14 degrees is pretty retarded (no pun intended)...ask your tuner if he/she feels comfortable making the tune slightly more aggressive...say 16 or 17 degrees of timing

Mustang Dyno or DynoJet? For some reason (I'm not a dyno expert thus don't know why) Mustang Dyno's tend to read considerably lower than DynoJets. As polk said, what was the baseline using the same dyno - hopefully they did that, didn't they

Thanks guys.

It was a DynoJet. Since I'm a noOb with 4.6L and tuning, I assume by baseline you guys
mean he spun it before he made any tune adjustments?

woah...something is way wrong. I would expect MORE than 360rwhp from that setup if not more. You've basically done a laundry list of the rest of the mods i'm looking at...and I was hoping that would get me to 400 (currently at 350 without the intercooler upgrade, LFP stuff, and CAI...otherwise almost identical to you).

check the tune....or better yet....go to a more reputable tuner!

Are you by any chance using a diablosport predator to tune instead of SCT?

00 425 SALEEN

Evil,

Yeah I'm using the SCT X3. I went to Racers Edge Tuning because it was recommended to
me by Joe at Chicane. I'm gonna start with the basics like fuel filter and changing the gap to
.032-.035. I can't see me getting at least 65-70hp from that but its a start.

how many runs did they do? what was your a/f ratio?

post the dyno sheet and that will help.

Yellow Fever

Yes, that would be me. I've solved the problem I was having. I'm building a Stroker 4v fully
P/P heads,and the works. A Whipple 2.3 sit's atop this potent(and expensive) engine.

00 425 SALEEN

Yeah I remember you had the same problem. What was your fix? What were your final
numbers after the fix?

Yellow Fever

I did in fact take my car to a second tuner. He could not do any better than my
original tuner. So, that's all she wrote. My " FIX " was a $10,000.00 Completely built
Stroker 32v with a Whipple 2.3 . Hoping for better than 300RWHP...
My original numbers were off a Mustang Dyno 16* timing, 11.6 A/F reading with an outside
air temp of 70*, 2300ft above sea level. Perfect conditions for this.

Ok, did a little homework on the 00 Saleen. They stated back then it came with 350HP. How many miles on your engine? If the engine is in good condition, then it has to be in the tuning / mapping. Even without putting it on the dyno again to tune it, you want to see the temperatures, AFR and timing. This would give you a good indication of what is going on. Can you do that while driving around? You wouldn't even have to redline it, just under load at the lower RPMs would be a good start.

Does anyone have any info on another Saleen with some mods and how much power it made? I have dyno records of mine, but it's an 07 4.6L with a Magnacharger, Bassani Headers / Exhaust and that's it. It might be comparing apples and oranges...
