Awesome. would you happen to know how much its going to cost to get it done?

Call them.

[dirtyd88]

yea i looked on there website as a matter of fact. $35 for 2 runs with air/fuel...that seems reasonable to me? or is that too expensive?

[ScrewedUPF150]

I would say that is good since the place near me wants double that for the same thing.

[Sleestak]

$35 for 2 runs sounds like a good deal. Was that at Gear Heads or Speedtek? I know the guy who owns Gearheads. They specialize in Fords. Lots of Cobras up there.

[dirtyd88]

it was at gear heads. im going to call today and see if they can do F150s, because im not sure if they just do mustangs or what. also to see about how long it will take.

i just looked at Speedtek's site, and this is what their rates are...

and this is kind of a newbie question, but i dont care if i get ragged on about it.

Does it matter if you have to auto tranny to jump on the dyno? or is it best to have a manual?

[Jwool15]

screw speedtek. Go over to HPP in lewisville

[dirtyd88]

well actually im going to go with Gearheads. they are having a Dyno Day this saturday, and you get 2 runs for $25. plus getting to see some amazing cars come in and rip it up!

How did the dyno go?

[dirtyd88]

dont laugh, but i made 154.07 rwhp and 200.18 rwtq. it sucks though, since i have an automatic with a speed limiter, it shut off at 100, so i wasnt able to make as much as possible. the guy said without the limiter, i would have made about 10(maybe 15) more HP and TQ. but im getting a programmer this summer and going to get it tuned and dynoed again. so im happy enough...

you should have just put it in 1st gear and did a pull from first. you would have been in the higher rpm range and make more hp.

the guy tried that. the highest curve on the sheet was in third gear. he did one pull in 1st, one pull in 2nd, and one in 3rd. im just going to get a programmer and tune it this summer.
