Do you have any wideband reading to go with it?

What was the fuel pressure at?

Did they tune before or after dyno run?

Mustang dyno #'s are genrally 15%-20% less than a dynojet. They are very real world accuret.

On dyno jet it would show around 300-320 hp
and 370-375 tq

Dyno numbers look nice, how is it to drive? Kick in the ass, capable of defending itself? Sounds like it to me! Nice car!

thanks guys. yeah it is very strong for what it is. the guy did do a before and after. i got 10 more hp and 15 more torque. the car was really rich before hand and he fixed all that crap. he uses "sniper" for programming i never heard of it before but i guess it does the job

I definitely wouldn't worry about it. Like stated, Mustang dynos are lower than others, and you generally only see 10-15 hp more than what you made out of a trick flow kit on a dynojet.

Personally i still think the numbers are a tad low. Even on a dynojet you would still be just under 300rwhp. I think a better MAF and some better tuning you would easily see 300rwhp. good luck man...sounds like a fun car anyways.

Haha nevermind i just saw the fact that you are running a TKO600 too. That eats up the whole amount of power that i thought you were missing. Bigger/beefier parts in a trans are harder to spin...and that TKO sucks up about 4-6% more power than a t-5.

Numbers are good on a mustang dyno.
Although i agree a better maf would help.

Sniper stuff is good, it's just not as widely used. Sounds like you had the computer programmed, which was probably a waste of money. A h/c/i mustang benefits very little from a computer tweak.

Shortthrow,
That afr info has absolutely nothing in common with your situation.

That car has an automatic transmission according to the data.
You have a 5 speed, it's hard to compare.
Your car is probably right around where it should be, i wouldn't worry.
