Based on Jeremy's last dyno development results, I'm betting the headers add another 40whp, bringing him up from 440whp to 480whp. Knowing some other cars that have run on his low-reading dyno at that power level and what their track results were, I think we may have another N/A C63 in the 10's soon.

My car baselined (stock) on a Mustang dyno at 348 rwhp with 91 octane. Jeremy's baseline is more than that on 91 octane. And I would say Jeremy's baseline seems more realistic than mine. I can't imagine my car loses more than 20% to the rear wheels.

I have high hopes for Jeremy's car getting in the 10's. All the guys over on the east coast are putting up big 1/4 mile times. (Mthis, Dodger63, DadsC63, etc...) so we need someone to represent the west coast, and I think he is the man for the job.

Our first East coast track day for the new season is coming up, unfortunately this snow has kept us from testing new things. You West coast guys have the advantage on us this winter with that weather you guys have. Hopefully we should have some good weather on February 18. I look forward to meeting Jeremy and everyone else there, bring your jackets.

Assuming that the dyno operator is only trying to make the numbers as accurate as possible, the dyno results can be helpful.
I was having a real problem with the tune in my last car when I had a Vortech blower installed. I didn't know how bad of a problem it was until I put the car on the dyno and realized that the blower was only making 60 rwhp and 50 rwtq. That was my first clue that the tune was off by a long shot.
It's true that dynos can vary quite a bit, but we basically know what kind of power levels various mods make on the C63 platform.
In this case, with Gintani's new C63 headers, it will be vary interesting to see the power increase from the exhaust/tune setup.
Ultimately, we can't deny the fact that dynos are inconsistent from one shop to the next. But, when you have a dyno like Gintani's Dyno Dynamics showing very "normal" numbers for Jeremy's C63, you can look to the dyno numbers and have some idea about how fast the car will run.
Personally, I don't have the strongest urge to put my car on the dyno because it should make roughly the same power as any other 91-octane, OE-tune only car with ROW's and filters.
I'm just responding because I used to be all about the dyno numbers and admittedly, it was this forum and even you in a big way that influenced my current views on dynos, but I wouldn't feel comfortable walking into a Dyno Dynamics company headerquarters and telling them, "your tool is pointless."

^ well said. Another thing to keep in mind is dynos are just a tool to see if any changes in power has been made or lost when changing your setup(using the same dyno preferably on the same day). That's all I really care about using a dyno at least.
