first trip to the dyno - numbers
We did a total of 3 pulls...
First pull: 467.3 hp...
They wanted to let the car cool off in order before a second pull was done.
Second pull: 468.4 hp...
They wanted to let the car cool off one more time but I said screw it...let me run it right now, hot and bothered...I wanted to get on the gas this time...
Third and final pull: 471.8 hp...
Conclusions:
1. My car likes me better...
2. Since a good 15-20rwhp could be squeezed out of the car through tuning (running really fat), I am considering getting a tune, but am slightly afraid about voiding warranty...

It's the break in miles - these engines love miles - great numbers!! Not sure if just a tune will void the warranty though. Send a PM to Jim Hall, I'm sure he knows.

Here are the runs...what can you guys tell from the curve? Also, from a few people that frequent this shop, they claim this dynos shows "lower" numbers...I am going to set up a time to run it again at the other dyno to get the other numbers and see if they are consistent.

Hey there! MC was my first choice but they were all at SEMA...do you know what you pulled "before" the tune? It would be good to know to see how much I could pick up from a good tune. Can you post yours so we can compare the curve? If you are interested, we are going out on a "drive" on Sunday. PM me for details...we usually get about half a dozen Z06's, about a dozen Vipers and a few Esprit's/Lambo's Ferro's...etc...

That is one strong ****! Amigo, screw the warranty and do your self a favor a get a tune locally or by email from either Myself, Jim, Charlie and so on. I'll bet that any one of us can get you more ponies...I know I can!
Please let me know if I can assist you with that. If necessary, as far as the dealer and your tuning goes, you can go back to stock in 30 seconds or less if you choose the HP tuners software route. Believe me, you can do it yourself in seconds
Thanks and congrats on your strong numbers

Re:

I've got the Chiefs-Packers game on Sunday, otherwise I would absolutely join you. I'm assuming I cant make it anyway...tailgating out there at 930ish, back home by 4.
Let me know when your group does that again! Where do you usually go route-wise? PM that info if you wish..

425 bone stock. This was on Dream Car Garage, a Speed TV productions this morning. Let's get some feedback here. 50hp at the rear wheels seems like alot.

But then on the other side of the coin in that article. They made 490hp with just a st of headers and a corsa cat back and maybe some tuning? So now we have a 65hp gain Hmm maybe a bit of marketing hype their side eh? I mean 65hp gain sure sounds a heck of a lot better than 40 doesn't it ? I would take these dyno claims with a grain of salt, every dyno and every car is a bit different. From my standpoint, on average on my Mustang dyno which is a model 600DE I see an average from a low of 440 to a high of 465 on a bone stock Z. My personal car made 451 on my dyno before any changes was made.
