Decided to get a dyno tune.

After only a .12 and .08 improvement in the 1/4 mile after adding cams and delete plates, I decided to get a dyno tune. I took the car to Dantes Modular Performance (DMP). Needless to say, I am impressed. I know dyno numbers don't mean a whole lot, but about 6weeks ago I dynoed my car on a dynojet. This was after cams but before CMDP. I had dynoed 317/304 on a 91 email tune. With the addition of delete plates and the dyno tune I dynoed
319/303 on a mustang dyno. I can feel a nice increase in power according to the butt dyno. I will just have to see if that translates to better times at the track.
The tuner, Dante, is known to have safe tunes. He does have a good rapport among the modular crowd.

Dyno tuning will always be "better" in the sense of power gain because its a custom tune designed specifically for your car for that environment. E-mail tunes are awesome because they're quick, cheap and pretty good, but not quite up to a reputable tuner physically sitting in your car with the laptop.

Make sure you post up some drag strip times! What were you running with the e-mail tune?

Best time so far is 13.376 at 103.99. With cooler weather and this new tune, I am aiming for 12s.

I was thinking I should have gotten a little more out of my cams. Before cams, I dynoed 304/312 after cams I dynoed 317/304. Both of these runs were on a dynojet.

Were they on the same dynojet? Dyno numbers are funny sometimes. A Dynojet decided I had 330 at the wheels with virtually no power mods in a ridiculous altitude on a hot hot hot day.

It was on the same dynojet. Even though when it was about 10 degrees hotter and about 10% more humidity when I dynoed with the cams, the SAE correction factor would have made the corrections.
