Over the past couple weeks when I had time I installed some Texas Speed Headers and a universal K&N filter in place of the factory air box. I removed A.I.R. system, changed the fuel filter, plugs and wires. The car had a Corsa X pipe and Corsa Xtreme already installed.
I just had it dyno tuned today at Straightline Performance in Joliet IL and could not happier with the service and results. They use a very nice Mustang Dyno. I was hoping for 320HP and 320TQ... It made 368RWHP and 365TQ!! Thank you to Stroker87 for recommending the shop.
Question is do you feel those numbers on the street? Not doubting the dyno numbers but I would think you would feel like you were driving a different car!

Thank you all! Yes I do feel it on the street, car seems night and day Although I don't know what it made when it was stock.
I think I forgot to mention that the cats are gone
Congrats. I have a 2000 Navy Blue C5 as well with similar mods. On a dynojet I got 350 rwhp and 360 rwtq. From what I've read, Mustang dynos read higher so that may be why it's reading near stock C5Z numbers. Either way it sounds like they did a good tune for you. Best of luck, and your picture reminds me...I really need to clean my car lol.
368rwhp on a Mustang Dyno is very good for the mods. Enjoy the car!

Other way around; Mustang Dynos read lower than Dynojets.
On average it's about a 12% difference, but it also depends on the day, the dynos, and more than anything the weather correction factors used. They can easily be manipulated to show a bigger or smaller difference.
I want to see some 1/4 mile times and trap speeds! That's z06 numbers with a stockish early c5.
Great numbers for sure.
This. I used to chase dyno numbers when I first got into tuning/mod'ing cars, but now I chase 1/4 times and trap speed. Dyno's are great, but for me, results are in how the car feels and performs at the track.
