you dont get power from gears but you will fell a big differnce. with a dyno tune, what mods do you have now because it would be pointless for a dyno tune without any other mods

Are you sure it's 260 Rwhp? I thought that was at the crank? Unless there's something I didn't know about a PI swap in the non-new edge?

New edges have 260 hp at the crank, stock. To the wheels, it's much less.

yeah w/ those mods it seems odd that you would be making 260 at the wheels...most of what you listed shouldn't put you higher than a stock 99-04 which is like 230ish at the wheels

A PI swappes car should put down about 240-ish to the wheels. And to the OP, you should definetly have had it tuned already. It's really dangerous to drive around PI swapped without a tune.

I do know a stock 99-04 puts down exactly 231 RWHP, but im my stang i smoke those things pretty bad (lightly modded one's). Actually i put down 260RWHP with my DIRTY K&N filter and some messed up mufflers... And i actually bought the car modded already (previous owner was getting it ready for a supercharger). Before the tune i did not even know that i had a pi swap, people at the Dyno told me about it. But the motor looks bone stock with the exception of CAI and bullitt throttle body...

I didnt mention it but i do have a Diablo Tune (if that helps anything). But really thanx, i was not aware of that. Good thing the stang is only my weekend driver, but it seems to run fine, rpm's are a bit high for it but everything else is fine. Is it fine for a mustang to run at 2500 rpm at 70 mph in 5th? (but then again the tranny was swapped)
Gotta do the tune ASAP now
