discharge tubing, the initial results were very favorable, yielding over 800 hp at partial boost. John is currently in the process of making minor mechanical repairs and modifications . We anticipate his return to our dyno in the near future for a final tuning session where we expect to see numbers in the 1600 hp range. John has come a long way on his car and we can’t wait to see it put out those numbers on our dyno and at the track. We will keep everyone updated on John’s progress. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/mxward1/237.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/mxward1/238.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/mxward1/240.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/mxward1/242.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/mxward1/244.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ward Racing Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Just for additional clarification, the tuning session was a collaborative effort between Tim, John, Pat Barnhill and Mike Ward. While Tim did take on the responsibiltiy of them major portion of tuning the blow thru carbs, there were several other areas that Mike was responsible for diagnosing, changing and/or making repairs, such as ignition timing, supercharger performance and debugging the fuel system. This was just an initial debugging session and the tune is scheduled to be completed at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
