Default Is This Right

i just took my car to get tuned on the dyno ( Mustang Dynometer) and i started with a base line of 218HP and 262ft-lbs of torque on my 2001 Auto GT with the mods in my signature with 11 to 1 air to fuel ratio. At the end of the tuning with the predator i ended up with 223HP and 256ft-lbs of torque with a 14 to 1 air to fuel ratio. i dont think this is right but mabe i am just wanting to much. He did say on a dyno Jet that I would have probably had more like 243-245 HP.look below and tell me if this seems right or if i should have someone else tune it. the first one the red one was after he was done tuning. The second on in the Green was the baseline before anything was done.

Thats a decent number for a Mustang dyno. Your AFR is a little rich. You need to try and get it between 13.0 and 13.5 on a NA application.

EDIT: Just noticed that you now have a 14.0 AFR with the pred. tune. Thats okay but 13.0 to 13.5 is a little safer. I had all the mods you had + a densecharger CAI and timing adjusted through a chip and I dyno'd on a dyno jet at 276 and 325 and after the 4.10's I dyno'd at 260 and 300 even.

Yeah. The power is still there but when you add steeper gears you dyno a little less. I cant remember the exact explanation.

Cars. Who can figure them out. Anyway, mustang dynos always put down lower numbers then dyno jets. No one can explain why but it always happens. So you probally have a few more hp then that. If you want an exact number then get it dynoed on a dyno jet.

i can explain why. its cuz mustang dynometers place resistance on the rollers to simulate the actual vehicle wait

is it me or do the AFR's look way to lean? from what the graph says, it never dropped lower than a 15.3 until it dropped off. that just doesn't seem right to me.. my car has never been that lean. even when i had it tuned back in the day before the internal work. 11.0's sound right for the mods on the baseline, but the 15+ AFR's just seem to high. like JD said, average or ideal AFR's will sit in the 13's. i understand that its not a F/I setup, but damn... maybe its just me.?.?

I think the dyno that you were/are using is screwed up. I was quoting from your numbers (on the GT) when I talked to MPH about my cams not making the power I wanted. He litereally laughed at me when I told him you were making 276. MPH is one of the premier modular shops in the country.

Also, I find it extremly hard to belive you lost 25 FT/Lb going from 3.27s to 4.10s, that just doesn't make since. Sure you lose a little power, but that is a crapton.

Something is screwed up or was with the dyno you used. And in any case 325 FT/Lb is just unreal in a bolt on only GT. 370 FT/LB at the crank????
