Guess some of us got lucky, huh

i might just cam it then. maybe some stage IIs or something i'll have to do more research into cams. I really dont want any worse gas mileage than i'm getting now thats the thing.
Sounds like the dyno used was the lucky part of the equation. You would be lucky to get 245 at all the shops around here.

yea, your right. Modular powerhouse is known for using cheap equipment and poor dynos.










there are quite a few ppl on here making the same numbers with those same mods.

I would def. get LTs before thinking about a dyno then it is still iffy. I would wait until you do something big (cams, heads, nitrous, f/i) then get it dyno tuned.

Yea your right. 99% of the people without headers are making 260

/sarcasm. Again, I would bet it was a lucky dyno day.. which mens absolutely jack anyways. Real world track numbers are your real indication.

real world track is 13.5 on a not so good track with 100 + octane.
i drove 100 miles in 90 degree weather ...hardly a lucky dyno day. no reason to be angry bro..some of us just have better tuning and sense.

alright then i'll just skip on the dyno.
i'll just get thetune from Modular powerhouse that they upload for 70 bucks. the tune that mustangs unlimited in atlanta GA gives you sucks ***. You cant modify it at all and i have a 1000 mile trip to go on soon and i'd like to run 87 octane while still having my gears compensated for. i'd also like to finally set up my 2 step rev limiter!

Thats about where you should be.. if you had headers you would be 13.3s or better with good tires. U can hit 13.0s-12.9s with full bolt ons and some sticky tires... again..I highly doubt your at 260 lol especially without a proper dyno tune.

And why would you use 100+ octane.. if you dont have a dyno yet your not taking advantage of the octane. just a pointer.

And im not angry.. I think its hilarious your so defensive about it. And better tuning? LOL you have a mail order tune dude.. dont blow your wad.

In my case i put down 259/297 before my long tubes and custom dyno tune. I had a canned SCT tune at the time.

You have an npi bottom end though.. compression is FTW

N j dont get me wrong im not talkin **** about the dyno..im just saying poll every bolt on GT on this site and 99% will be +/- 5hp of eachother. I would just take your dyno numbers with a grain of salt..
