He should be ecstatic to see that much of a power increase with just a tune. Other people are spending thousands more to see the power he just did.

Now have the car dyno'd on a Dynojet 248 and print the SAE corrected smoothing 5 figures. Compare apples with apples.
Notice that the top of the chart shows FLYWHEEL HP & TQ not Rear Wheel readings.

Exactly. I'm sure Synergy does great tunes, people praise them, but comparing dyno numbers from different dyno's isn't, as you say, apples to apples.

Dynapack measurements may be potentially higher than a dynojet, and certainly a mustang dyno, but the numbers would not be reflective of flywheel/engine horsepower. Actually the term wheel horsepower would still fit, since that is still the amount of power being transmitted to the WHEELS, however, the phrase "horsepower being put to the ground" would be inaccurate

Dynapack dyno's are garbage. Sorry for sounding like an *** but I've seen it TIME and TIME again. Someone gets a dynapack # and suddenly factory freaks exist again.......on average I see them read consistently 20rwhp higher. On a real dyno your in the upper 350's, which is right about where you should be with only a tune.

I've dyno'd on both a Dyno Dynamics and a Dynojet. Here's the results. Same car, same mods. Tune tweaked on the Dynojet to get a few more ponies.

The actual peak #s are not what matters, the gain from before and after the tune on the same dyno is what is important.
His gains are 27rwhp on the same dyno, fantastic.
Even on a dynojet, you would be seeing around 20rwhp gain before and after the tune.
Dynos are just tools used for tuning.
They all vary depending on type of dyno, weather conditions, etc...
I am very impressed with the gains achieved on a stock car by a simple tune.

The dyno dynamics showed 38 more peak hp. The tune really wakes up the C6, great mod.
