Yeah, as long as your A/F is okay then there isn't anything to worry about. [8D]

My point was if you get it on another dyno, it'll only make 250rwhp'ish. Those numbers are waaay out of whack for your mods.

Full bolt-on 2v's (while internally stock) will make 270rwhp.

ORIGINAL: Dan04COBRAInteresting. The only thing I'd believe from them is the A/F & not those numbers. Get it on another dyno and it'll make 250rwhp.
Just a tuning tool. Turbo mad did 6 dyno's, same day , same city and got 6 readings that varied up to 30whp which is a lot. Did you get the increase ontop of the SCT tune that came with it? That would be impressive. mark

Not only the hp.. but look at that torque... I agree with Dan.

You're right a dyno is just a tuning tool - however, if his is off, could you imagine if he was blown, and was teetering right on that line between safe and dangerous? That's not good for the dyno to be off...

If he dyno'ed 6 times and it ranged 30rwhp, it could have been due to heat soak, or heat soak stopping if it was cooled down enough... When I had my car dyno tuned (both gt and cobra) they had it on the dyno for 2-7 runs (some on the cobra were only 1/2 runs due to a/f) but it pretty much stayed the same (rwhp) maybe dropped a couple of hp due to heat- they were just working my A/F out...

WOW! I went to the dyno and had a custom tune i started with 251.1 hp and 298 FtLb after the tune i now have 267.8 Hp and 330 FtLb. I was just as shocked as the tuner with those numbers and the little amount of stuff i have done to my car.

well acualy the baseline 251hp was with my diablosport predator tuner but after that run we put my factory tune in and i got 254hp!so i said to hell with diablosport and got the sct. the stand tune from the sct jumped me up a little then they gave me the custom tune

1. What A/F did you end up with and with what octane fuel?
2. Was the increase on top of an SCT performance tune that came with the SCT?
3. Or was the SCT part of the dyno expense?
4. Do you know the total timing at WOT?
5. If the gains were on top of an already installed SCT tune then that is awesome, otherwise it is an expensive way to get 17WHP with the cost of the SCT and 2 dyno hours. Will you please provide some more details? Thanks
