Default went to the dyno

http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...nt=gouldie.flv

my car is a 2001 mustang gt with mac cai and flowmaster exhaust with 87500 miles

it was a mustang dyno but i was still dissapointed in the numbers
before tune
201 hp (cut rpms at about 4500 was still climbing)
240ft*lbs

aftere tune
226 hp @5000rpm
261ft*lbs @4200rpm

it was a club event and everyone was a little low. 05 gto only making 280hp, built 12 second dodge ram made 350 hp.

i was running low 14's before, and hopfully i can break into the 13's with the extra power

Those numbers sound about right especially for a Mustang Dyno. Don't be mad at all. If you were blown or had nitrous and only put down 226 I would be pissed

WOW I thought our cars made more HP than that... Kinda sad truthfully.. [&:] but at least you gained like 20+ hp just from a tune!

Is your car an auto?
A stock 5 speed GT will be 225 at the wheels.

nope it's a 5 speed. i think the dyno was just reading lower than it should have, my friend with the 05 gto got dynoed last year at 290hp, he then added a cai and h pipe and lost 10 hp from last year.

figuring 15% driveline loss that puts his engine at 320 hp, they're rated at 350 at the crank.

i was run 14.1's on street tires which is about right for a stock convertable. unless i'm an amazing driver, which i'm not, i dont think that would be possible for a 200hp convertable

As Code's post said last week. A dyno is a tool, the overall number does not matter. What matters is that when you left you were making 10% more power. The peak number varies greatly from dyno to dyno. If the dyno said you had 400HP would you be happier?
