I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere on these boards, But has anyone dyno'd their stock Mustang GT to see what exactly they put out? Factory states 260 but I believe its less. :notnice:
 
* PLEASE NOTE......THIS WAS ON A MUSTANG DYNO, WHICH READS LOWER THAN DYNOJETS*


i had this dyno done with 732 miles on it, & had it just the way the dealer delivered it. it dyno'd 208.4 hp & 246.1 tq. if you add 30% (which is what you need to add instead of the 15% - 20% to that you do with dynojets), you will come up with my flywheel numbers - 270.92 hp & 319.93 tq :nice:


if you need me to explain why there is a difference between the two dyno's, i will be happy to :nice:

alrighty.... here's a quick run down. a mustang dyno is actually a better tuning instrument "IMO". the reason being they use your vechicles weight to factor in the enertia that your car is pushing against on the rollers. this is closer to real world horsepower, because of that.

a dynojet has a set enertia for every car that gets strapped to the rollers, usually about 2000 lbs, which actually causes it to give a slightly higher reading. than if they would factor in the cars weight :nice: hope that made sense

This sounds similar to the net horsepower calculated by the G-tech performance meter. The net horsepower is based upon the accelaration and weight of the vehicle. After running 0-60 mph in 6.158 seconds in my stock 2001 GT, the G-tech calculated my net horsepower to be 199.6 hp @ 4551 rpm and torque to be 244.2 ft-lbs @ 4216 rpm. I calculated the weight of my convertible to be 3770 lbs.
 
when i was at brothers performance getting my dyno done they said the stock GT's were dynoing around 220hp. they have a dynojet dyno. i dunno how many they dyno'd and i didn't see any of em, that's just what they were telling me.
 
My stang dynoed 227 rwhp and 263 rwtq on dynojet. Graph in site in sig :)

I have a little question though. You say Mustang Dyno uses weight to calculate the real world hp numbers. So does that mean if I stripped everything off from the car and went from 3000 to 2500, I will see higher numbers? I'm a little confused :scratch:
