Default Mustang Dynamometor?

anyone had their car dynoed on a Mustang Dynamometer. This dyno puts a load on the car while testing.

Yep...many times. Specifically a Mustang Eddy current dyno...it tends to produce more conservative numbers that DynoJet

With a Dynojet the accepted conversion factor to flywheel HP uses 15%
The Mustang varies more, I've seen 30 to 35% to get Flywheel HP.

Mustang and dynojet never get the same numbers.

The operator has a lot to do with the dyno, what correction is used, etc. The only way to get any consistency with a Dyno is to use the same machine, the same correction factors and hopefully the same operator.

Default Dyno day

Hi Hal!

We took some of the club cars to CCS Tuning yesterday and managed to get real hot but we had a good time. Some of the results below;

2000 Z06 (Ken) 266 hp
2002 Z06 272 hp
64 427 approx 240 hp
various C4 and C5 200 to 240

my C6 262 hp and 262 torque and best of all my pulley didn't come loose. 6000 RPM / 138 mph

not too bad considering it was 100+ degrees and high humidity.

see ya!

Mike

Mike; Looks like the Mustang dyno conversion of 35% to flywheel is correct.

Your car; 262 HP@ 35% = 400HP flywheel.
My car; 350HP @ 12% = 400HP flywheel.

12-15% Dynojet loss and 30-35% Mustang?

Did you have the A/H & TC off? I think the computer would get confused and pull power with the back wheels @ 138MPH and the front wheels stationary.

Looks like Dynojet for bragging rights. Want to race dyno slips?
