Dyno tune: Mustang or Dynojet

[orangestang2000]

I currently had my car tuned on a dynojet but i am soon to make many mods and just wondering what everyone thinks about a mustang dyno is it better?
There is a Mustang Dyno in Lafayette and i am thinking about going there to get re tuned.

Mustang dynos are better for tuning. Dynojets better for ego.

uh, either will be good for tuning, as long as u dyno in stock form first and duplicate the run conditions for the seconed (tuned) run. all it is is a number to go by...

Where is that dyno located? I never heard of it while I was at Purdue. I left West Lafayette in 2000. For tuning, either is just fine. However, if you want to see big numbers, the dynojet is the way to go. But that's just for ego.

I prefer dynojet for that very reason

How about a dynapack?

I may be getting dyno'd there... looks like they attach the dyno to your axle?
do numbers from this type of dyno have any respect or do people just call BS on them?

my car is being tuned on a mustang dyno, actually it might be done by now....

I will be posting my numbers when i get the sheet.... Anyone know how much lower the mustang dyno reads? I think i heard that 5spd gts make between 190-200 stock on the mustang dyno's
if thats the case I hope my longtubes and tune will put me at 230ish....w/ my other mods...we'll see

The dyno is at Autospecialties just off of teal road and 4th steet.

I agree with the ego thing. but either way you still do a conversion for lose through the drivetrain to get your fwhp.
i just bought a BAP throug kennebell are you using one and if so do you like it?

I had my 03 GT 5sp dynoed on a mustang dyno. I am completly stock and made 212.9HP and 258.1TQ. So you should probably make more than 230. Good luck. Let us know about the numbers.

i've heard that a dynojet chassis dyno is the most accurate.

 

[daver01]

have an appt in 2 wks to have mine done on mustang dyno. alsyr44's results are making me a bit nervous.

Depends on what "accurate" means. A Mustang Dyno will simulate actual weight of the car plus its aero/wind resistance which is more accurate if your car is actually going down the track or road, while a dyno jet doesnt do that.

Nervous how? I was given a formula which I would have to try and find again...but it was to convert to dynojet and it came out to 235/291.

 

[daver01]

just don't want to see it come up 235 hp & 265 tq after all the $ i have spent on this thing. let me know if u find the formula. might make me feel better anyway.

 

[alsyr44]

I did find the formula. I dont know who I got it from or if it is something that is widely accepted as accurate. But anyway....

((_/2017)+1)*_

So...My 212 for example

((212/2017)+1)*212
234

I think I said 235 before...oops. But I did that for HP and TQ. Again...it could be way off, I dont know. But it seemed to be about right with what other people had been dynoed with stock cars.
