Finally got my 03 dynoed and tuned

1StockGT · March 23rd, 2006, 01:44 AM

Over the weekend I got over to Steen and had Ed Clark put a tune on my car. The outcome was 254rwhp and 290rwtq. From what I understand the numbers aren't too shabby for an N/A car with just bolt ons.

It's always fun to go an dyno your stuff.
I need to go to Steen so I can compare the results to my DTP dyno.

1StockGT · March 23rd, 2006, 08:11 AM

I was trying to let you know that day I seen you, that they were having a dyno day this past saturday. $40 for 3 pulls with a/f. I don't know if you know or not, but there's been alot of controversy on TWR with the DTP dyno.

L33T · March 23rd, 2006, 08:13 AM

Yeah I heard a little bit about it from Mustang232. That's why I'm so interested in getting another SAE 'opinion'

Until I have some other numbers I can't change my sig though. =P

It's the only way to truely know what your car is putting down. You should be able to take it to a dyno and have someone tune your X-Cal. I know when I got mine tuned there was another guy there with an X-Cal on his car. I just have an SCT 4bank chip in mine.

Roadhawg · March 23rd, 2006, 01:16 PM

I have an XCAL2 and my Mustang was Dyno tuned at Steen by Ed Clark.
I'm putting down 221rwhp and 326 rwtq on my V6 with a M90.

xx9gt6xx · March 23rd, 2006, 04:35 PM

So how much are we talking to take my X-CAL 1 unit in and have them throw it on the dyno to get the tune right?

when Ed tuned at SMS it was dyno time + $100 for the tune... Ed is the man!

1StockGT · March 23rd, 2006, 09:26 PM

I agree Ed is the man.... As far as the dyno time at Steen it was $175 for the dyno time and Ed's time. I guess it just depends on the going rate where you're at.

Okay just so you know, the chip isn't worthless. It does help having the car chipped before you get a dyno. They both do different things and they both go hand in hand with each other at the same time.

But anyway those are good numbers for a N/A car with a few bolt ons! Have fun! Doesn't having numbers just make you feel good inside!?

DILO2001GT · March 24th, 2006, 08:33 PM

ehhh dynos are only good for tuning. numbers mean nothing unless your bragging. only numbers that truely matter are at the bottom of a timeslip. still though those numbers are pretty good from what i have seen....

a stock 04 last weekend just put down 211 on a dynojet though it was an automatic. right after put a 05 GT on and put down 279.6. a mustang dyno woulda been a bit lower.

1StockGT · March 25th, 2006, 01:07 AM

It is nice to know what the car is putting down. I also found out before the tune the car was running lean in the upper rpms, and Ed said that it can cause the motor to spark knock. That would be a bad thing, so I'm glad I got the taken care of. Dilio you are 100% correct. Dyno numbers mean nothing, it what you run on the track. The dyno is just a method of tuning that car to get the most out of it safely. I plan on hitting the track this season to see what kind of numbers I'll put up.

kbstang · March 28th, 2006, 02:25 PM

what bolt ons do you have stockgt? if you dont want to post them on here you can pm them to me if youd like.

1StockGT · March 30th, 2006, 01:24 AM

I have a jlt cai, accufab upper intake manif and 75mm t/b, steeda u/d pulleys, bassani o/r x-pipe, mac cat back, frpp 4.10, hypertech 160* t-stat, sct 4-bank chip and an Ed Clark tune.
