Dyno Results - LS2
Just got back from the dyno. Results are:
378 RWHP
364 RWTRQ
'06 MT
Callaway Honker
Borla Catback
Kooks 1 3/4
Kooks x pipe w/ cats
160 thermostat
You can see by the graph that everything dips right after 4000. This was the COT. It was still on and wouldn't let me lean it out. Didn't fugure this out until I got home. I picked up 10+ rwhp going from 10.5:1 to 11.5:1 so I figure it may have had another 10 in it which would have brought me to ~ 388. Didn't touch the timing. Torque was rather low. So, my tune clearly wasn't where it needed to be and made 378 using a Diablo predator.
UPDATE:
I now have a SPIN ported LS2 and TB so when I go back any gain in HP/TRQ will be the combination of the new mods and leaner A/F and timing. I'm hoping for close to 400, but we'll see.

Dyno was a mustang dyno and I tuned using a Diablo Predator. First run was really rich 10.XX A/F. Leaned it out a bit and picked up 11 rwhp peak over first run and even more throughout the range. It's still on the rich side over 4000 rpms (11.5:1) and timing was at 19^. Probably could have gotten a few more HP if I leaned it out a little more and advanced the timing, but overall I didn't think the numbers were too bad.

I didn't but would have liked to. I bought the car w/ Borla's on it and then as soon as I got the CAI and headers on I went to the dyno. would have been nice to see what I gained.

Stay with the mustang
If you add more performance mods like porting the TB & MANIFOLD which
is a very inexpensive you can pick about 12-15HP. One important thing is to test future mods on the same DYNO. By switching to another type of dyno you will skew the gains from your last mod for the sake of accuracy.
Most of us see the dynojet as a somewhat standard on this forum and when someone comes in with unusually high or low numbers a ton of scrutiny sets in. Good luck with your tuning.

I'd also like to know what the MPH would be
. I hope to get to the track before the season is over so I'll post up the timeslip.
I'm actually thinking of having Spinmonster port the stock intake and TB. I also figured out why I couldn't lean the car out on the dyno. The COT was adding fuel to cool the cats. When I shut it off with the Preadtor I was able to lean it out to 12.6:1, which should help pick up a bit of HP and TRQ. Next time at the dyno I'll make sure this is off when I do the tuning. Anyone know if I'll hurt the cats if I keep COT shut off?

My car is a 2007 Z51 6 Speed Manual; mods are Callaway Honker, 160 degree thermo, Kooks headers with catted mid pipe, Tune. Car had 900 miles on it when mods were installed - 385 hp, 373 tq. Car never trapped lower than 119 mph and never higher than 121 mph. Since then, I added Z06 cat back and 4:10s but since I am waiting to get some miles and heat cycles on the gears, I have yet to find out if there is any change.
