It was on a Mustang dyno and most SRT guys like the Dynojets, so I don't have too much to compare my numbers to but they seem to be on par. No graphs to post either, they just gave me printouts which I might scan or take pic's of later to post but we'll see. Anyhow, it made 333hp and 325tq. I wasn't overly happy with that but I wasn't dissapointed either...it's about what I expected. AFR hits 11.5 at its highest point and this is all on 20psi so I've got plenty of power left if I ever want it. On a Dynojet I'd still expect somewhere around 380 - 390 ish.

Nice numbers. A dynojet, I thought there was only like a 10% difference.:shrug:

I'm not really sure. The guys I went with ranged from 214hp to 511hp and all of them said they were down between 12% and 14% from their previous dynos. The one guy who got 511hp had a whipplecharged '04 Cobra and was pissed about it because his last dyno was 595hp, but it was on a Dynojet. Who knows. I do know the dyno I was on is calibrated quite often, so it's accurate. But I know it has a reputation in the area for being a hard dyno to get good numbers on. Who knows. I know my car moves out alright, so I'm over it.

Every dyno is diff...my numbers for my 3L seemed very low, but the car performs around the 200whp mark.

Nice numbers regardless :o

Dynos are only usefull for tuning. If you want to know how fast your car is take it to the track.

Just know that you have to keep using the same type of dyno now for a good comparison when you do future dynos.
Still, sounds like plenty of good power to me!

I know dyno numbers are only numbers. I should be able to get into the 11s as long as I don't break anything, and that shouldn't be an issue. And I know I need to stay on the same dyno, and that's fine. The place I had it done is owned by a friend of mine so he gives me a pretty good deal. $50 for 3 pulls w/ any readings (AFR, boost, etc.) I need.

I put down about 10 hp more on a dynojet than a mustang dyno if that gives you an idea.

I still think it has more to do with each individual dyno. I suppose I could get on a Dynojet and see. But the guys who were there with me put down way more than 10hp more.

Don't forget, dynojet's been around a long time. Some people will go to the dyno's that make the "Most HP" even if they aren't accurate.
I'd expect that there are quite a few shops that make some money with inflated dyno's just to keep the business up.
That's why I dyno'd on 4 different dyno's in four different states, lol.

Ha, yea I know. And like someone already said they're just numbers to compare myself to later and that's about all they're good for.
