Hmmmm... the guy that tuned my car said he thinks I have 3.08's. I definitely need to swap my gears.CanadaStang said:It would have been nice to see around 250 or so but as others have said, dyno's vary. In 96' 2.73's 3.08's and 3.27's were available as options. 3.27's weren't standard till the later years.

I'm pretty sure everything is installed correctly. And no, the heads aren't new, but they have been R&R'd and re-milled by fox lake. So, I'm thinking they SHOULD be ok. I guess I'll have a compression test done. I just hope I can get it up to 260 rwhp or so without having to spend a bunch more. I've spent too much already.stangGT97 said:i'm fairly certain 3.08s were paired with an auto transmission. As far as compression goes, you can have a shop run a leakdown test to check compression consistency across all 8 cylinders. If one or more is low, you may have a bad piston ring which would involve tearing into the shortblock. I'd say its a problem with the heads but they're brand new right? Also, what is the timing set at? And are you sure the cams were installed properly?
Hey man I was hoping that you would chime in. Yea, I've thought about these things, but it was dynoed at MD in Ohio, not WV. I'm not sure about the difference, but the day it was dynoed it was a pretty nice day, probably in the high 70's-low 80's, and wasn't TOO humid outside. I know that these things would make a difference, but I really think that it should still make atleast 255 rwhp, and if I could make at least that much power, I'd be happy. The good thing is that I compression test isn't that expensive from what I hear, and my boss's ex-husband and 2 sons work on race cars. She said I could go work on cars with them (including my car). So if it needs work, I would be able to do it myself. I already messaged Tim at MPH and told him what's going on, so I'll see what he has to say. Again, the passenger side cat converter is making a funny sound, I took a vid of it at idle and I'll have it up on here soon. I don't know if it would affect my power THAT much though.svttech76 said:OK time to rant a little..
2 things bug the crap out of me
1. dyno numbers/ track numbers with no weather data and altitude
2. People commenting on the numbers being high or low with no data to compare it to. How many times I have seen somebody from colorado post a 15.5 in a 99+ GT and give it 5 minutes and atleast one idiot will say.. " DUDE, gt's run 14.0 stock you suck at driving or your motor is gone"
How the hell do you expect to compare one car running 244 RWHP to another ran in another state at a different dyno running 270 RWHP..
Don't ya think weather and altitude have just a tiny bit of input on that.
How hot was it when you ran, what was the baro pressure hoiw about the humidity BTW how far above sea level is WV.
uncorrected numbers at the track or dyno is worthless for comparision.

take you ride else where.
AND WHY DID THEY SUT IT DOWN @ 5300RPM? See something is wrong, my car makes peak power @ 5500...I bet their dyno is screwed...as well as their tuning skills.
Oh yea SVT, elevation and weather are not important in N/A cars IF THE DYNO IS RUN IN SAE. The ones that get effected #s, are turbo cars @ high elevation...the SAE INFLATES THE #s HIGH on those apps. If his run was STD, then those would matter....
