I agree a custom tune - dialed into your EXACT engine combo is a great way to go. But it is also hard to argue with the results so many people have and are reporting with this simple combo - The GMS combo also includes calibrateed electronic so you don't have to get a custom tune.
They even offer as spot to add 1 or 2 stages of nitrous

Talking about all the talk about a 300 HP car when it's not SAE corrected.
You can't make a challenge with uncompairable results (SAE Vs. STD), dynoing on different days and not back up the statement. Right?
Have your dyno shop change the correction factor to STD and watch your 285-290 RWHP intake and tune only car jump to 300. It's a normal car with normal results.

auto tranny HP/torq
KenB at modular depot told me with his custom tune he sends out that includes:
1. modular CAI
2. axle back exhaust
he is seeing around 272 rwhp on auto. mustangs
he says auto. stangs are lower than manual ones and this translate to roughly 289-290 rwhp on manual stangs.
flywheel, this is about 340hp

He didn't list all of his mods. He said he had other mods but the CAI and tune he felt made the biggest difference.
Same dyno on the same day could even be suspect, depending on the operator. There is no way to even consider comparing dyno figures from other locations. especially when your going to try to argue over a 3 to 10 HP swing.
On a Mustang dyno (not your typical DynoJet), my C&L racer and Brenspeed 93 octane tune picked up 26 HP and 29 TQ (final results 287.7 HP and 305.8 TQ) but were tested 8 months apart. The best part was that it translated into .31 second faster 1/4 times and over 3 mph in trap speed, all on stock 18 inch street tires. That was 8.710 seconds at 83.92 for the 1/8 mile figures on my 1/4 mile timeslip (13.362 at 106.3 for the full 1/4). No 1/8th mile princess here.

I am so lovin' this....
So, I just bought a Steeda CAI and elbow w/an SCT, yesterday from Brenspeed. I was disappointed when Dave @ Brenspeed told me to expect a 20hp increase on a 93 performance tune. Is he being conservative with his number, or is that a realistic increase?
I'm suprised ! Do automatics really lose that much

"HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your a$$?"
LoL...just an ol' funny quote...numbers are overated...it's the track times that really matter!

Take it to the track, and rule out ET but instead, focus on the MPH. Driver skill, tires, traction, etc. all will affect ET but MPH is hard to screw up.
Dyno's vary too much..... unless like some of you have said, you dyno before and after and have that reference point, there's just too many variables. The track is the same way with ET; however if you know the weight of the car, the MPH at the track is a good indicator of what kind of real power you have.
