    Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

    Is the the piggyback the Stillen TruControl?

    Looking it up I find it interesting they measure HP gain at the flywheel and torque at the wheels. Other tuners I've looked at normally show only the flywheel or crank specs since it is nearly impossible to get consistent/repeatable "at the wheel" values on a dyno.

    Based on the claimed 55HP and 50 lbs/ft from their site, let's hope he's statistically close on torque and gets around 45-ish more HP (due to 15% drivetrain loss).

    The weather isn't ideal but will be far more favorable than if you did it in the dead of summer. From my highly calibrated butt-dyno, I've always found the 60-70 degree mark seemed to be the ambient sweet spot with any car.

    It is the TruControlFrom "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

    I do wish it were about 60, maybe they'll close the doors and hook up those exhaust ducts to the tsilpipesFrom "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

Now he's got a full Stillen cat-back exhaust and Stillen piggyback w/colder NGK plugs to support it. He's got an aFe open intake and aFe TIP but those aren't installed yet and will not be for the dyno, that's too bad actually.

    We get 4 pulls on the Mustang dyno for $125 and its supposed to 45 and rainy this Friday, figures but apparently that doesn't matter for us. There's another car dynoing too, an STi w/COBB everything including E30 tune. He roll raced him "In Mexico" and the STi put a solid car on him but it's supposed to make 415 whp, I guess we'll see.

    So what's your prediction for his EN and what do you think I'll makeFrom "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

    I haven't dyno'd since 2008 with my MINI Cooper S. It had a 2.5" exhaust w/Magnaflow muffler and enclosed Ram-Air intake...149whp and 172 WTQ, "Heartbreaker Dyno" but my heart wasn't broke because I wanted to see how it did.

    I mean honestly 150whp in a car that size is still spunky, unslow rather lol. Just not a ground pounder per say lol.

    I hope to see 375whp once FBO. I would be thrilled with that.
