(This might be long)
Alright, so after a couple delays with scheduling I got a couple parts upgrades and finally got the car tuned. Car is making exactly one pound less boost, but after tuning is much faster, pulls very hard!! Unsure if power was the same (at less boost) as it was after the intercooler change, because this new shop has a different dyno than what the cars always been tuned/tested on. Numbers follow, enjoy!
The car was always tuned on a Mustang Dyno, today it was done on DynoJet. Shop owner told me beforehand his dyno is a heartbreaker, people get higher numbers everywhere else. Gonna do this as a list, so it’s easier to follow (discussion after):
Mustang dyno:
1. When i first installed the Kenne Bell on stock block 476whp/412tq
2. Built a lower compression engine, added 2lbs of boost 469whp/410tq
DynoJet (today):
1. Base run 413whp/391tq (holy shiznit that’s bad, I thought to myself)
2. Added 130mm TB and replaced MAF with Cobra housing and sensor 455whp/419tq
3. Tuner tweaked it a bit 463whp/421tq
4. Last run, was beyond heat soaked at this point so we called it a day
Now, when i street tested it, it’s faster. Like quite a bit faster! Even heat soaked. So, I can’t complain, but I have questions. I understand that the dyno is simply a tool to see gains through upgrades and down tune things, but is there a way to compare the Mustang Dyno and DynoJet? Like 500hp on Mustang is equal to XXXhp on DynoJet?
In my head, I see the 56whp difference between dynos, and think I can add that to my old number to get what the Mustang Dyno would read today. So 463+56=519whp in my universe LOL.
Ass-dyno is all I really care about, and it’s good, but this seems like a fun discussion for the “smart” dudes in here
