Basline Dyno Results and QUESTIONS!!

[scottblack]

Then you are an exception. Your dyno person must not have known how to do it correctly. Everyone knows that Mustang dyno's put out higher numbers. One person on this board had 209HP/253TQ with a lid and catback, and some suspension mods, through an auto I believe. They are NOT right.

Get you some stockers to throw on there!!! I bet those 18s are robbing at least 20 horses.

I went 4 tenths faster in the 1/4 with stock 16s on as opposed to my 17s.

A stock LS1 dynoed at 255 HP at the wheels. I dynoed at 150 HP at the wheels with a Borla Catback exhaust, RK Sport Headers, FTRA, Whisper Air Lid, HPP3 tuning.

You do the math.<hr></blockquote>

wow, from my experiences, and from what ive heard from friends, mustang dyno's give you way higher numbers they what they actually are.

The inherant problem with the mustang dynos is the fact they are inconsistant. Some read higher, some lower, and they're NEVER comparable. Go dynojet if you do anything, its good for maybe 5% accuracy or better when compared to another one, and less than 1% when compared to itself back to back.

[supersixjohn]

So this ATI SC before/after dyno is based on a very inaccurate mustang dyno?

[Steve Presley]

From the impression I get, the blower still isn't on the car.. this is still N/A, right Batman?

[O0oSKAMo0O]

yea what were the numbers for the power increase with the blower

car hasn't been dynoed with the blower yet, i think everyone got the wrong impression from a previous post. the dyno he was referring to was on the n/a run

Mustang dyno numbers are a lot lower than Dynojet's numbers. When I went to dyno on a Mustang Dyno my max power was 150 and Torque was 185 at the wheels, the dyno guy showed me that stock LS1s were dynoing at 255 on that dyno. An LS1 should dyno stock at atleast 295, so with that proportion, my dyno should have been about 177 HP at the wheels.

Really you should use a dynojet if there is one anywhere near you. They are much more accurate, and their formulas for calculations are correct.<hr></blockquote>

Not so true. A mustangdyno is said to be more accurate and it takes gearing, like his 3.42's into acount. A dynojet has been proven to be not as accurate, but it's what most people dyno on, so it's a good way to measure.

Mustang dynos dyno higher. This is common knowledge.

Scott<hr></blockquote>

no they do not, mustang dyno's dyno lower, period.

I have seen many 275hp dyno runs by ls1 owners on the mustang, they go to a dynojet and put 320 down. Search the web, you will find more info on them there.

Anyone have a part number on those NGK TR6 plugs? Im turboing my in 1 1/2 weeks and I need a colder plug.

[supersixjohn]

Bottom line, he is going to be using a mustang dyno for results and everyone else is going to be using Dynojet. Wouldn't it be better if everyone used the same one?

[Steve Presley]

NO, he should use the same dyno for all the testing. We should all each try to use the same dyno we each use for all of our before/after runs... it's about consistency per the application. sure, you can use the dyno I use and report something different, but if you take one less factor out of the calculation, you'll get better results. Try to change as few variables as possible and you'll get more consistent results.

That's what I meant. Use the dynojet for before and after. He has to redo his before anyway until he finds the problem.
