well said paul most people would already know this comparing dyno numbers is a waste of time as every compo is different and the same for dyno's.

 

yup......for example my car made 483 on one dyno in toronto and 497 on another...same setup (colder weather was the lower numbers)

The mach 1 i tuned with spacer made like 275 on joes dyno (less than what it dynoed stock at splitfire) and when i was done it made like 295

 

No, not at all. Cobras put down alot more. I constantly read on the US forums how most of these guys are in the 400rwhp range. I guess its a more aggressive tune with lots of timing. No need to jack up the timing on a daily driver. Bob will probably install the 4 way chip anyways (unless he's already done it) and can have his choice of tunes.

 

400rwhp on 8psi is next to impssoble on a moderate tune on pump gas

My old GT at 10+ psi and Long Tubes made under 380 with Lidio's tune

 

I am actually referring to the Steeda Mustang. They had a 400hp version and a 425hp version that had a bullit intake. According to the magazine, Steeda claimed these cars were 8lbs and were rwhp numbers. If I could find the actual magazine, I will look it up.

Did the magazine quote the wrong numbers? Before the whole SCT tune thing, it seemed many Vortech/ Paxton owners ran the Steeda re-flash tune.

 

Anyone can lean out the A/F and increase timing for max power....those are what I call "tooners"

My cars are tuned for reliability, drivability and reasonable power....i want my customers to feel confident when going WOT for a while

 

If this is what you're referring to.. LINK

There's no comparison...

 

That's the one Bob.

I have a 5.0L magazine where thay tested the Steeda with a Vortech and 8lbs of boost, it ran 12.3 at 117mph. They said it make 400hp at the rear wheels with no cooler and Ford would warranty the car for 3 years if Ford did the install. I guess it was 400hp at the crank which is about 340rwhp. You gotta love editorial mistakes in the publishing industry.

 

good stuff bob...glad u r happy


as for tunes and dyno numbers who cares

by the ET I am making in the neighbourhood of 420-430 rwhp on stock longblock and a Meister tune @ 10 psi...and timing at 18-19 degrees ... that is all pumpgas

 

What do ya mean Steeda.Ca and MPW do it again?????

They always do it period!!
Awesome numbers there Retread OLD BOY!!!!
You are gonna have to take me for a ride on Friday Nite!!!
Can't wait for Mike,Pat and Paul to finish up my car!!!!!
