Well, there goes my car.

Damn you Dave!! You freaked me out!!

I am feeling 430rwtq/405rwhp lets hope it happens.

 

[emagdnim]

400/400

 

[ms93gt]

Ehh I dunno about the 400 mark. You only have an A trim and it's going to be overspun really bad. It prob already is. I say 390.

 

[mustangillusion]

380hp/395tq is going to take it home baby...

 

[mustangillusion]

so how much does a dyno tune set you back?

Less than most others. I've already got the chip and base tune from previous work, and I get discount rates from the tuner because the shop is a sponsor of my Mustang club.

I'll be pissed if it only reaches the lower numbers some of you said

 

[poneypower89]

387HP/ 375FTTQ

I dunno what the A-trim tops out at

So Im just throwing a wild guess out there...

 

[89white50]

390whp, 385rwtq. Where atre you going to get it tuned? if you dont mind me asking. My club goes to DEZ Racing since he's our sponsor, just wondernig whats out there in western MA.

XX Tuning in East Hartford. About 25 minutes from Springfield. The tuner in question attended SCT training classes down in FL, most of the guys around here won't let anyone else touch their cars except him.

The A trim can get up to 10 or 12 pounds, but that's with a stepped-up crank pulley. I left mine "A-trim stock" because I didn't want to REALLY push it. But I surprised lots of people with the 300 with basically just the smaller blower pulley, so who knows. I figure the heads, rockers, powerpipe and bigger MAF are worth a bit more than 50RWHP

Ok dave let me ask you this way...what would it cost the average Joe that has never had tuning before?

 

[Ozz]

Depends on a few things. Mostly the going rate at the shop of your choice and what year car you're tuning, along with whatever equipment you need (chip, flip-chip with multiple tunes for a modular motor), X-cal, etc.). Plus however many pulls on the dyno you need for them to straighten things out, although some places just figure that all into hourly rates. I know the top shops here charge $150-200/hour for custom tuning and dyno time for anyone walking in off the street.

It all varies wherever you go and by what you need done. If you haven't got enough stuff done to the car I wouldn't even worry about it. What's done on it?

 

[the pony boy]

392/382

 

[poneypower89]

Maybe I missed the info... but when are we gonna know the numbers anyways?

 

[Ozz]

Tomorrow afternoon

 

[mustangillusion]

So Doc, whats the vedict?

 

[Ozz]

Ran into a snafu - be done tomorrow.

 

[Ozz]

well it's done but no full-WOT pull to the high RPMs due to some electrical issue.

 

[Flavadave4]

383/376

 

[mustangillusion]

So what now? Are you going to fix it and take it back?
