Lidio AA Shop Tour & SC 3.0 Dyno Tune

[Glenn]

I took the MM last week to Lidio's new AA Ford Performance shop in Northern Detroit. Lidio did a custom 3.0 Pulley tune on my Trilogy SC as well as some other Lidio tricks for SSHS7. The results were 419 RWHP and 416 RWTQ at 12# boost. Car runs very strong with a big increase in torque that is really noticeable. 1st to second shift at WOT just rips the 295 Nittos unreal. So bad that Lidio had to get off it to get traction back. Car had never run stronger. See video clip on a shop tour and the MM Dyno. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/56ff3652-4923-411a-b41a-999c000f8c38.htm

Lidio has a truly great looking and functional new shop with some amazing cars. A silver GT with a GT500 5.4!!!! Three yellow Cobra convertibles, Wipple TS SC being installed on a 3 valve GT, 4 differrent year Cobras being worked on, etc. He's the man.

More pictures of the Lidio Magic Kingdom. Lidio personal Mustang GT ride with big chrome wheels and tires and dark tint and a SC of course, Twin yellow Cobra Convertibles and that lone black Sedan again. (How many different Yellow Cobra covertibles did you see in these posts. Two - wrong, three.) A view of the front of the shop and a shot of AA's front door.

Congratulations Glenn, some great numbers!!!:bows: Is your tranny stock or modified? You mentioned a tire ripping 1-2 shift, my car's 1-2 shift is very mediocre, just wondering how you did it?

[Glenn]

Trans is now modified by Lidio and then tuned for a harder 1-2 shift for the 1/4 mile, but the real improvement is in the increased torque which occurs along with the increased HP. The 295s just cannot handle the combined HP and Torque at WOT and full boost, but the new 305s DRs will be up to the improved tune.

I had the accumulator spring kit Lidio sells installed and Lidio personally set my line pressure as high as possible, still a soft shift, what was done to your tranny???

[Glenn]

The torque is the main difference: 416 vs. 375 RWTQ. The increased torque is very noticable after the tune.

[Smokie]

I know the torque difference is huge, the shift is soft because the tranny is being overpowered by the engine, my 2-3 shift is neck breaking, 1-2 is soft S/C, when I was N/A the 1-2 shift was rock hard and I get a chirp, after S/Cing 1-2 is soft, not from lack of torque, tranny slips.

If the temp is below 50* better look for something other than the Nitto DR to get traction.

[Glenn]

Not Nittos!
