Talking Dynoed My Car on Saturday

I went to 98 Rock Fest in Tampa with one of my friends this past Friday and he told me that a buddy of his owns a dyno and tuning shop. Currently his dyno pulls are pretty cheap right now since they just opened up a few months ago. So I decided to get my car dynoed. 3 pulls for $30. Not a bad price. The place is called Proven Power and their website is www.provenpowertampa.com.

Here are the results. The ambient air was 92 degrees, so it was pretty hot out.



I was hoping for over 300 rwhp, but I am happy with the 293. He said my car was running a little rich. He said that he typically shoots for a A/F ratio of 13.5 for NA cars and 12.0 for FI cars. He said I could gain a few hp buy changing the tune to run a little leaner.

So far everyone I talked to was pretty impressed with those numbers. See my sig below for mods. The only engine upgrades are a JLT CAI and a tune from Bamachips (93 Performance).

What do you guys think?

dude they must have finally gotten their **** together. Its funny how they told me their $30 deal was only for the opening day. Maybe Ill take my car in for another pull and compare to their last pull, which resulted in 245hp...

lets just say I was not happy with them at all.

98 rockfest must have been fun. I was mad I missed it.

Well, I know a guy who knows a guy. Also, long story short, the guy who owns the place's roommate cost me $150 for a set of new keys for the stang so he let me pull for cheap.

Sorry about the bad experience. I had a blast!

Glad they got their act together too. Congrats on the numbers. I'll never go back there though. As far as I'm concerned, they owe me $30! They "dynoed" my car and told me it was making 237 hp (after their first pull on my car showed 345, which is obvisously too high. Ended up having a custom tune done at S&R Performance in Tampa, which resulted in the numbers in my sig
