You got 376 rear wheel horsepower (RWHP). What mods do you have?

The Mustang dyno's show lower horsepower when compared to a Dynojet. The Mustangs place a load on the vehicle while on the rollers. I dont know what the correction offset is, maybe 15-20%. REM should know.

I'm guessing you got Dyno'd at REM's shop..............When I had my truck dyno'd there, with the exact same mods you have (except K&N filter with open airbox instead of open air filter), I was around 365 RWHP, but 490 RWTQ...........Basically, if you wanted to know what you would get on a dynojet, add about 12% to your current #'s on HP..........your torque numbers will be the same.

Your tune is a little different than mine as can be represented by the numbers...........You can always have Paul play with the parameters and see what you like better...........I personally preferred to have the higher torque numbers.

The 12% is a rule of thumb........There is no exact formula, although Ed Zerbe from the SVTOA came up with the closest one I've seen to date...............run a search over on the fla svt site, for which I can't write the link here, but I'm sure you know where it is.

And dont' be so sure YOU DON'T have that type of power on your truck...................It is possible..............Some have put down that type of power with only a 4#'er..............like I said B4, it's all in the tune.

Hey, you were at the Mustang Roundup Show a couple weeks ago weren't you......................I had the red Mach 1 a couple of spots down from you...............I didn't get to meet you, but I love the flame job on your truck

It's only about 5 to 10% on average, if even that, depending on the dyno.

Cool

Paul will be able to answer this one.

A few weeks ago I saw someone posting either here or at nloc about this. And the number they used was 9%. (based on much experience)
