21.5% power loss through the drivetrain is dreadful.

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

Oh yeah, to add to that my numbers were almost exactly what many LS3 Pontiac G8 GXPs put down on the same dyno.

 

Jason makes a good point -- we don't know what kind of dyno. DynoJets read high -- Mustang dynos read a lower and more technically accurate number. To compare two cars' dyno numbers, you need to test them back to back on the same dyno, same day, same operator, and the operator can't pull any tricks. There are all kinds of ways to make a dyno read higher or lower than it would normally read.

 

Yeah, I'd forgotten all about those dynos w/ that other name attached. They always seem to be down on power don't they?

 

Would be nice if a tuner would take the stock car to a track and get a baseline ET, then one after thier mods.

 

I assume the price includes a pair of ear plugs for that insane turbo whine!

 

woot woot

 

That's not the right way to look at it. Yes, Mustang dynos generally give lower numbers than what DynoJets give, but it's because they measure power in a different way. The fact is that their way is a more accurate way than what DynoJet uses, but that's not the point. Dynos are tuning tools. Make a run, change something, make another run, and see if you made it better or worse. That's all they're really good for.

You can brag about your dyno numbers and compare to other people's numbers if you want, but if you do, you're being foolish (unless you limit yourself to bragging to / comparing with people who also dyno'd their car on the same dyno on the same day).

 

looks pretty slow...nice car though

 

If I went turbo, I'd probably want it as loud as that.

 

Actually, I was trying to make a joke about the FORD MUSTANG being down on power. Not sure if the last paragraph was for me or not, but if it was, I'm not one to brag about such things, if I were, it would be in my sig.

 

That's pretty sick....how long will that engine last under boost?
