Default When to dyno?

Igot a 2011 3.7 v6 Mustang manual. I replaced the factory catback with 40 series flowmaster and installed a airaid cool air intake and put firestone performance tires and sct excaliber programer set by bama for 91octain performance. Is it worth putting it through the stress of a dyno test.

I know that the 11 6ers are a beast (never thought i would say that about a V-6 mustang) but I would reccomend you add a few more mod's before you get her dynoed tune. Any pics?

I paid $80 for 4 pulls and A/F Ratio was included. Maybe Headers and X-Pipe cost is not much.

Dynos are really only meant for tuning HEAVILY modified vehicles and for bragging rights(numbers).


You don't have to get a dyno, but it's always a good idea to dyno the car stock, install the parts you wanted to install and go back to the same dyno and see the gains. With your modifications, a dyno tune is unnecessary, but if you wanted a real-world number/graph of the power your car is making, I say go for it!
