Unlocking Power: Stock Bronco 2.7L & Raptor 3.0L Tuned - By Palm Beach Dyno

[TurboS]

22 minute video with really good dyno explanations.

"It’s time to put the twin-turbo Broncos on the dyno and see what tuning can really unlock! In this video, we tune both a stock 2.7L Bronco and a 3.0L Bronco Raptor to show what kind of gains are possible right out of the gate.

For the Bronco Raptor, we tested both 93 octane and an E30 blend—and even did a Dragy 0–60 run in 92-degree Florida heat at max power. The results? Impressive.
This is just the beginning. We plan to slowly build the Bronco Raptor over time with an upgraded intercooler, downpipes, fueling, and eventually bigger turbos and full E85."

Wonder why his initial, stock Braptor HP readings were well below the advertised 418hp of a stock vehicle?

Advertised 418 hp is at the crankshaft like all other manufactures advertised HP. This is a standard that all auto manufactures must adhere to in advertising HP.

Dyno he is using, as with all aftermarket dyno's, is referred to as "chassis dyno's" because the HP and Torque readings are at the point of contact on the tires. Therefore his dyno readings are after all drivetrain losses and is more accurate reading of available/usable HP and Torque. That's also why he did a stock baseline run to compare actual gains after modifications in the same environment.

Interesting, thanks for the clarification. I’m a total noob (as you may have guessed) at these kinds of nuances.

For the layman (people like me), it would be useful to know how these gains also translate to the performance numbers were likely most familiar with, the factory provided vehicle specs. My only experience here is with adding the ProCal tune and what it provided. I believe they simply speak to OEM HP numbers/gains rather than specifically at the tires via a chassis dyno measurement.

Your explanation certainly makes sense.

Thanks again.

Here is a few performance references in this thread below:

Dragy: 0-60 under 5 seconds?

4.82 seconds 0-60 mph using the industry standard 1 ft rollout mimicking drag track timing. Agreed, our Bronco Raptor's are not a paved road race car. However if you enjoy racing it's fun no matter what the ride is and if you've invested in any performance modifications the most reliable...
