I'm honestly not trying to call shenanigans here, just trying to understand something. I thought Mustang dynos usually produce lower numbers than dynojets? If this is so, than most Z06's with LT's, exhaust, tune, and intake don't produce 400rwhp. So shouldn't the OP's numbers be lower?

I'm seriously not doubting you, I just thought the Mustang dyno's number's were lower than the Dynojet's.

I thought the same thing as Rico - but then again I don't know much about dyno's. Perhaps it has something to do with the correction factors used?

This is true.... the mustang dyno usually always produces a lower number. It could be the way the operator set the correction factor.

None the less sounds like the car is making great power for the mods.

Regardless of the dyno, those are truly insane numbers for those mods. 400RWHP without opening the motor is very very rare.

Hey guys, sorry been away from the computer for a couple days so i been unable to responed. yea from what i've been reading the mustang is suppose to read a little lower than others, so i dont know. My car has nine pulls through the course of the last few months and they all been pretty consistant from the baseline to my most recent pulls after my mods. I dont know, maybe i own a factory freak(LOL) but im sure my performance shop had the dyno set up properly so who knows cheers

My first Z06 after some mods did 406 rwhp on a Dynojet and 421 on a Mustang. I always thought Mustang dynos read high, at least one's from Florida.

Wow, those are some strongs #'s! I wouldn't think you could get to 400 without a cam or heads. My car with the same mods minus the headers/cats put down 376hp/378tq on a Dynapack Dyno. So the long tubes/power cats gave you +24hp over my set up.

Well..........looks like it's time to invest in some long tubes/cats!
