Nice #'s. Your car might be a factory freak.
If you can get ahold of some sunocco 104 or VP MS109, it is oxygented and will add some power even without a tune. They are also unleaded so no worries. The sunocco goes for $6 a gallon if I buy a 55 gallon drum, and will last over a year if you keep it sealed. You can also buy 5 gallon drums for about $40 if you just want to test it out. I pick mine up in TX, you'll have to find a dealer in your area.

Yeah, I got a 389 max hp on the same brand dyno with my Kleemann K2 tune, so your numbers sound very high. What weight did you use in the config?
However, I was not in dyno mode, and I hear that not being in dyno mode can rob up to 60-70 rwhp. Also, I was in manual mode and perhaps I should have been in S mode. I've done all my engine break-in after the tune in S mode, and rarely drive in M mode. So I'll be on the dyno again in a a couple of weeks.

Thanks, Andy.
So in other words, if Jeffield wasn't as good looking as he is, his car would have posted even lower numbers! Wow!
Oh, wait a sec, you mean the octane difference. Okay, so if he had put in 94 octane like I did, his numbers would have been closer if not identical to mine. But what would account for the fact that other stock C63s that have dynoed on that machine (at Miller Performance in Abbotsford, BC) also show numbers closer to Jeffield's rather than mine?
Jeffield's car is a few months older than mine, or perhaps I should say that he has more clicks on his odometer than I do on mine. I'm at about 7,200 kilometres right now.
Oh well, I'm not interested in having the most powerful C63 around. I just thought it would be good to get some insight from folks who are more experienced than I am about these things.

Jeffield's numbers sound about right for a C63 on 91 octane on a Mustang Dyno. I wouldn't worry if I was him.

Every car is different to an extent, maybe you have a Wednesday ride.

Gosh, I've got this warm fuzzy feeling inside right now. LOL
