Do I have a weak engine?
So I wanted to get baseline numbers so if I ever tune or do any other mods I can see how much I gained...the dyno was on a Mustang and it did 492 hp and 501 torque. I thought the number were right in line with what a stock 2016 E63S should be doing until I started doing some research. Apparently they're underrated and people are getting closed to 530hp at the wheels on a Mustang. What do you guys think?

Could be a number of things, I would think. Fuel quality, air temp/humidity, tire grip, wheel/rotor weight (maybe?), whether you used E/S/M mode, or Dyno mode, etc... other things to consider is how many stickers do those guys put on their cars? Remember those add 10hp each.

Dyno mode turns off the assists, like TCS, ESP, ABS, etc... basically anything that would interfere with power getting to the wheels while on the dyno. There are threads around here that explain how to enable Dyno mode. However, I don't know if anyone has confirmed a noticeable difference between the mode being on or off, so it might not matter.

Please consider a much needed upgrade to an E 350 or even E 400 if you could. Thank you in advance. .
