Unfortunately no we didn't, we had a car on the dyno when the customer dropped the car off, and due to his timeframe, we started the installation right away. The dyno wasn't open again until the car was completed. Car was dropped off at 6pm CST 3/15, car was completed with dyno tune by 5pm CST 3/16. Guess that's the price to pay for such a fast turn around. I really wish we could have had a "net gain." The customer is a member of this board "Matsarge" is his handle, you can ask him about the before/after difference in the car.

Hey Mike, thanks for all the work yesterday. Please thank Mike, Nick and the rest of the guys for their help as well, you guys did an incredible job on the car.
The power through all gears is awesome. On the highway in 4th I could jump from 60 to 110 with no effort. Once I got home I did a test run on open stretch of road by my house and even with the traction control on, the back tires broke grip when I shifted into 2nd.
Now, it just needs to quit snowing this morning so I can take the car back out.

We're so glad you like the end results of your package. I wish I could have ridden in the car before we started ripping into it, so I could have witnessed the transformation first hand. You're right, now we just have stop the snow.

Great numbers.
Mike, Nick and the rest of the crew at Straightline are doing mine real soon, probably sometime in April. Pretty much the same mods as matsarge. I can't wait.
I also must say this about these guys. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable and competent about their craft they are also some of the nicest and most personable people you would want to meet and work with.

As long the car runs like a scalded rabbit after you're done with it, which I know it will, I don't care if you compare it to a Yugo.

According to Mustang Dynometer, there is an assumed 17% drivetrain loss from SAE Hp measured at the crank and measured at the rear wheel. We typically see a 7-10% lower number on our Mustang Dyno (due to loading) than a DynoJet. You can take your pick then on how you'd like it converted. On a DynoJet you'd see 401-412rwhp depending on how conservative you are. Assuming the 17% drivetrain loss is correct, then 438hp would be the "flywheel" rating.
