Ok, where to start...

basicly I just spent 2 hours at a dyno in san diego for no reason but to waste money and time...

I went to the Dyno Shop. They have 4 dynos there and you would think that they would know what they were doing woth 4 dynos, right? Nope. First off the guy at the desk asked my what to run the truck at and what RPM to stop at and all sorts of things that I don't know, so I told him to run it in 3rd gear and WOT up to the factory red line. Sounded right to me, is that wrong? Well long story short the numbers came back (after I paid mind you) and I was told that my truck put a whole 322hp and 456tq on the first run and 326hp and 407tq on the second run...with a/f's of 10:1 on the first run and 12:1 on the second run. Now I find that hard to believe since I have a 6# lower, CAI and Predator tune from Sal I'm so confused...so long story short, please stay away from the dyno shop, they have no clue what they are doing, nor do they know what they are talking about...they guy tried to explain the fact that I just dyno'd 401/560 2 weeks ago and lost 80hp and 110tq to the fact that auto's loose 11-12% in the drivetrain. And is it even possible to have an A/f jump arond like that?

On a side note, I did see the thread about a socal tuner, and Swanson and Socal diablo were suggested...I've decided that next time I dyno I'm gnna make the drive and go up to a tuner, so if you gys cold give me some info, like who has tunes from these guys? And how did you like them?

TIA

Drive up to Danny Swansons. Sounds like amateur hour at the place that you were at. Danny tunes almost every fast Lghtning around here. I am sure that he will be able to take good care of you. Skip

 

Hmmm I used to work up the street from them I thought they knew what they where doing. But I had a big ? in my head about them. I think Danny Swanson is the person to see.

 

Go to Danny Swanson, he is the best in SoCal, with the most experience and knowledge for Lightnings and Mustangs.

Go to JBA performance off of Convoy St. They know what they are doing and they have good prices.

 

Were they Mustang/chassis dynos?

 

JBA doesn't know Squat about Lightnings.

Get a true westcoast tune. Visit Danny

He tunes the Fastest KB'd Stock blocker L.
1/4 11.6 @ 119mph

you won't be disapointed

I had my truck tuned there yesterday. 7 hour roundtrip drive made well worth it!

echo5oscar...I've gone to JBA for my my lat 2 dyno's...and honestly if I had gone to them for this tune I probably wouldn't have had this reaction...but I think that I will save the money to drive up to Swanson and tune there...

for all you other guys, if you don't mind my asking, how long, or how much did it take to do your tune? I
ll bw driviing from san diego with limited funds, so miney is (unfortunately) an issue...

Call Danny and set up a time. He will get you in and out in a timely manner. Swanson Performance (310) 787-7800.

 

Tell me your mods and I'll guess your Hp, Tq, and A/F for 20 bucks.

BTW, I am looking for a dyno session. Was the name of this shop really "The Dyno shop" ?

 

I think I will call Swanson, he sounds like the way to go...

The shop actualy is called 'The Dyno Shop'...

A friend drove up to get his L tuned by Danny. He was there almost all day. He had trouble tuning it, Danny put all his time and effort to try to get it right. Later on my friend found out he had a bad injector, so that was the reason Danny couldnt tune it right. What Im trying to say is that he gives good service, and will try his best to help you out.
