After Googling a little, it appears that others are confused by the Dynapack, as well. Now that I've read some things, I think they may be applying a correction factor to estimate flywheel HP. Not sure

I've always used Mustang and Dynojets - never come across a Dynapack.

It would really help if you can dyno the car on a dynojet or dyno dynamics so we can compare them to the other graphs posted on here. Dynojet is more popular, but I remember there were a couple of graphs here from dyno dynamics as well.

That's correct. You can see the correction factor was set to 1, which means that it was displaying the actual RWHP and RWTQ, corrected for SAE.

Dynapaks are one of the greatest tuning dynos out there because of the sheer resolution they have. You can measure tiny changes that are imperceptible to other setups.

With that said, the dyno operator's experience and methods come into play more than most would like to admit.

I would opine that the sampling started far too late for your car.

Please inquire what the load setting was for the run. In my experience, a 5% load works well for real-world tuning on a Dyno Dynamics, a bit less on a Dynapak.

I unfortunately don't have another to compare to.

In response to the remainder of the posts, I have not been able to track the car yet but am hoping to soon. I could get another dyno done on a dyno jet but before I drop 100 bucks on something, I wanted to see if the datalogger would help.

I did check the IAT while doing a few good runs and they went no higher than 120.

What I was hoping for was to get a good picture of how things were working with the data logger but am still figuring out what to look for. I am doing another run tonight so will try and post some findings...of what, I am not sure yet but something is better than nothing.

Attached are the results of a data log from a short run I did tonight. Any thoughts?

David, whatever you are using to log data does not have a good log rate.

Where are you located?

I am using AutoEnginuity's data logger, and I will check and see if there is a way to up the log rate. The refresh rate may be limited by the bandwidth of ODBII though and since it is monitoring so many things. I could limit the monitoring and possibly increase the refresh rate if I knew what specifically to monitor.

I am in Northern VA....unfortunately not in SoCal...which is where a lot of the guru's and perf shops are that are familiar with this car.

I would monitor IATs, coolant, advance, and MAP.
