Tell me about it. I'm deliberating whether or not, just for jollies, to get a Dynojet reading for comparison without any expectations. I need to stick to the Mustang Dyno for any future mods or retuning. Still waiting for Travis' input on the retune.

BTW, I just regapped my plugs down to .034-.035".
It was slightly wider (.038-.042). Couldn't really tell the difference after.
just a bunch of bruises and scratches on my hands and arms as a result.

I'll try to get a pull within the next couple of days if EIP Racing accomodates me.

I just want to be in the 300rwhp plus....list
Or maybe I am. I just don't know it.

I have pretty much the same mods as you and I ran a 310RWHP on a Dynojet and everyone told me that's about expected with my mods and heavy 19's. 15% less would yield the same numbers as your Mustang Dyno #'s.

Ideally, for a perfect tune, you could do the "LET Motorsports Remote Tuning Kit Rental", run it on the dyno and get it tuned with Jerry real time?

Thanks, I guess that should make me feel a lot better.
Somehow, the road leads down to some crossroads here, LET, PowerChip or Renntech.

Need to stay focused now. Bad economy, upside down mortgages, layoffs, etc.
Happy Holidays to ALL!!!

You're confirming that there's nothing wrong with his car, because your car posted a more favorable result (~45 whp) on a different dyno and you have the same mods? Just making sure I read that right.

Did LET put your car on a dyno? How did they do a mail order tune on this car? Being that its a one setup far from OEM. I'm kinda considering them but I'll be taking the car to NJ,CT,NY, etc.. or where ever they set up with a dyno. No tuning expert, just curious.

You've got to get some time slips to be in the club.

Any pictures of the setup? Sounds like a great car.

yes, same amount of power. But different numbers because of the dyno.
