Mustang dyno numbers
Put my car on the dyno at my school. Car made 344hp before weather corrections and 384hp after weather corrections does this sound right with my mods? Vararam, ls6 intake, borla x-pipe, and borla catback. will post graph as soon as possible. car is a 97 6-speed with 92k

The dyno is suppose to have a built in weather station that corrects for air temperature, humidity, elevation and a few other things i cant remember. Don't have a printout yet printer was not hooked to computer at the time but we did save the data from all the runs so it can be printed later. We had a 07 mustang on the dyno earlier with a
D1 procharger, 38lb injecters, side exhaust and tune and it made 466hp corrected which he said is about right.

My A4 2004 with headers, x pipe, tune, intake, and exhaust only made 338 at the wheels on a mustang dyno corrected for weather.
seems a little high.

Those numbers are so high it's silly.
Plus, remember a Mustang doesn't necessarily read lower than others. It is more of a variation from one individual dyno to another... not brand to brand. I know my tuner's dyno consistently reads about 10% lower than other DynoJet machines.

You might do a little research before you stick with that opinion.

Mustang Dynos tend to have better repeatability from dyno to dyno since the are a direct measurement of torque instead of a mathematical formula with too many variables that change outcomes from dynojet to dynojet. I actually like what I am doing on the track with my Mustang dyno numbers.

In real life the major difference is with the dyno operator. The operator can make the numbers read whatever they want. Physics ( theories ) are correct and will give you correct outcomes if you can eliminate the operator differences. I 'm not a bench racer by no means. I go after the track numbers rather than the dyno numbers.

I do agree that Mustang dynos are more consistent from machine to machine IF you can get the operator to not skew the variables. And if you mean running better times than others who have higher dyno numbers, that's awesome. I prefer that as well. I get sick of seeing the dyno kiddies on the boards claiming 500rwhp from a H/C setup but can't hit 11's.

Most Mustang numbers are normally lower. From what I have seen, Mustang dyno owners use them for more accurate tuning rather than handing out high numbers. I wouldn't let anyone tune on my car without using a loadbearing dyno as I could care less about peak numbers. I look at the entire curves.

numbers are too subjective, take it to the track for a real number.....the cars trap speed is a good gauge of how much power you are really making.

Since your curve is the distance of your shift extension or how far you drop between gears, just gear your car properly (duh I'm sure everyone knows this) so that your peak IS in the curve. Pretty basic stuff.
