I had my car dyno'ed last month with these mods:
1994 Stock Block 5.0
1989 Mustang Forged Pistons - Notched for 185's
1.6 Roller Rockers
TFS Stage 1 Cam
Explorer Intake
C&L 76MM MAF & Pipe
Pro Products 70MM Throttle Body
MSD 6AL
24LB. Injectors
Longtube headers & off-road H
On a MustangDyno, the car made 285RWHP@5500RPM & 325RWTQ@4275RPM with a "safe" tune by a well known, reputable Tuner.
I was told by many people that my unported Exploder intake may have cost me a few top end RWHP, and I found a great deal on a TFS Street Heat, so I went ahead and put it in. I also added a Meziere Electric Water Pump for good measure.
Today the Car dyno'ed 274RWHP@5180RPM & 322RWTQ@4200RPM. The tune made the car alot smoother, and it was definitely worth the re-tune after the Mods. but the #'s are lower than before.
My question for all the experts is this. The guys at the shop where I got the car tuned said that since my first Tune, they had changed the program & calibration on the Mustang dyno, and the numbers were lower today by about 5%, maybe a little more. Does this mean that my combo is actually making a little more than what the latest numbers indicate? Is there a chance that a little something was left on the table, or should I just take the car to a different shop with a DynoJet to get "bragging" numbers.
Like I said before, I am happy with the results, and will take it to the track tomorrow, to see what it does. I just want to make sure there isn't something I can change to get over the 300 mark. A custom cam will do it, but any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance
