Default Follow Up! BACK FROM DYNO!!!!

As stated before in my previous post
https://mustangforums.com/forum/4-6-...edictions.html
i had my car dyno tuned on Friday at Houston Performance(Awsome Place)
Mods To the Car are
BBK 78mm intake plenum
Bassani Catted X Pipe
"Catback"
MSD Coil Backs
Circle D 3200 Torque Converter
Trans Cooler
Houston Performance Cams(.53lift 292 total duration 114 lsa) Cam Sounds Good!

When I showed up the car was rich and the base tune managed 250 rwhp and 260rwtq after about an hour MY FINAL NUMBERS ARE 263 RWHP and 282.53 RWTQ!
Thats a gain of 13rwhp and 22.53rwtq increase just from the tune! Every 1 needs a tune!

what do u guys think. I didnt make what i wanted in torque but the car runs good now! What do you guys think?

Seems good to me. Auto's do funny things to the torque sometimes.

why do you guys say that autos do funny things to torque? Houston Performance told me that if i had a 5 speed i would have put out about 295rwhp maybe..... Im kinda wondering what would happen if I would have some long tubes.

The locking of the torque converter can give some erratic torque readings. Longtubes should be your next mod along with a re-tune.
