7.3L SUPERCHARGED MUSTANG gets dyno tuned!!

After getting the remaining small mechanical items done on our list we took the Foxbody mustang, otherwise known as Foxzilla, over to the dyno. Thanks to our buddies at Off the Line for letting us use the dyno for the evening, and also thank you to Sam for the tune!
We did encounter a couple small issues so we weren't able to go for big power during this session, but we will make a couple changes to our setup and come back to the dyno later to see full power numbers,
Thanks for watching and please subscribe to our channel!

Well...technically 🇨🇦 for the Godzilla

[@cavscout62]

Watching this guy tune by easing up and correcting in baby steps is so enjoyable, this is how it’s supposed to be done. Learn as you tune, taking your time. This engine should live long and make great power. Good Work.

[@MotionAutoTv]

Awesome build and cool to see it running on ecu master. I know it has per cyl fuel trims are you just looking for bank to bank fuel correction? Iv really only used the EMU on 4 and 6cyl cars, is it normal to have big differences between banks on v6/v8's?

[@TheRcbthree]

I believe it is called Injector Trim in the ECU master.

[@EnglertRacing96]

Not bank to bank per say but on a 90* crankshaft you habe 180-90-180-270 you have 2 cylinders per bank that fire 90* apart the seconds exhaust blowdown interferes with the firsts overlap. It's enough to need individual cylinder fuel trim.

[@jp360ford2]

@@randysrestoration I really hate to say it but the 5.0 Coyote swap, to ME, is the Ford equivalent to GM LS swap. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Totally respectable motors but just overdone a little bit. Unfortunately I’m a little old school and have been told I have an old soul…. I like doing things nobody else does. Both my old Fords have FEs in them (352 & 360). I’d LOVE to keep running them but I think President Potatohead will ruin that for me. Even if I adapt to OD tranny/TBI…. 🤦🏻‍♂️ But I digress. For the longest time I was thinking of a 408w or 427w for the ‘59 Fairlane. I love the EcoBoost but I’m very uncertain of the sound. I’ve searched different exhausts audio clips and it’s really hard to find one that doesn’t resemble a ricer. I’m a little tardy to the party in “discovering” the 7.3L Godzilla but DANG!! I enjoy your channel Randy and subbed a long time ago. I enjoy this one too and I’m eager to see how this unfolds. Not sure I’ll run a supercharger though..

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

@@creativewerksinc are you running a godzilla? What do you like better about the EMtron? Thanks for your input I appreciate it🙂

[@creativewerksinc]

@@Hoppysjunkyardrally there has been a lot of support with EMtron, it tied to the PMU, dash, fuel pump and fan controllers flawlessly. I think all efi system have potential. The EMtron seems like a good top end system for advanced motor sports that’s on par with MOTec and other advanced systems. ECU masters software is very easy, Holley the same but EMtrons features per price blow them all away.

@@Jessersadler no replacement for displacement fool. Number one rule.

[@Jessersadler]

@Gadite Mashiach Qam Yasharahla Absolutely. But 430 hp, 475tq at the crank is abysmal numbers for 7.3 liters. The LT 6.2 makes 420 hp, 460tq, and the 6.6 isn't far off. . . You are using a motor designed by the factory to pull, to hot rod, which is cool, just means the motor is going to need more messaging. For the 7k spent on this 7.3, you could have a L86, add port injection, cams, get some headwork, and a turbo for the same price. Add the fact that the 6.2 is 200lbs lighter, and a smaller footprint. Just seems like one is clearly the winner, unless you're just fanboying, which is cool. . . But I wouldn't pay more to go slower

Will dyno-ing a brand-new engine, without the customary break-in period, ruin an engine?

[@CWIPerformance]

this was basically the break-in for the motor. We haven't even started pushing on it yet. basically wanted to get it warmed up and running then slowly add some power. Depending on the motor and the overall build you can potentially cause issues with going ham right out of the gate with a brand new motor.

[@CWIPerformance]

What would be a number that you have specifically in mind? In this video we had some limitations that set us back in making 1000whp, we now broke through those limitations and are making 1080 to the wheel. There are a few others already making 1500+ hp. You have to also remember that the Godzilla platform is in its first 4 years in the aftermarket, the LS has 20+ years of aftermarket development and support. As more companies continue to develop parts the numbers will go up.

[@druumoren4458]

Weak. 1200hp. Too much money too little brains. No hub dyno. Weak

[@CWIPerformance]

well considering we redesigned the oiling system from scratch, made our own intake with built in intercooler and did a bunch of development work on the motor I'd say we're doing pretty good. We don't have access to a hub dyno locally at the moment.
