I took my CSVT over to Dallas Mustang to be dyno tuned yesterday. Archie over at DM does SCT tuning on their Dynojet and has a fair amount of experience on a variety of ford platforms. I learned he has been at it for 20+ years so while this was the first Contour he had tuned I was pretty comfortable with the car in his hands.
It was an overcast but warm Texas day (low 90s for the high) and rained later in the day. There were 8 total pulls and the car ended up putting down 191HP/188TQ on the final tune.
These number seem to be inline with what others are seeing with my mods, so I'm fairly happy. I won't lie, I was hoping for some dyno magic, but I'll settle for performing as expected.
The car was also having some surging at idle or coming off of WOT. Archie was able to sort this out, which makes the car much more drivable. I'll likely take the car out later today to put her to the test, as it was raining like crazy when I drove her home.
Here she is up on the rollers. It was an elevated dynojet using a lift.
