Default Custom Dyno Tune Results (Dyno Sheet Attached)

Some of you may have read my post a while back after I got my car dyno'd and only put down 265 rwhp and 267 rwtq (with quite a few bolt ons). I was also running lean at 13.6. Here is the post:

Well, I got a custom dyno tune today and managed to put down 284 rwhp and 305 rwtq with the exact same mods (and a nice 13.0 A/F). As they always say, different day, different dyno, so who knows, but I am definitely much happier with these results. I think this is about where I should be with an automatic. I would have loved to been one of the automatics that puts down in the 290s with these mods, but after that initial scare, I will take what I've got.

Here is the mod list again:
C&L Cold Air Intake
American Racing Longtube Headers & Catted H-Pipe
Borla Stingers
Steeda Underdrive Pulleys
FRPP 3.73 Gears
Custom Dyno Tune

It was about 90 degrees when I got the first dyno and about 80 when I got the second. These numbers were all SAE corrected, but I've been told it can still have an effect, so that might have made up some of the difference. Some also thought the first dyno run might have been done incorrectly, which I was never able to confirm, so again this could be an explanation for the large difference. Whatever the case, I can definitely feel a difference, and nothing can replace that peace of mind I now feel that the car is tuned the safe and best way.

Very nice. Your numbers are pretty much dead on now with the mods you have. A/F is dead on too.

looks great....however after looking at your sheet, I do have a question...do you know if the dyno guy...locked you out in 4th or did he do the run in 3rd...the reason I ask is he would have to had put in a tune that locks you into 4th gear (Drive without OD and no downshifting) ...or by the looks of the smooth line (No drop in the graph) he tested you in 3rd....otherwise if he did in 4th with O/D turned off yet not locked into 4th only you would see a drop in the graph early on (The car downshifting) just curious..did he lock you in 4th? or did he run in 3rd..

The first thing to look for on a dyno run for NA cars is, do the HP and Torque curves cross at 5250 RPM. If they don't you've got some problems with the way the dyno was set up. I've had mine done at two seperate places, and the curves were a joke. You know what they say about arguing with idiots. There is only one more dyno shop here in the area (next closest is 200+ miles away) Maybe shop #3 knows what he is doing. I haven't felt like spinning the wheel of fortune to find out yet.javascript:void(AddText('[:@]'))

The second set of curves looks great!javascript:void(AddText(''))

Gears have 0 impact on HP.

As to the difference between yours and his, different dyno different results.

Ive been on a dyno-jet and put down 465 hp 494 torque
And on a mustang dyno put down 412 hp 445 torque (both on spray of course!)

I know for a fact my car is nowhere near the dyno-jet numbers, but they are nice to see!

It all comes down to different dyno different day, thats it.
