Just got 4.10's + SCT dyno tune...
I recently bought a bone-stock 2000 Mustang GT.
As a first mod, I got 4.10 gears put in (just today) and a dyno tune with the SCT X-cal II that I purchased. Other than that the car has no other mods.
My dyno tune was done with 89 octance gas, my RW hp/tq results are as follows
Before: 222.8 / 261.2
After: 230.2 / 268.8
Did I pull OK numbers for a 60K mile 4.6 ?
Also the shop offered for me to come in running a tank of 92 octance and they would do a free pull/tune with that, saying they'd expect about another 4-5 hp gain. I'm not sure about how my numbers right now are, but I'm really happy with the tune since I gained from 4-8 HP EVERYWHERE on the curve (no crossover at all), and my A/F ratio was also reduced meaning a gain in mileage.
I am also very happy with the gears, the car now drives like it SHOULD, revs on the highway are no problem, from 2100-2500 at typical highway speeds.

i think your #s look average, you have a 5 spd right?

Yes I have a 5 speed.
Thanks, average is all I was really looking for since I don't have any mods.

i've seen stock GTs with just catback pull about 224RWHP. i don't think running on 92 octane would be worth the extra 5RWHP.
