Moorespeed Dyno Day this Saturday

We are having a Dyno day for both the Ferrari & Porsche Clubs here in Austin this Saturday starting at 9am. We may have some afternoon spots open (2wd only). Fee is $100 for two back to back runs. Email me [email protected]

Currently we have: (2) 355, (1) 355C, (1) 599, (1) 993, (1) RUF 3600S, (1) 996, (1) 944Turbo

Our chassis Dyno is state of the art eddie current variety: MUSTANG CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER MD-1100-SE

The 599 made just under 480 at the wheels or around 600 at the crank (20% loss/chassis dyno) and it was hot as hell by then and very humid. Also even in manual mode and race/sport mode, the car would shift to top gear 200 rpm before redline which is where peak HP was recorded by Ferrari I believe.

Also remember this is an eddie current dyno not an inertia dyno that inflates the numbers. I've never been able to tune a car on an inertia dyno and get out on the road or track and not have to tune it a great deal more.

So far this Mustang eddie current dyno is spot on to real world/track conditions. I have not had to make any tuning changes coming off the dyno afterwards. Afterall that is what a dyno is supposed to be, a tool to tune with.....

I'll post a few dyno run graphs shortly.

 

Here is a 599, 360, and 308 QV

Yes, I took it on trade on his old 951 after I restored it complete. Now I have completely restored the 348. Mechanically we had taken care of his car for 10 years but he eventually got behind. We did panel off paint job, new carbon front bumper, engine out for major "plus", new clutch & flywheel, tires, interior out and refurbished, even fixed the "mouse" seatbelt system, new electric window motors and central locking motors, had the wheels repaired and refinished, installed a 360 Mexico pro stereo system, widened the track, etc, etc. check out http://moorespeed.com/sales/cars/index.html and then click on the link for the 348 second down and you will see it turned out extremely nice. As you know I'm extremely picky and left no stone unturned putting this Ferrari back 100% for myself. I was going to sell my 308 but man that is tough. The 348 is cool, but nobody has a 308 that looks as good as mine nor handles as well with the 360 shoes and Moton dbl adjustables I installed. I'd love just to keep both. However, I am selling it to finance a off grid solar power system for my home. So if you know someone that wants a "cherry" 348 and one of only 2 ever made in Grigio Metalic, help a brother out.

James,

speaking of off grid, here is my vegetable garden I built myself. Everything is up out of the soil now including the Italian Spinach. Between the terrain of my property and the pet deer of Westlake, it was not your normal off grid garden. Power & Water are next, and I'm very serious about finding the very latest technology that is cost effective as well as efficient.

They would like you to believe that is true, but simple fact it is not. I had them come out 2 years ago and they wanted to cut down "all" my trees around the house for the rebate.

Being an Architectural Engineer who used to specialize in high rise contracting on the MEP side I have a little bit of knowledge of solar angles, azimuths, the like for calculating solar loads and proper "peak time". The city of Austin is "way" behind the technology in their assessment using only old conventional systems. Needless to say I was EXTREMELY disappointed.
