Default 2012 5.0 on the dyno

So i put my car on the dyno yesterday to get a sort of baseline before i really do anything to it. I was a little disappointed in the results, but hey, you always hope for more right? Dyno was at Z1 motorsports in Carrollton, GA. Really cool bunch of guys work there. Only mods to the car thus far are a roush axelback and a JLT catch can. Here's a short vid, this run was in 4th, we tried 5th but it pegged the speed limiter.




and the dyno sheet



This was on a Dynojet dyno. The outside temp was 89 degrees with 60% humidty, which could explain the lowish numbers.

A dyno is really only good to measure a car against itself. Don't worry about the numbers. Your car could read 30hp higher or 30hp lower depending on the dyno and calibration. Frankly, a dyno can read whatever they want it to read based on the configurations.

Use it as a tool to measure the worth of your modifications, as well as the quality of your tune.
